In short, does Outlook expose an event which can be subscribed to so as to intercept a user clicking theMove ribbon bar option?
I would like to ascertain the target folder and process the movement of the mail object in the same way as existing code does when the user drags and drops an email from, say, the Inbox to another folder in the TreeView.
I am developing with Outlook 2013 but would like any solution to be applicable to any version from 2007 onwards.
I'm developing outlook addin, and need to use makeEwsRequestAsync to create appointment in user's EWS. I tested in multiple combinations such as Mac/Windows, Chrome/Firefox, Office365/Exchange etc. However, only in Outlook 2016 for Windows + Exchange
Server 2013 account doesn't work.
Has anyone meet with this issue also? How can I solve this issue?
Thanks very much!
Hey guys,
I've been playing with the library in .NET and trying to review the MSDN help files for the iterop. I've found the Application.Reminders section and have debugged it, but it's really overwhelming. I seen examples on how to add reminders, appointments, etc. But what I'm trying to do is manipulate the Reminder window itself. Specifically when to bring it into focus and when not to. Can anyone point me in the right direction through these libraries or if it's possible through the interop libraries?
I have created an email form in Outlook to record the results of periodic audits performed in the factory. What I am trying to do now is create a command button on the form that will allow the recipient to one click and then send corrections to the audit to the audit team.
I am trying to use a CommandButton but I am struggling a little bit to find a code to make that work.
Basically, the supervisor will receive an email that says you had these discrepancies in our recent audit of your area. Please correct these discrepancies and then email the coordinator by clicking the button below.
Can someone help with this? If it is not a CommandButton I am okay with that but an alternative would be good as well. I am not a coder, but I can follow directions and I know how to get around the applications pretty well.
Thanks
Hi all together,
say is there a web service which you can use to get the "out of office" state of an user in Outlook (for example an AD user)?
If yes where can I find informations about it? Found nothing on the internet.
I no is there another way to get this state from an external source/application like SharePoint?
Best regards,
André

As a Outlook User I have a large amount of emails configured in my account and for portability and printing options I thought of converting my PST files into PDF but I didn't found any reliable solution for same. According to me it will be the best solution for keeping my selected emails in hard copy format and moving them from one place to another. All suggestions are welcomed and kindly provide me the apt solution for PST emails to PDF conversion.
Thanks in Advance to all!!!

Hello,
We develop an Outlook Add-in which processes mail items and saves the modified items afterwards. Now, we came across a strange problem with Exchange accounts: all processed mail items in the inbox are flagged as drafts - but only in the Outlook Web App,
NOT in Outlook itself.
Checking the items with MFCMAPI, we could determine that no draft flag is actually set in the mail item itself.
Any idea, how the web app determines whether an item should be handled as draft or not? We only see this problem when the client uses Outlook 2010/2013/2016 through Exchange. With IMAP, this doesn't happen.
Thank you in advance!
I have an Outlook add-in which makes some changes to the Outlook mail item and saves the changes afterwards.
My problem is that if I use an ActiveSync account, those changes won't get synced back to the server. Therefore, the mail items are different in the Outlook app and the web app.
Does anybody know more about the ActiveSync synchronisation procedure or why my changes aren't sent to the server correctly?

Dear friends
Recently my custom form started acting up. Not sure what happened, but the font in date fields automatically change to a bigger size and instead of appearing, also as set, in the format dd-mm-yyyy, it shows like: wed, 14--10-2016
Any idea what might be causing this?
The date fields are set as font size 8, dd-mm-yyyy - 12-Oct-2016
After publishing the form, it resets and shows font size 12, and different format - Tue, 12-Oct-16
Really apriciate you help
Thanks in advance
Here is what I have written so far. The problem is I have multiple subfolders that I am unable to get outlook to move those emails into the same subfolders in the destination. How do I edit my VBA to allow the copy and creation of the subfolders?
Sub CopyMail()
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim objSourceFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim objDestFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim objVariant As Variant
Dim lngCopyItems As Long
Dim intCount As Integer
Dim intDateDiff As Integer
Dim strDestFolder As String
Set objOutlook = Application
Set objNamespace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objSourceFolder = objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set objDestFolder = objNamespace.Folders("email address").Folders("Over 90 Days")
For intCount = objSourceFolder.Items.Count To 1 Step -1
Set objVariant = objSourceFolder.Items.Item(intCount)
DoEvents
If objVariant.Class = olMail Then
intDateDiff = DateDiff("d", objVariant.ReceivedTime, Now)
If intDateDiff > 90 Then
objVariant.Move objDestFolder
lngCopyItems = lngMovedItems + 1
End If
End If
Next
MsgBox "Copy " & lngCopyItems & " messages(s)."
Set objDestFolder = Nothing
End Sub

What we want is to have an automatic field that records the date in wich the check is done.

Previously, I had used a MAPI Outlook account and was able to create multiple categories associated with contacts in Outlook and have them synchronized across several clients. That went away when I was upgraded to ESA, which does not support category synchronization. I had been waiting for the upgrade of my account to Microsoft Exchange as it had been posted that "Categories" would now be synchronized. I had kept one of my Outlook clients as a MAPI protocol with my categories intact but not synchronized. When I was updated to Microsoft Exchange the categories were not included during this upgrade. I now want to use Outlook VBA to transfer these categories from a PST export of a former backup when my client account was still MAPI and the categories were specified for each contact. I have been able to see the various Microsoft Exchange accounts (I have six different MS Exchange accounts in this client) using VBA and have been able to see individual contact items within the default account. I have opened the PST file in this client and can see the contacts with the category information. My problem now is how to select a specific account (not the default account) and to then select the category information from the Outlook data file and put this information into the selected account. I have been unable to find any code examples to solve this problem. I'm not a professional programmer and know just enough to do some trial and error. Normally, I get a lot of help with the Macro recorders in the other Office applications, but this capability is missing in Outlook.
Thanks in advance,

Hi guys.
Our software crew would like to make an app which would at the end produce a meeting request for Outlook users.
Maybe a little bit dumb question: "Do you perhaps know what kind of SDK can they use, or what are the requirements to create a calendar request"?
With best regards

Hi All
I have some code that save attachments from an email to a local drive and pastes the location of the attachments at the top of the email body as plain text. I have been looking for solution that will paste the locations as hyperlinks rather than plain text but have failed miserably. Can anyone help.advise on how I change the code so I past the path as a hyperlink.
In addition is there anyway of ignoring signature block attachments as I don't need to save those. My current code is below for information.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Public Sub SaveAttachments()
Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim pobjMsg As Outlook.mailItem 'Object

strFolderpath = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders(16)
On Error Resume Next
' Instantiate an Outlook Application object.
Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
' Get the collection of selected objects.
Set objSelection = objOL.ActiveExplorer.Selection
For Each pobjMsg In objSelection
SaveAttachments_Parameter pobjMsg
Next
ExitSub:
Set pobjMsg = Nothing
Set objSelection = Nothing
Set objOL = Nothing
MsgBox ("Attachment(s) have been saved to the Customer EDD Drive......")

If lngCount > 0 Then
' We need to use a count down loop for removing items

Hi
We are doing the holiday request system in C# and Sqlserver.

I had developed a VSTO plugin and had handled ItemAdd event of Outlook folders viz. Inbox, Outbox, and SentItems. So whenever for new MailItem we click onItemSend it doesn't get Sent, it's deposited to Outbox folder only. And if I skip handling ItemAdd event of Outbox folder then it works fine.
Can anyone please help.
Regards.
