C# Outlook 2003 COM Add-in

[Tarran]

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out how to make a C# COM Add-in that runs whenever all
emails are sent - collects all receipent address then cross checks email
address with our customer database then futher processing applied.

I've already made an Outlook COM Add-in using C# which runs when the added
button is click however I am trying take it futher so runs after an email is
sent.

I'm thinking I can do this by adding a rule that runs a "Custom Action"
after all email is sent; however I don't know how to have my COM Add-in show
in the "Custom Action" list in outlook 2003.

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this either with custom action or
some-other way... I'm open to suggestions. Has anyone seen any tutorials or
examples.

All feedback is appreciated. Many Thanks
Tarran

The event you want to use is Application.ItemSend.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for your help - Thats exactly what I was after.

I added to a Event Handler to ItemSend and all working as planned.

However; How can I collect the To address from the email that was sent?

Many Thanks,
Tarran

The Recipients collection on each MailItem contains all the recipients. Check Recipient.Type to determine whether it was a To, Cc or Bcc.
