You can update the UI and run the message pump (DoEvents) after moving each
message.

Thanks.

So are per my reply to Ken, how do I display a form to show progress
information of items being moved to another folder, and ensure that
progress is updated, if I cannot run the move process on another thread?

If I run the move process on the same thread as the form, the form will
become unresponsive

I'm using VB 2008

No, you need to marshal the OOM interfaces to the main Outlook thread.

Hi

I have an add-in that presents the user with a VB form. The form allows
the user to supply a filter for messages to move to an archive folder. I
want to provide feedback on the progress of the move process via a
progress bar. Can I safely use a backgroundworker to farm off the move
process and update the progress bar using the backgroundworker's
reportprogress method.

Basically, is moving items safe when executed from a backgroundworker ?

Cheers
