Adding mails to outlook

[Nir]

Hi,

How can I add mails to Outlook's inbox programmatically?

When I try to use application.createItem(), it creates new message item. I would like to add mail which will look like regular message which have been received already.

TIA

You can sort of simulate a received email using Extended MAPI or a MAPI
wrapper such as Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption) but you can't
completely simulate everything unless you actually create and send an email.

I think Ken meant you can't simulate a received e-mail using OOM alone
(there are workarounds, but the message won't look 100% correct).
Extended MAPI and Redemption will let you create an e-mail that looks 100%
like it was received.
