Ok so redemption didn't solve my earlier problem for scaling with the 32K
message rule. If i create an outlook plugin that read the incoming messages and filtered them manually though it would. The only problem is and although not necessary i would like to do it in a way that would always be working behind the scenes. By this i mean if someone checked on their exchange box via webmail the add in would still be filtering mail at the server level. What options would i have to do this? Is this something i would have to create for exchange to act on a specific mailbox level or? Essentially i want to scan each incoming mail message's body field, find a specific line and if that line is found dissect it and move the message to a folder based on whats in this line. Simple enough just need the options i have to make it always run regardless of if the user is using webmail, mail from their mobile device or outlook 2007 to read mail. Thanks in advance. |

In a way, you already answered your own question: "the add in would still be
filtering mail at the server level" means that unless Outlook is running 24/7 on the user's desktop, any filtering application that goes beyond Outlook's capability for creating server-side rules would need to be implemented at the server level, i.e. as an Exchange application, not an Outlook add-in. That's a completely different type of application, with dependencies on the specific version of Exchange involved. Exchange documentation starts at http://msdn.microsoft.com/exchange/ with discussions in the microsoft.public.exchange.development newsgroup or in the web forum at http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/...=838&SiteID=17 .. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Christopher Long" wrote in message ...
