Saving the mail in sent items without actually sending the mail.

Hi all

i would like to save a copy of a dummy mail which i create in code to
the SentItems folder. i dont want to actually send it. i saw it
working in the LinkedIn Toolbar for outlook while sending invitations
to contacts. They dont sent the mail using outlook rather some web
service but they manage to save a copy into sent items folder. How do
i reproduce something like this. Any sample code or link would be
greatly appreciated.

thanks

Joe Augustine

Get a reference to the Sent Items MAPIFolder object (GetDefaultFolder method
of NameSpace object, olFolderSentMail as the argument value), then get a
reference to the Items collection (property of MAPIFolder) and use its Add
method to create the email item directly in Sent Items. Or if the item
already exists in another folder, call the item object's Copy or Move method
(both of which accept the destination MAPIFolder as an argument.)
