Hi

I'm using ProcessItemAdd of ADXOutlookItemsEvents in order to change FlagIcon add add some MailItem.UserProperties in newly added mails in a specific folder.
After doing the above, I call MailItem.Save and sometimes my changes are kept but some other doesnt.

I've notice that when I move a mail from other folder to that specific folder, everything is OK.
But when I copy a mail from other folder to that specific folder, the MailItem.Save seems doesnt works.

Hi Sergey

Your example works fine on my PC.
I dont know how can I send to you a sample project that illustrates the problem in order to test it on your PC, so, I send you the code. 


Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook

'Add-in Express Add-in Module

    Me.SupportedApps = CType(( _

#End Region

#End Region

  Public Sub New()
    MyBase.New()

    'This call is required by the Component Designer

    'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

  End Sub

  Public ReadOnly Property OutlookApp() As Outlook._Application

      Return CType(HostApplication, Outlook._Application)
    End Get
  End Property

  Private Sub AddinModule_AddinStartupComplete(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.AddinStartupComplete

Hi Thanasis.

You have the incorrect code in the AddinStartupComplete event handler.
Try to change it as shown below.

Private itemsEvents As OutlookItemsEventsClass1 = Nothing

Private Sub AddinModule_AddinStartupComplete(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.AddinStartupComplete

itemsEvents As New OutlookItemsEventsClass1(Me)

itemsEvents.ConnectTo(AddinExpress.MSO.ADXOlDefaultFolders.olFolderDrafts, True)
End Sub
End Class

Private Sub AddinModule_AddinBeginShutdown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.AddinBeginShutdown
itemsEvents.Dispose()
End Sub

When I found that I cannot send you my test project as attachment in this forum, I was in a hurry to "packed" it as text and that was caused this error you've noticed.

In my original test project of course itemEvents are not a local variable.

So, this is not the problem.

Try to do the correction you've write and then I hope you'll see that when you drag and drop to Drafts folder en email, everything is OK.
But when you ctrl+drag (copy) an email to Drafts folder then MailItem.Save does not save the changes.

In my "Profile" under "Register Info" I see my correct e-mail address.
At that e-mail address I receive notifications successfully from some topics (like this) I've subscribe to.

Do I need to do something else?
