Re: get a sent mail ID

That's about the only way if you're using CDO, which has no events. If you
also are using Outlook object model code just handle the ItemAdd event on
the Items collection of the Sent Items folder.

PR_RECORD_KEY can be used although it's not an exact match for the EntryID.
I believe the first 20 bytes represent the short term EntryID of the item.

You can't change how Outlook does sending. However, you should be able to
trap ItemAdd on Sent Items with no problems, I do that all the time. The
item won't be added there until the item is actually sent out of course. An
event handler lets you not worry about when something is added, it fires
when the item is added no matter when.

You will need an object variable that handles events for that folder that
will remain in scope throughout the life of your application. If using .NET
code you have to avoid the garbage collector removing your folder object,
items collection and event handler.
