Distinguish between an send and received mail item

Hi.

I created two buttons in the Inspector, one for items received and one for items sent (So I can dertermine if the e-mail address is a received address or sent address)

Then I'll make the correct button visible in a sub that Handles MyBase.OlInspectorActivate

I can't use the item.sent property, because it determines if its at new item that is not sent. All received items is also marked as "sent".

Thanks

Hi

My idea would be to test the item.RecievedByName which would be populated if you have recieved it and null if it was sent out by yourself.

This is only true for your mailbox though if you are working with exchange public folders it is different.

There maybe a better way of doing this though.

Hi Erik.

I am afraid there is no universal solution for this. The most simple way to work out this issue is to get the default folder name for "sent" items ( Outlook._NameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderSentMail) ) and extract the full name for this folder. Then you can use this full folder name to determine (in the InspectorActivate event handler) if your current inspector has been opened from the "Sent Items" folder (or subfolder) or not.

Sergey,

thanks, but I can't figure out to use Outlook._NameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderSentMail)

I can dot me to Outlook._Namespace, but then there is no methods at all. And how do I get the folder that opened the inspector?

Thanks a lot :-)
