Get Smtp email from ContactInfo stored in Exchange

Question

I am using VSTO for my Outlook add-in. Currently I am processing email addresses from all Outlook contacts. There is no problem for instances of ContactInfo if EmailAddress1Type is "SMTP".

But how to get email address for Exchange contact (Email1AddressType = "EX")?

Redemption library is not solution for me as it is expensive just to solve this one problem.

Thank you in advance,

Dusan

Here is the MSDN reference link and corresponding sample code:

private const string Email1EntryIdPropertyAccessor = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062004-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/80850102";

PropertyAccessor propertyAccessor = contactItem.PropertyAccessor;
object rawPropertyValue = propertyAccessor.GetProperty(Email1EntryIdPropertyAccessor);
string recipientEntryID = propertyAccessor.BinaryToString(rawPropertyValue);
Recipient recipient = contactItem.Application.Session.GetRecipientFromID(recipientEntryID);
if (null == recipient)
    throw new InvalidOperationException();

bool wasResolved = recipient.Resolve();
if (!wasResolved)
    throw new InvalidOperationException();
ExchangeUser exchangeUser = recipient.AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser();
string smtpAddress = exchangeUser.PrimarySmtpAddress;
