How is it possible to capture the arrival of new mail in the Inbox folder, transfer that item to the folder associated with a form, then run some code from that form?

I'm trying to develop an add-in that will check for new mail from a specific address, then perform some (as yet, unspecific) action on it.

Cheers,

Wayne

Hi Wayne.

Yes, it is possible. You can download and try the following example:

To move an email from one folder to another you can use the Move method of the Outlook._MailItem interface.

Hi Wayne.

No, there is not.
Is it difficult for you to rewrite C# code in VB.NET?

Umm, maybe. I have zero experience with C#

Thanks Sergey for the example.

I'm now having a bit of trouble getting the mail items' info (sender, body, subject, etc). I thought I might create a class to help out....

Imports Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook

Public Class NewMail

Private _MailID As String
Private _Subject As String
Private _Sender As String
Private _Body As String
Private _HTMLBody As String

Public Sub New(ByVal MailID As String)
_MailID = MailID
GetDetails()
End Sub

Public ReadOnly Property Body() As String
Get
Return _Body
End Get
End Property
Public ReadOnly Property Subject() As String
Get
Return _Subject
End Get
End Property
Public ReadOnly Property Sender() As String
Get
Return _Sender
End Get
End Property
Public ReadOnly Property HTMLBody() As String
Get
Return _HTMLBody
End Get
End Property

Private Function GetDetails()
Dim mai As Outlook.MailItem
Dim OutlookApp As Outlook.Application

mai = OutlookApp.Session.GetItemFromID(_MailID)

_Sender = mai.SenderEmailAddress
_Subject = mai.Subject
If mai.BodyFormat = OlBodyFormat.olFormatHTML Then
_HTMLBody = mai.HTMLBody
ElseIf mai.BodyFormat = OlBodyFormat.olFormatPlain Or mai.BodyFormat = OlBodyFormat.olFormatRichText Then
_Body = mai.Body
End If

End Function

End Class

....but it keeps erroring out on this line....

mai = OutlookApp.Session.GetItemFromID(_MailID)

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Wayne

Hi Wayne.

Do you take into consideration that the entryID of the Outlook mail is changed when you move it to another folder?

I haven't moved it yet. So far I've only been testing to see if I can retrieve the info....

Private Sub adxOutlookEvents_NewMailEx(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal entryIDCollection As String) Handles adxOutlookEvents.NewMailEx
Dim ids As String() = entryIDCollection.Split(",")
Dim i As Integer

For i = 0 To ids.Length - 1
If AddNamedProperty(ids(i), "MyNamedProperty", "My Property Value.") Then
Dim MailItem As New NewMail(ids(i))
MsgBox(MailItem.Subject)
End If
Next i

End Sub
