The key would be using the MAPIFolder.Items.ItemAdd event (well documented in Outlook Help and in many samples on the Internet) to detect the arrival of the item in the folder. Note, however, that the event would fire for all users running such an addin, not just for the user moving the item into the folder.

For more information on constructing COM add-ins, including samples, see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/comaddins.htm

Ookay, that looks nice! Thnx for reply!
And one more question
I have no MS Exchange server running and have Extended MAPI/OL2003.
And VC++ knowledge ))))
So, can i set permissions to users that will restrict access to
specific folders for specific users (or their groups) without Exchange
server? Maybe i need just read/ can't read permission or even
visible/invisible...

No, a user has complete access to all the folders in non-Exchange environment (unless you're using some third-party sharing tool with its own security mechanism).

Aha, and if I use such a tool, it will set permissions specifically for
outlook-like tools or globally with MAPI? Or i can't set that dirty
permissions for ALL mapi clients at all?
What u said is my goal - i mean creating that "3-rd party tool with its
own security mecanism", so i need to know if it will be able to set
permissions
"once and forever" ))))

There are no intrinsic permissions that you can set in Outlook to provide that capability in a mailbox or .pst file, since a user has full access to all their own folders. Any "permissions" would be restrictions imposed by the operation of such a tool, e.g. deleting new items the user puts in a particular folder or rolling back the user's changes. (Note that the Outlook model itself provides no way to prevent the user from deleting items. I'm not conversant in Extended MAPI's capabilities in that area.)

The obvious (theoretical) alternative is to use Extended MAPI to create your own custom information store.
