Hi,

User can using multi email client on multi device to sending email.
Then, all email send will sync to Send folder on Outlook
For some reason, we must to know what email have send by using another email client than Microsoft Outlook.

Is it possible?

Hi Phuong,

I am not sure if this is possible. If other email clients add some Extended MAPI properties to outgoing emails then you will be able to detect them. I would suggest that you send a couple emails by using other email clients and compare their Extended MAPI properties with those of Outlook emails.

Hi,

Another solution is hook to the Send event and mark an email is sending by Outlook.
I found your article here: https://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2009/02/06/outlook-itemsend-sendbutton-events/
Do you know any fields on MailItem object can store custom data ?

Thanks

Hi Phuong,

You can try to store custom data in the https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/office/ff866403.aspx collection.
