You are right Ken.

The deleted items remain in the Exception collection and have the deleted
property set to true and the Appointment set to null.

The Exception collection contains both modified and deleted items.

With these knowledge, I am still not able to identify which item is being
modified or deleted, and what operation (modification or deletion) is
performed? And worse yet, does the operation apply on the entire series or
just single occurrence?

The Appointment.EntryId is used for the entire series.
NO properties of the Exception object is useful.

I can't repro this.

If I change the start time of an item in a recurring series it is in
Exceptions, but it does not show Deleted == true.

I set up a series of appointments, 10 in all, and deleted the first 3. I
then modified another instance for start time. In Exceptions I had 3
marked as Deleted == true, 1 as Deleted == false, exactly what I would
have expected.

Symptom:
When deleting an entire appointment series, the ItemRemove event always
fires. - That is correct.

When deleting the 1st item from a recurring appointment series, the
ItemRemove event does fire. - That is correct.

However, when deleting the other items (2nd to the last) from a recurring
appointment series, the ItemRemove event does not fire. Instead,
ItemChange event is fired. It does not matter if the 1st item has been
removed or not.

Question:
In ItemChange event handler, how to detect that the event is actually an
ItemRemove, not ItemChange?

In the Outlook.RecurrencePattern.Exception collection, the Deleted
property is true for all objects in it, when doing delete and update.
Can't see difference between delete and update. What are the real
flags/identifiers?
