Hi All

1)How to implement outlook's send and receive in a add-ins?

2)Also is it possible to do this outside outlook thru code? I need to
do this to read all the mails in outlook and to maintain a database in
a regular manner.. everytime if i do it thru add-ins it will take time
and the user will be annoyed.

1. What do you mean? Outlook is supposed to implement that, not an addin.
2. Again, I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do.

Hi Dmitry & All

I am trying to maintain a database of all the mails that comes in, so
that i can group and provide to user when he needs that, even if he
has deleted that mail.

for that if i do it thru add-ins then every time the user opens his
outlook, add-in will search thru new mails and maintain it.. But this
will take a lot of time if the user has many new mails. that's why i
am asking if i can do it outside outlook(as a service) so that the
user will not be annoyed everytime he opens his outlook..

My question is
1)how to maintain fresh mails if i need to do it thru add-ins?
2)How to do it if i need to do just outside outlook as a service?

Thanks
Anushya

Track the Application.NewMail or MAPIFolder.Items.ItemAdd (where MAPIFolder
pointsto the Inbox) event to record the incoming e-mails when Outlook is
open. On each startup, look at all unread e-mails that arrived after the
last time you performed the check to accout for the messages that arrived
when Outlook was closed.

Hello,

I just wonder why you don't use the Exchange archiving functionnality and
sort in and out message out of the band!
Or use an Exchange 2K event sink!

Sounds like you need an Exchange server.
