Hello,

MS OUTLOOK 2003 on XP PRO

Awhile ago I was looking for how to do this and it was irritating me that it

was so hard to get a straight answer on how to pull this routine together.

So I thought I'd post sample code here to let everyone now how to do this

VERY simple thing.

Note: Occassionally, this thing de-initializes and won't trigger. If that

happens your email goes to your sent mail folder on the server side same as

always. No biggie, just close and re-open outlook to re-initialize or

manually run through the sub Application_Startup in the ThisOutlookSession

object. If I figure out how to prevent this from ever happening, I will

repost with better code.

I hope this is helpful to others. It really irked me that I couldn't find

seemingly simple sample code for this, so I thought I'd publish.

***I make no claims on the stability of this code, or it's reliability in

never causing problems. I believe it works well on my machine, and I think

it will work on yours but I have not rigorously tested it or done any

official software testing exercises. I am not responsible if this routine

eats your email by mistakes. It's not supposed to, but I don't KNOW that it

won't. Use at your own risk.

Macro to Mark as Read and Move to Archive Folder...

Copy and paste this to Objects 'This Outlook Session'

'**************************************

Dim classHandler As New cls_SentMail

Private Sub Application_StartUp()

classHandler.Initialize_handler

End Sub

'**************************************

Put in Class Module named 'cls_SentMail'

'*************************************

Dim myolApp As New Outlook.Application

Public WithEvents myOlItems As Outlook.Items

Public Sub Initialize_handler()

Set myOlItems =

myolApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderSentMail).Items

End Sub

Public Sub myOlItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)

Dim myNewFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace

Dim str_path As String

Dim str_pst As String

Dim str_folder As String

' User Defined Variables

str_path = "XXXXXXX.pst" 'This is the complete filepath for the PST

file you are using as an archive

str_pst = "Current" 'This is the name of the PST file as it

appears in the OUTLOOK window, below your inbox

str_folder = "Email" 'This is the name of the folder inside

str_pst that you want sent email move to.

Set myNameSpace = myolApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

myNameSpace.AddStore (str_path)

Set myNewFolder = myNameSpace.Folders(str_pst).Folders(str_folder)

Item.Move myNewFolder

Item.UnRead = False

Item.Save

'Debug.Print Item.Subject

End Sub

You had two questions and got two answers, which obviously helped you to

write this code. Why was that hard?

Best regards

Re: Move Sent Email to archival pst folder and mark as read - HOW

Sorry. I think that was a bad day and I was in a rush. Looking back at all

the posts I got pretty good help.

I really appreciate all the hard work and help I've gotten from this forum.

I can't even begin to explain how much the Access and Excel sections bailed

me out, especially when I was learning Access.

Part of my irritation is that it felt like such a simple thing and I kept

thinking "There has to be sample code hanging around on the web for

this...There has to be something I can cherry pick." and then never finding

that. The other part is that I am used to the Access and Excel forums, where

I've typically gotten much more pseudocode based answers versus paragraphical

explanations.

Sorry. Re-reading my post, I sound really bitter.

I appreciate the help.

Thank you once again, and thank you to all the MVPs and Helpful friends on

the forum.

Have a wonderful day.
