    The MAPI profile name, as a String (string in C#), to use for the session.
  • Password
    Type: System.Object
    The password (if any), as a String (string in C#), associated with the profile. This parameter exists only for backwards compatibility and for security reasons, it is not recommended for use. Microsoft Oultook will prompt the user to specify a password in most system configurations. This is your logon password and should not be confused with PST passwords.
  • ShowDialog
    Type: System.Object
    True to display the MAPI logon dialog box to allow the user to select a MAPI profile.
  • NewSession
    Type: System.Object
    True to create a new Outlook session. Since multiple sessions cannot be created in Outlook, this parameter should be specified as True only if a session does not already exist.
