New mail event doesn't work all time DavidE 2/1/2007 11:49:00 AM Hi, I created a com add-in that fires an event when a new mail arrives. This is the code: Private WithEvents objNS As Outlook.NameSpace Private WithEvents colItems As Outlook.Items Private Sub Application_Startup() Set objNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") 'NameSpace Object Set colItems = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items .... End Sub Private Sub colItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object) Code to handle incoming mail End Sub Usually, this code does the work but some times it doesn't. When it stop working the event doesn't fire for all incoming mails. I fix it by closing and reopen the outlook. When the outlook is reopen it loads the add-in.Some times I need to restart the computer. I tried to solve this problem by cretaing a schedule task for a bat file that contain a regsvr32 command for this dll but it doesn't solve the problem. I don't think that it's a problem of code but I think that it's a problem of the outlook that unload the add-in without a logical reason. I'll glad to get help for this problem. Thanks, David

That's a hard limitation from MAPI.

Re: New mail event doesn't work all time DavidE 2/4/2007 10:06:00 AM Hi Ken, Thanks for your reply. I don't think that those are the cases because I never get 16 mails at once and I don't see any error messeges when the ItemAdd fails, which I should see if an unhandled error occur. Let me know if there other reasons for this problem. David "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: [Quoted Text] > ItemAdd will fail to fire if 16 or more items are added to the Inbox at a > time.

Re: New mail event doesn't work all time "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 2/4/2007 5:18:36 PM Is this a COM addin, or Outlook VBA macro code? We're talking about 2 different things. The code looks like Outlook VBA code, especially with the Application_Startup() initialization. You might not see an error message, depending on what level the error occurred at. It would serve to disable your macro code though. Are you assuming everything that comes in is a mail item? It might be a meeting request, task request, etc. In general, if VBA code works in most situations but gets disabled from time to time it's a matter of error handling or logic errors. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "DavidE" <DavidE[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F29DF476-21FB-4115-8C51-AE361DC2C830[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: New mail event doesn't work all time DavidE 2/5/2007 7:51:00 AM Hi Ken, This is a COM AddIn. I create it with VB6.I have a deafult template of outlook project on it and then I use the dll to install it on users machines. I check everything that come if it's "IPM.Note" FormDescription.MessageClass. If it is the code is process. Is there anything else to check in addition to check the logic again ?

Re: New mail event doesn't work all time "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" <kenslovak[ at ]mvps.org> 2/5/2007 3:12:51 PM If this is a COM addin why are you using the Application_Startup() procedure? In many or most cases it will fire before your addin is started by Outlook. You would want to use either the On_Connection event handler or the On_StartupComplete event handler provided by the IDTExtensibility2 interface. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "DavidE" <DavidE[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A3C74B85-AC55-4596-8ACD-0AC5DEAF4278[ at ]microsoft.com...
