How to find a mailitem
 

Given a conversationindex and conversationtopic, how do I find a mailitem? I
have looked at Session.GetDefaultFolder(...).Items.Find but I do not see any
examples of how to construct the search string with these parameters.

Thank you,

The VBA help provides you with a sample. The easiest way is to select the
Find function in the object browser (f2) and then click f1.

I found the help page with shows "ConversationIndex" as a valid filter. When
I use it though, I get the exception "The property "ConversationIndex" in the
condition is not valid." Any ideas why?

My code looks like this:

string idx = ".....";
IOUT.Application app = (IOUT.Application)oApp;
IOUT.MAPIFolder f =
app.Session.GetDefaultFolder(IOUT.OlDefaultFolders .olFolderInbox);
string filter = string.Format("[ConversationIndex] = '{0}'",
idx);
object o = f.Items.Restrict(filter);

Please return to the help: There's a list on that page with invalid

How to find a mailitem
 

So perhaps I should rephrase my original question. I am capturing the
Item_Send event. In this event, I create a postitem in another folder in
which I add a userproperty that references the "to be sent" email. I need to
be able to quickly find this sent item later. Unfortunately, the EntryID is
not available at this time. What should I use to find the sent mailitem?
Any code examples?

You can add a UserProperty to the item and search for that. Just ensure once
that the folder (probably the Sent Items folder) also has that UserProperty.

You'd be better off using MAPIFolder.Items.ItemAdd event (where MAPIFolder
points to Sent Items) - it will fire after the message is sent and moved to
the Sent Items folder and the entry id will be valid later.
