How to save message in the inbox into the same folder of another message shown on conversation

If I am using filter the inbox by date and using conversion view

the old messages under same conversation are already saved in a certain folder lets call it FFFF

and i can see on the inbox the folder name under the older messages

now i need to move the new message arrived into the same folder but i need to avoid

1- drag and drop from inbox pane to folder pane (i need to scroll and hover over all folders)

2- using the right click on message , then form the menu is select, move to other folder, then i start crolling from folder window

I prefer to select the new message (with out colder) and the older message (already in a folder)

and then click in something like

(Save in same folder) or

(merge in folder)

(move to same folder)

which does not exist under all commands or rules or any other way

I guess a Macro is the only way 

can you provide me with this macro

i can paste it and apply

Other descriptino to my problem

I always use the inbox in (conversation mode)

so new messages are inside the inbox , and old messages are in the other folders

I need to read the new message first, , rules here cannot work, since sender might change, or subject can be changed

after I read the new email, I will be able to see also the old email in the same view (with the folder name, where the other emails are saved) I need to have some way to drag and drop the new email into the folder without using the only way wich is moveto other folder and search inside long list of folders, or to search the folder first in thefolder pane, and drag and drop there (both ways takes time)

Possible solutions

  1. To have search window to search a folder

  2. To have something to show the folder name and can be used to drag and drop

  3. A command to (move in same folder) for group of emails some in (inbox) and at least one has got a folder

I am attaching some explanation on a snap

Best way for continuously searching for emails when in Outlook online mode

November 14, 2016, 4:11 am
$

Hi,

I'm hoping someone here has experience in this and knows of the pitfalls / best practices of searching for emails in Outlook.  The requirements for this are:

  • must be able to work in the background / not affect UI for the users
  • need to search all folders and sub-folders
  • search will being run every time user sends / receives email
  • need to be able to only return emails sent / received since previous search
  • must pass back EntryIDs of emails so these can be iterated over and data extract from the emails
  • must work with all versions of Exchange (including Exchange Online / Office 365)
  • must not affect Exchange server performance / user Outlook performance
  • must be able to handle 1000s of folders and 100,000s of emails

So far the options I have come across are:

AdvancedSearch (current method I use)

Pros

  • can be run in the background / has SearchComplete event
  • fast with large numbers of emails / folders / sub-folders
  • can return just EntryIDs so not too heavy

Cons

  • doesn't always fire SearchComplete event / just doesn't work
  • has performance issues when running in Outlook online mode (server CPU increase / Outlook slowdown)
  • relies on indexing of emails to be fast?

Items.Restrict

Pros

  • works well with large number of emails
  • might work better in online mode

Cons

  • can cause issues with Exchange since I've heard the server has a limit of the number of restrict queries it can run
  • not as easy to run in the background / untested whether affects Outlook performance

RDOFolderSynchronizer (Redemption)

Pros

  • is the same method Outlook uses to synchronise folder changes
  • can work in the background?
  • should be most accurate?

Cons

  • unknown how it affects performance of Outlook
  • need to manually iterate over all folders / sub-fodlers
  • need to persist and store sync hash
  • not sure whether hash works across multiple instances of Outlook for same user

So my question is, what would people recommend to better support when Outlook is in online mode?  Are there performance / known issues with any of these methods and ways to get around these?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

We have an Outlook add-in which checks for updates every time Outlook starts.

We also use Outlook in our application, we start Outlook by creating Outlook.Application (_oapp = new Outlook.Application();)

Now we have a new version of our add-in and what we notice is that when our application is the first to start Outlook, the automatic update of the add-in does not trigger. Is there a way to ensure this happens?

Hi,

How can I check whether the outlook is running in elevated mode from the C# code?

I saw Marshal.GetActiveObject("Outlook.Application") as an example. 

But in the following MSDN link, they say nothing about the privilege.So can I use this to check the privileges or is there any better way?

Code page problem for contacts import from GMAIL to Outlook 2010

November 16, 2016, 5:33 pm

Hello there,

I have encountered a problem when trying to import my contacts from GMail to Outlook.
The problem is aggravated by the fact that my contacts are primarily in Cyrrilic (Russian) code page.
It seems the problem has been touched by some people in discussions already:

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/uIwsghkxNks


So I've used some of those advises as guidance and changed the Display language in Google before carrying on with Export from Gmail.

Frankly, I have tried all 3 saving options available in GMAIL, including the vCards format. By doing so I have managed to export my contacts into Excel . But it appears that the problem with code pages is also present in Outlook itself. 

In order to simplify the task of demonstrating you the essence of my problem I recorded my actions in video.

The 1st link I suggest you watch is the following one:

https://youtu.be/6RSb2Dj10BM

My comments to the above link are as follows:

1. I show how I download the contact list from GMAIL and settings that I use

(in video I demostrate how I did it for Google CSV, but actually I also tried to do the same for vCard and CSV for Outlook)

2. Then I go to Outlook and try to upload the contact list there. The video shows the errors that Outlook produced while I tried to do it.
In the process Outlook hangs up as can be seen.

I tried a few different saving options in order to upload the file, but nonetheless it always resulted in smth non-Cyrrilic that I am unable to read (lots of question marks).

3. In the end of the video I demonstrate that changing the settings for Outlook default language leads to disappearance of the option for data import in Outlook.

Since the original file that I downloaded directly from Google seemed a little questionable, I decided to set the the test of my own and created a new simple file with a few fictional contact names. You can watch what I did in the 2nd shorter video:

https://youtu.be/kQS8b95iNts

As you can see the problem apparently stands with Outlook itself. Because it is just unable to read the symbol encoding correctly. The only contact name that it shows correctly is the one that was originally written in English symbols. 

This problem with Unicode characters has been also discussed on the following page

https://jaimonmathew.wordpress.com/2011/08/23/excel_addin_to_work_with_unicode_csv/

However the solution from the above link doesn't seem sufficient when it comes to importing the contact data in Outlook. Because Outlook seemingly doesn't support Unicode characters either. So the problem is much deeper, and even applications from the same Office pack cannot exchange the encoded data properly.

Hope this helps you to provide a better guidance for me to carry on with data import to Outlook. 

Thanks.

I'm trying to paste a string into an outlook mailitem at the insertion point of my cursor. The string is coming from a datagridview. I'm using C# from vs2015 and outlook O365. This is what I'm trying:

private void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            {
                // Paste To Outlook
                object oItem;
                Outlook.Application oApp = new Outlook.Application();
                //Outlook.Application oInsp = Inspector.CurrentItem();
                Outlook.Explorer oExp = oApp.ActiveExplorer();
                Outlook.Selection oSel = oExp.Selection;
                // the current row
                int rwindex = dataGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
                oWordApp.Selection.TypeText(dataGridView1.Rows[rwindex].Cells[0].Value.ToString());
                oWordApp.Selection.TypeText(dataGridView1.Rows[rwindex].Cells[1].Value.ToString());
                // the current column
                int colindex = dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex;
                for (int ARows = 0; ARows <= dataGridView1.RowCount; ARows++)
                {
                    oWordApp.Selection.TypeText(dataGridView1.Rows[ARows].Cells[colindex].Value.ToString());
                }
            }
        }

Of course this is not right, but I can't find information to help me figure it out. I modified the above code from where I'm pasting into a Word document from the datagridview, that part does work.

Rather than reply to all, I would like to have some sort of pop-up alert  to remind the sender before sending out an email.

I know there's some freeware to do this out there is there any official add-in from Microsoft or alternative for me to achieve this?

Any help to point me in the right direction is highly appreciated.
