Now I recreate the folders on Startup.
I have noticed some weird behavior though. Sometimes the folder titles
appear italicized and the folder icon dimmed. Then when I click on one the
titles appear normal again and I can see the search results in the
particular folder. The issue though is that the folder title no longer has
the number of items in the title, e.g. "My Search [23]". It appears as "My
Search". I set this property after I create the folder:
public void ReCreateAll()
{
foreach (SearchFolder f in sFolders.Values)
f.Create();
}
public void Create()
{
try
{
Outlook.Application olApp;
Outlook.Search search;
//Deleting existing search-folder
Remove();
//Initialization
olApp = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application;
search = olApp.AdvancedSearch(this.scopeStr, this.filter,
true, this.tag);
Outlook.MAPIFolder myFolder = search.Save(this.FolderName);
this.EntryId = myFolder.EntryID;
myFolder.ShowItemCount =
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlShowItemCount.olShowTotalItemCount;
Globals.ThisAddIn.SaveSearchFoldersInfo();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
AppLogger.LogException(e);
}
}
public void Remove()
{
if (this.folderEntryId != null)
{
Outlook.Application olApp;
olApp = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application;
try
{
Outlook.MAPIFolder existingFolder =
olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetFolderFromID(this.folderEntryId,
Type.Missing);
if (existingFolder != null)
existingFolder.Delete();
//Remove folder's entryID
this.folderEntryId = null;
//Save the changes
Globals.ThisAddIn.SaveSearchFoldersInfo();
}
catch (Exception)
{
}
}
}
