Default How to add an userpropertie to an email folder?

Hmmmm....that is a nice idea, but...

Sub TestUserProperty()

Dim strFilter As String

strFilter = "[MyTestProperty] """""

Debug.Print
Outlook.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder.Items.Restric t(strFilter).Count

End Sub

Says that this property does not exists. In the fields selector in
Outlook it is not present but with RDO I can access the created field.

You can use Redemption ot add user fields to a folder - it does not try to
be "smart" and you do not need to create a dummy message just to add a
field:

set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
Session.MAPIOBJECT = Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT
set Folder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("t est")
set FolderFields = Folder.FolderFields
set Field = FolderFields.Add("MyTestProperty", olText)
FolderFields.Save

Hmm, I`m sorry, but this does not work:

Sub AddUserProperty()

Dim objInBox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim objFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem

Set objInBox = Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

Set objFolder = objInBox.Folders("test")

Set objMail = objInBox.Items.Add(objFolder.DefaultMessageClass)
Set objMail = objMail.Move(objFolder)
Call objMail.UserProperties.Add("MyTestProperty", olText)

End Sub

There is no UserProperty "MyTestProperty" in the subfolder "test".

As you have already noticed, the new item will be created in the Drafts
folder, you need to explicitly move the item to the target folder:


Set objMail = objInBox .Items.Add(objFolder.DefaultMessageClass)
set objMail = objMail.Move(objFolder)
Call objMail.UserProperties.Add("MyTestProperty", olText)

Thanks for your answer, Dmitry.


I try this code to add the userproperty and I now found out, that it
does not works with subfolders:


Sub AddUserProperty()


Dim objInBox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim objFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem


Set objInBox = Outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)


Set objFolder = objInBox.Folders("test")


Set objMail = objFolder.Items.Add(objFolder.DefaultMessageClass)


Call objMail.UserProperties.Add("MyTestProperty", olText)


objMail.Delete


End Sub

Do you use the new item returned by the MailItem.Move method or the old
one
to add a folder property?

Hi Michael,


I cannot add an item to a specified email folder, it will always
created on the folder which is set for new items (normally the drafts
folder). And moving from this folder to the destination folder and
then adding an userproperty will not work :-(

Peter, create an item in that folder (Items.Add). The
UserPropteries.Add
function supports you with the AddToFolderFields property. When that's
done
you can delete the item, the UserProperty remains in the folder.

Hello,


I tried several things but nothing works (create or add an item to
the
default drafts folder, move the item to the destination folder
(dereferencing the item) and then add the userproperty).


The only way to add an userproperty to an email folder is to select
an
existing item in the destination folder and then add the
userproperty.


Does anybody has a solution for this problem?


Thanks in advance.


Peter
