Not everyone uses Outlook, and there typically are differences between
applications and environments in how e-mail information is formatted, so
please post a sample of the sort of data you need to parse. Someone will
then offer a solution based on that specific format.

As to the second question, the e-mail's header should contain information
about the sender, although it is important to remember that this header
information can easily be faked.
