Bypassing Outlook's Outbox (or creating a custom outbox)
Here's my problem: When the user creates a new email (or forwards, replies,
etc), I want the email to go to my MAPIFolder instead of Outbox. When I try to do this at Application_ItemSend by Item.Move(), I'm getting the mail deleted or moved error for obvious reasons. Note that I don't want Outlook to send the emails, I want to handle that myself. So SaveSentMessageFolder doesn't help. If only there was a OutboxFolder member of the MailItem class!  Any ideas how I could achieve this? Ekin

Bypassing Outlook's Outbox (or creating a custom outbox)
Please clarify what you're trying to accomplish. The Outbox is only a temporary holding area for messages that have not been delivered to the downstream server.
Also, why are you creating messages in the first place if you don't want Outlook to send them? -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Ekin" wrote in message ...

Bypassing Outlook's Outbox (or creating a custom outbox)
I'm trying to move the mail item to a temporary folder (myOutbox), process it
(which may take up to 10-20 seconds), and pass it back to Outlook's default Outbox. See my ItemSend below. Private Sub ThisApplication_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, ByRef Cancel As Boolean) Handles Me.ItemSend If (Item.Parent.EntryID = _outlookOutbox.EntryID) OrElse _ (Item.Parent.EntryID = _myOutbox.EntryID) Then Cancel = False Else Item.Move(_myOutbox) Cancel = True End If End Sub I also tried to do the same with Inspectors but got the same "The item has been moved or deleted" error.

Oh, the Item is moved correctly and the rest of my code works as it should.
So it's just a matter of avoiding the nasty Outlook error...

Bypassing Outlook's Outbox (or creating a custom outbox)
You can always use On Error Resume Next to suppress most error messages.

Bypassing Outlook's Outbox (or creating a custom outbox)
Thank you, Sue, but that didn't work.
When I debug in VS and follow the ThisApplication_ItemSend through line by line, I can get to End Sub without any errors; when I hit F10 on End Sub, the annoying "The item has been moved or deleted" message is thrown by Outlook --VS Interop isn't even aware of it! So as far as VB is concerned, there is no error. Problem remains...
