Losing handle to MailItem when send "donald" <jonathan[ at ]dorling.biz> 2/1/2006 3:47:33 PM If you access Outlook through COM-automation and create a new MailItem, you lose access to it when it is send. "The subject has been moved or deleted" or some such error message you get, if you try to access any of the mails properties after it has been send. I know i need to keep track of the MailItem where it is using MAPIFolder.Items.ItemAdd event on the "Sent Items" folder and add a unique custom property to the message and then search for that message in the "Sent Items" folder. I got the ItemAdd and it find it but i need to check it is the right message so how can i add a custom property to all the MailItem in outlook? Thanks Donald

Re: Losing handle to MailItem when send "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" <suemvp[ at ]outlookcode.com> 2/1/2006 4:46:59 PM Never, ever change items in the Outbox.

Re: Losing handle to MailItem when send "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" <suemvp[ at ]outlookcode.com> 2/1/2006 4:58:13 PM But you're using the Add event on the OUtbox's Items collection: [Quoted Text] > Private Sub currentoutbox_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object) Handles > currentoutbox.ItemAdd Never use that folder's ItemAdd event.

Re: Losing handle to MailItem when send "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" <suemvp[ at ]outlookcode.com> 2/1/2006 5:17:56 PM This statement in the snippet you posted suggests that you're trying to process items as they are added to the Outbox, although you don't show the derivation of your "currentoutbox" object: Private Sub currentoutbox_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object) _ Handles currentoutbox.ItemAdd Repeating: Never use the Outbox folder's ItemAdd event.

Re: Losing handle to MailItem when send "Dmitry Streblechenko" <dmitry[ at ]dimastr.com> 2/1/2006 6:09:56 PM Application.ItemSend event fires before the mesasge is first moved to the Outbox and then to the Sent Items folder, so you you can safely add your custom prop in that event handler.
