HOWTO find if message was sent.

[Sharon Baker]

I am using Outlook 2000. I have created a custom message
form. What I need to do is that once the message has been
sent, I want to add the message details (like message was
sent from... to... with subject...) to another custom
form. For this I have added code to the Item_Send event.
The problem is that incase there is a problem and the
message is not sent (the user does not have a SendAs
permission for eg.) the other form is still updated. Is
there a way to find out if the message was actually sent
or is there any event triggered after the message is sent?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

There is no 100% certain method, but you'll probably get the best possible results by checking the Sent Items folder.

Hello Sharon,
1.When a message was sent, it triggers the event ItemAdd
for Items of Sent Mails folder.
2. A MailIten has a Sent property. I think that this
property indicates whether a MailItem has already sent or
not. I never use this property so I'm not 100% sure about
its purpose. So please take a look at Outlook Object Model
documentation.
