When drag a mail item and drop to some other folder item_add event is called

b'se an item is added to a folder.

But before item_add What's actual event for drag and drop in outlook?

Item_add event is called for all cases like saving a mail, sending a mail,

moving a mail.

But if i want to call item_add event for special case(drag and drop) then

what i need to do.
 
There are no drag and drop events in the Outlook object model, as a look at

the Object Browser will tell you. You'd have to go down to the Windows

message hook level and hook all such messages using Win32 API calls and a

message hook.

Ok i think item_add event is enough to handle the case. But here there is a

problem.

When a new mail arrives application_newmail event(event number 0xfba7 in

c++) is called.And when move a mail from one folder to another folder then

also application_newmail event is called.

I'm facing the problem if a exchange user has some mails in its inbox and i

create profile for this user and login to user using outlook. Here

application_newmail event will call until it receives all mails in

inbox(outlook looks like hang until all mail receive). Is there any way to

recognize this case? Means can i set a bool which tells me that outlook has

received all mails and ready for any action now? When launch outlook

OnStartupComplete is called and return before outlook receive new mails. Is

there any other function which tells outlook is idle now.

Or can we differentiate in application_newmail event for the cases when new

mail arrive or move a mail from one folder to another.

If you are getting NewMail() in cases other than when email is delivered to

the Inbox of the primary mailbox then something is very wrong.

That event only fires in that case, and only then at intervals, allowing you

to miss incoming items.

A better event to use would be either Inbox.Items.ItemAdd() or NewMailEx().

NewMailEx() gives you a delimited list of the EntryID's of items that have

come in since the last time that event fired.

ItemAdd() has a limitation common to most MAPI events where it won't fire at

all if more than 16 items come in at once.

There are 2 newmail events in application. I dont know exact functions in

VB. I'm using c++.

newmail(0xf003) this is call when we create a new mail in outlook

newmailex(0xfba7) this is call when a new mail receives in outlook for

following cases

1. new mail receive in inbox folder

2. we create a new mail and save/send it

3. we move a mail from one folder to another folder

For all cases outlook first calls application_newmailex then Items.ItemAdd


> NewMailEx() gives you a delimited list of the EntryID's of items that have

Please explain how EntryID's can help?

The critical case is if a exchange user has some mails already in it and we

create a new profile for this user in outlook and login to outlook then

application_newmailex and Items.ItemAdd will be call for all mails which

come to inbox until outlook restored all old mails.

You've lost me completely.

There are both NewMail() and NewMailEx() (for VB, VBA, VB.NET and C#). I

don't do C++ but my guess is that the event with the higher index is

NewMailEx(). However, both events should only fire when new mail is

delivered to the default Inbox in that Outlook profile.

If you are seeing anything else then you're seeing something that I've never

heard of in the Outlook object model and I have no idea what's going on.

Just look at the object model in the Object Browser in the Outlook VBA

project to see what I'm talking about.

NewMailEx() should only fire in case 1, never in your cases 2 & 3.

The list of EntryID's you get from NewMailEx() lets you access each new mail

that came in, which is what I thought we were talking about.

You are correct it's NewMailEx(0xfba7) which is call when a new mail receive

in Inbox folder. Lets forget about NewMail(0xf003) it's not related here and

it's only call when we click on File->New Mail item in outlook.

NewMailEx is called when user receives new mails in its inbox folder. Or if

user already contains some mails and we create its profile in outlook. When

we login to user NewMailEx is call which receive all existing mails(which

are on server) in outlook.

But in my outlook(user profile is created using exchange server) NewMailEx

is also called when after creating a new mail we save it, or we move an

existing mail from one folder to another.

So i still dont know by which action item_add event is called.

I think the only way(as per myknowledge) is to implement drag and drop. You

have already said it should do using windows API. I think i should implement

drag and drop in active inspector. I dont know how to do it. Is there any

link available on net?

You'd have to research that yourself, I'm not familiar with any such

examples.

I can see NewMailEx() firing when items are downloaded from the Exchange

server on startup only if the profile is cached. If online the items are

already there in Inbox. I still have no idea why you'd see that event in the

other circumstances you mention.
