How to read Internet header of and email in outlook

Question

I try to read an email Internet headers that we can view it in email properties in outlook app I ask if there is an option so I can get this I use this code to read the emails in outlook

  Outlook::Application outlook;
  if (!outlook.isNull())
  {
  Outlook::NameSpace session(outlook.Session());
  session.Logon();
  Outlook::MAPIFolder *folder = session.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook::olFolderInbox);

  Outlook::Items* mails = new Outlook::Items(folder->Items());
  mails->Sort("ReceivedTime");
  int num = mails->Count();
  ui->label->setText(QString("I have %1 of messages").arg(QString::number(num)));

  // Indexing starts from 1
  for (int i = 1; i < num; i++)
  {
  Outlook::MailItem mail(mails->Item(i));
  QString s = mail.Subject(); // do something with subject
  QString b = mail.Body(); // do something with body
  ui->plainTextEdit->appendPlainText("subject : \n" + s);
  ui->plainTextEdit->appendPlainText("Body : " + b);
  ui->plainTextEdit->appendPlainText("-----------------------------------------------");
  }
  }

and I was check the Outlook::MailItem for a function to get this Internet header but I not found so if any one try it before or have any idea to solve this Thanks in advance

You can access the Internet headers via the PR_TRANSPORT_MESSAGE_HEADERS_W property. That property and other MAPI properties are retrievable via the PropertyAccessor object. Note though that individual x-headers are not accessible via a named MAPI property, they are bundled within the message headers so you'll need to parse every line of text to find any particular header record.

Sorry, use the DASL name for that property: .GetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x007D001F") – Eric Legault Mar 13 '17 at 00:20
please can you add the full part of the code to your answer Thank you – user7179690 Mar 13 '17 at 02:15
this what i try : Outlook::PropertyAccessor *acc = mail.PropertyAccessor(); QVariant var = acc->GetProperty("schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x007D001F"); – user7179690 Mar 13 '17 at 02:16
i got this error : QAxBase: Error calling IDispatch member GetProperty: Unknown error – user7179690 Mar 13 '17 at 02:17
Try 0x007D001E instead. Also see the documentation for GetProperty here, which very conveniently has a sample on getting the Internet headers: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff868350.aspx – Eric Legault Mar 13 '17 at 19:36
