Thank you. I see. Let's do the following changes:
- don't release oMailItem; this was a mistake; still this doesn't influence the issue
- check oMailItem.Saved and only if it returns true, save the item; otherwise, do not save.
Public Overrides Sub ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object, ByVal SourceFolder As Object)
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd")
Dim oMailItem As Outlook.MailItem = CType(Item, Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oProps As Outlook.UserProperties
Dim oProp As Outlook.UserProperty
oProps = oMailItem.UserProperties
oProp = oProps.Find("MyTestProperty")
If oProp Is Nothing Then
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. UP not found")
oProp = oProps.Add("MyTestProperty", Outlook.OlUserPropertyType.olText)
End If
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oProp)
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oProps)
If Not oMailItem.Saved Then
oMailItem.Save()
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. email saved.")
End If
End Sub
BTW, do you check the debug messages? The change above is made to handle several ItemAdd events occurring for the same item.

Hello Andrei,
I took your code and expanded on it a little bit:
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd")
Dim bAlreadyThere As Boolean = False
Dim oMailItem As Outlook.MailItem = CType(Item, Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oProps As Outlook.UserProperties
Dim oProp As Outlook.UserProperty
oProps = oMailItem.UserProperties
oProp = oProps.Find("SentItemChecked")
If oProp Is Nothing Then
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. UP not found")
oProp = oProps.Add("SentItemChecked", Outlook.OlUserPropertyType.olText)
Else
bAlreadyThere = True
End If
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oProp)
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oProps)
If Not oMailItem.Saved Then
If Not bAlreadyThere Then
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. New Property added and Mailitem not Saved so this should be all good.")
oMailItem.Save()
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. email saved.")
Else
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. Mail flagged as ""Not Saved"" even though we added no new properties!?!?!?")
End If
Else
If Not bAlreadyThere Then
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. Mail flagged as already saved even though we added a new Property!?!?!?")
Else
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. Property is already there and Mailitem is already Saved so this should be all good.")
End If
End If
I sent 4 messages. This is the Debug output:
!!! ItemAdd
!!! ItemAdd. UP not found
!!! ItemAdd. New Property added and Mailitem not Saved so this should be all good.
!!! ItemAdd. email saved.
!!! ItemAdd
!!! ItemAdd. UP not found
!!! ItemAdd. New Property added and Mailitem not Saved so this should be all good.
!!! ItemAdd. email saved.
!!! ItemAdd
!!! ItemAdd. UP not found
!!! ItemAdd. New Property added and Mailitem not Saved so this should be all good.
!!! ItemAdd. email saved.
!!! ItemAdd
!!! ItemAdd. UP not found
!!! ItemAdd. New Property added and Mailitem not Saved so this should be all good.
!!! ItemAdd. email saved.
But it still shows that line at the top of sent emails |

Here's something else that's rather intriguing....
The message is shown at the top of the four emails I sent. Then I exit from Outlook and I start Outlook again. When I then open each e-mail, the message is no longer there. |

And I am wrong. Immediately after starting Outlook the message wasn't displayed. But I checked again a few minutes later.... and it's back. |

Oh my word... I'm so sorry Andrei .... Ignore my last couple of comments. I was mixing up my Inbox and my Sent Items folder. Can happen when you test software by sending emails to yourself *grin*
No... Restarting Outlook makes no difference. The "This is the most recent version" message is already there immediately after restarting outlook.
So please ignore the two comments I sent *after* the one in which I posted the Debug output. They were mistaken. |

