Writing to Outlook Object

[Anthony Yio]

Hello,

I am not sure if my question make sense to you all, if there are better
approaches than this.
How do I write extra information into MAPIFolder objects, outlook items like
Task Item, Notes item, Contact Item and etc ,which eventually will be saved
into the *.PST file. I need to somehow place in a ID for each of these
items.

I found this MAPIFolder - Description property in the Outlook Reference but
I found that this description property could be changed by the user in the
Outlook itself which is unacceptable in my case. I need the property to be
inaccessible from the user but accessible throught the VBA. Also, the
description property is only for MAPIFolder object, I need to place into
outlook items as well.

Any suggestions?

thank you

See MailItem.UserProperties collection (also available on other Outlook
items, e.g. ContactItem, but not on MAPIFolder).
