detect if a mail is read in a public folder
Hi, I need to send alarms as emails to a public folder and I need to be able to verify that the email has been read/opened after it has been submitted to the public folder. There is a flag on a email message that is called IsRead but that is user specific and will thus not help in this case. greatly appreciate any help rendered Cheers Gudmundur -- Gudmundur http://forums.slipstick.com

Use a custom form and put code in the item's Item_Read and/or Item_Open
event handler to put information in some custom field to give you the status report you need. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Gudmundur" Gudmundur.41p3v3@invalid wrote in message news:Gudmundur.41p3v3@invalid...

Or you can turn off per-user read/unread state for the PF store.

I can use a custom form based on IPM.post ...but then the event handler item_read() only kicks in when posting and does nothing for emails opened in the public folder ....is there anyway of making ipm.note custom form to work with public folder ? or if not can a custom form assigned to a public folder somehow target emails instead of posts ? item_read() targeting emails instead of the posts in the public folder .. I have tried disabling as well per user reads but that turns of user reads for all items in the public folder, that is all items remain in the unread state, no matter if they have been read or not Really appreciate any help that can guide me in the right direction here...

Publish the form to the Organizational Forms library and use the custom form
to create the "alarms" (whatever that means). -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Gudmundur" Gudmundur.42jb7m@invalid wrote in message news:Gudmundur.42jb7m@invalid...

With the custom form I can post into one public folder at a time and everyting works fine when I do so...but it would take to long time to do so 30 times for each public folder .....or am I missing something from the picture ? -- Gudmundur http://forums.slipstick.com

Huh? I don't understand how that relates to the original objective of
verifying that an item in a folder has been read. Nothing about a custom message form would prevent you from using a DL to send it to multiple public folders. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Gudmundur" Gudmundur.42u0uy@invalid wrote in message news:Gudmundur.42u0uy@invalid...

Hi Sue, if i post to the Public Folder with the custom form, and then open the item I posted then the event Sub item_open() triggers. On ther other hand if I use a DL to send an email to the same Public Folder with the custom form, and then open the item I emailed then the event Sub item_open() does unfortunately not trigger. That is the heart of the matter Cheers Gudmundur -- Gudmundur http://forums.slipstick.com