Ok Andrei.... "the plot thickens"
I switched to an Outlook Profile with Cached Exchange Mode switched *off*. This led to some very interesting new issues.
Referring back to my comment of Posted 14 Oct, 2019 07:35:31
The statement oMailItem.Save() would sometimes - ONLY sometimes - fail:
"An exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in MyAddin136.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: The function cannot be performed because the message has been changed."
While stopped at that statement I tried to run the following command from the Immediate Window
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oMailItem)
This led to
"Managed Debugging Assistant 'RaceOnRCWCleanup' has detected a problem in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OUTLOOK.EXE'.
Additional Information: An attempt has been made to free an RCW that is in use. The RCW is in use on the active thread or another thread. Attempting to free an in-use RCW can cause corruption or data loss."
When I try the statement a second time, no error is raised
Before executing Marshal.ReleaseComObject I had done
?oMailItem.EntryID which gave me an Entry ID for the message, so now I tried:
oMailItem = DirectCast(AddinModule.CurrentInstance().HostApplication, Outlook.Application).GetNamespace("MAPI").GetItemFromID(....
This gives me a new oMailItem object. I then go through the steps again, and I find that now the .Find succeeds. And oMailItem.Saved is *False*.
Interesting. |

Ok - I thought I saw a topic on this forum once where a similar issue was resolved by using a "wait a while" method or something like that?
So in light of that vague memory I added a bit of code to your sample, Andrei - in the ItemAdd I simply take note of the Entry ID (I took Option Strict off, by the way)
Public Overrides Sub ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object, ByVal SourceFolder As Object)
Dim sEntryID As String = String.Empty
Try
sEntryID = Item.EntryID
Catch
End Try
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(sEntryID) Then
Dim oFoo As System.Windows.Forms.Timer
oFoo = New Timer
oFoo.Interval = 20000
oFoo.Tag = sEntryID
AddHandler oFoo.Tick, AddressOf FooTimer_Tick
oFoo.Start()
End If
'Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oMailItem)
End Sub
The code that was originally in the ItemAdd I moved to the Tick event handler
Private Shared Sub FooTimer_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim oTimer As Windows.Forms.Timer = Nothing
Dim sEntryID As String
oTimer = TryCast(sender, Windows.Forms.Timer)
If Not oTimer Is Nothing Then
oTimer.Stop()
Try
sEntryID = oTimer.Tag
Catch
End Try
oTimer.Dispose()
oTimer = Nothing
End If
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(sEntryID) Then
Dim oMailitem As Object = Nothing
Try
oMailitem = DirectCast(AddinModule.CurrentInstance().HostApplication, Outlook.Application).GetNamespace("MAPI").GetItemFromID(sEntryID)
Catch
End Try
If Not oMailitem Is Nothing Then
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd")
Dim bAlreadyThere As Boolean = False
Dim oProps As Outlook.UserProperties
Dim oProp As Outlook.UserProperty
oProps = oMailitem.UserProperties
oProp = oProps.Find("SentItemChecked")
If oProp Is Nothing Then
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. UP not found")
oProp = oProps.Add("SentItemChecked", Outlook.OlUserPropertyType.olText)
Else
bAlreadyThere = True
End If
If Not oProp Is Nothing Then
oProp.Value = "2"
End If
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oProp)
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oProps)
If Not oMailitem.Saved Then
If Not bAlreadyThere Then
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. New Property added and Mailitem not Saved so this should be all good.")
oMailitem.Save()
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. email saved.")
Else
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. Mail flagged as ""Not Saved"" even though we added no new properties!?!?!?")
End If
Else
If Not bAlreadyThere Then
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. Mail flagged as already saved even though we added a new Property!?!?!?")
Else
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("!!! ItemAdd. Property is already there and Mailitem is already Saved so this should be all good.")
End If
'Dim oMailItemCopy As Outlook.MailItem = DirectCast(oMailItem.Copy, Outlook.MailItem)
'oMailItem.Delete()
'Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oMailItem)
'DeleteDeletedItem()
'oMailItem = oMailItemCopy
End If
'If Not oMailitem.Saved Then
' Try
' oMailitem.Save()
' Catch ex As Exception
' End Try
'End If
Try
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oMailitem)
Catch
End Try
oMailitem = Nothing
End If
End If
End Sub
The good news is that everything seems to be working perfectly after that. The bad news is that our clients are so trigger happy that they are quite likely to be clicking on Sent Items before the 20 seconds are up. They also expect a dialog giving them various options to handle a Sent Item immediately after sending so if this is delayed as it is in this example, they will be screaming at us. So this would not be an acceptable solution. Not sure where that leaves me as a developer. |
