How do I know which email is selected, I perform various functions with emails whether they be in explorer or inspector windows.

Say I have an inspector window opened and I receive a new email, technically the new email becomes the currently selected email, how can I avoid this.

Regards,

Tom

Hello Tom,

When you select an email, the SelectionChange event occurs on the Explorer object representing the Outlook Explorer window in which you select the email. In add-in Express, this email is mapped to the ExplorerSelectionChange event of the Outlook Events component; you need to put it onto the add-in module.

Starting from Outlook 2010, you can manipulate the selection programmatically, see Explorer.AddToSelection(), Explorer.RemoveFromSelection() and Explorer.ClearSelection() methods.
