Clone mailitem

[Ramazan]

Hi all,

I want to clone mail item. When i use Copy() method for mailitem in

inbox folder and call Display() method there is a Send button. But it

must be reply,forward and reply all buttons. I think Copy() method

copies some of properties like Subject,To,Body...

How can i clone with all properties?

Thanks in advance.

Copy() should copy just about all the properties from an original item. Of

course things like EntryID will be different. If there are any properties

you don't see on the copy from the original then you must copy them over

yourself.

I understand this, It is not related to copy. I call Copy() method

and contruct new mail and call Display() method . I can't see

Reply,forward and reply all buttons. It says that "Message is not

send". I can onlu show Send button.

But when i double click on new constructed mail and open it, on

inspector i can see Reply,forward and reply all buttons.

I can't understand where is the problem .

I will try call in thread mailitem display method after wait a 1-2

minute. Because i'm doing all of this activities in OnOpen() method. I

will try after return OnOpen()

Do you have any idea?

Well obviously if you create a new, unsent message it will be unsent and

won't have the Reply, ReplyAll or Forward buttons. No new mail does.

I don't care if you double-click to open a new item or not, if it was never

sent it shouldn't have those buttons. If you are seeing something else then

you aren't explaining what you actually are seeing, or your Outlook is

really messed up.

I'm having a similar issue, though not with the Clone function. I'm starting

to think it's just the way Display works

My situation is as follows:

emails arrive in the inbox, and must be relocated to another folder

("Cabinet") as they are read. Since outlook has the tendancy to close the

email when moving it to another folder, I have written the following to

relocate the email, and then display it again:

Set objApp = Outlook.Application

Set objNS = Outlook.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")

Set objItem = GetCurrentItem() 'some other working function

Set objFolder = objItem.Parent

Set MAPIFolderObject = objFolder.Parent

Set objFolder1 = MAPIFolderObject.Folders("Cabinet")

Set movedItem = objItem.Move(objFolder1)

movedItem.Display

now, when the email is originally opened, it is shown in read mode. From: is

the sender's address, to: is my group's address, etc.

After running the macro, the mail is redisplayed in edit mode, from: is the

sender's address, to: is my group's address. Only the Send button is

available, yet I would expect to be able to Reply.

Since I'm faily sure that's what this thread was getting at, any idea of

cause/resolution?

This is not the same thing as what this thread is discussing, please do not

hijack threads, start your own.

When an item is moved it's first copied to the new folder and then the

original item is deleted.

If your code gets the EntryID of movedItem and then closes and releases all

instances of your Inspector/MailItem objects and then uses the EntryID to

get the moved item as a new instance of a MailItem object you will not see

what you are seeing now. To release the existing instances set them to

Nothing.
