"Can't move the items" When using Advanced Find

[seanp]

Hi,

I have developed a COM Add-in for Outlook 2002 in C# using the
IDTExtensibility2 interface. It works pretty well except when users try to
move mailitems from the advanced find window (or when they use "find" on a
folder) to another folder. When they do this they get an error message
saying "Can't move the items". The users can work around this by right
clicking and then selecting "Move to folder", but I would like to know if
there is any way I can get around this by changing my add-in.

I did find this MSKB article which confirmed the problem, but it didn't
really help much:

So it looks like my add-in is causing "A conflict", but I have no idea why...

Cheers

Are you maintaining references to any of the items that might be
moved/copied? If so that's the conflict right there. You'd have to release
all those references to avoid the conflict.

Just an update from my problem which sounds similiar.
Thanks so Ken and Dmitry's guidance I have solved the deleted items problem
It definately was items being held in memory.
The point where I found where my items were being held in memory was
when I use the InspectorWrapper. On close of the inspector I was not
releasing the items from memory.
Thanks guys.
