Hi Ken,

I was under the impression the EntryID can change. I need the ID that was
assigned to the message when it was sent.

There is a MessageID in the internet headers, but will that be present in a
message sent via Exchange ?

Cheers,

Phil.

I think what you want is the EntryID of the item, which is accessible from
the Outlook object model or from other API's like CDO 1.21 or Extended MAPI.

Hi,

I need to track messages in a database, but be able to handle the same
message being sent to multiple recipients (within an Exchange
environment).

I know that all messages sent to multiple recipients will have the same
MessageID value, but I can find no information as to how to retrieve it.

What I'm planning is that when a message is opened, an AddIn will check
whether the message has already been handled and if not, store info in a
database (simplistic view). When another user reads the same message, I
need
to be able to detect that it's already been handled.

Thanks for any help,

Phil.
