COM question on Outlook.

[Semut]

Hello,

Below are my codes,

LPDISPATCH lp = getFromSomewhere();
CComQIPtr < Outlook::_MailItem > spMail(lp);
spMail->Delete();

Do I need to call the lp->Release(); ? But the Outlook has already
deleted the item.

Yes. Outlook has deleted the MAPI message, but the OOM COM wrapper (spMail)
is still alive, even if it is no longer backed up by a physical MAPI
message.
