Deleting items in Outl2k2 and 16

[Vladimir Chtchetkine]

Is 16 a magic number for item deletion? I have a hook to Items events on
"Deleted Items" folder and its ItemAdd event is fired for every deleting
item except. Except if I'm deleting more than 16 items at the same time
(select 17 items and press "Delete"). In this case no ItemAdd is fired at
all. I just wander what is going on? I need to monitor item deletion and the
best place would be to hookup to ItemAdd event in "Deleted Items" folder.
Other methods (to the best of my knowledge) seem to be too expensive and /
or ambiguous.



TIA,



Vladimir

Extended MAPI events are a simple FYI *not* designed for any kind of
synchronization.
On the Extended MAPI level, if there are too many notifications (>16),
Exchange provider fires
TABLE_CHANGED notification instead of TABLE_ROW_MODIFIED used by the ItemAdd
event.
TABLE_CHANGED notification is not exposed by Outlook.

Thanks, Dmitry!

I've hooked up to FolderChanged event and that helps (a bit). Although, of
course, I would prefer much lover level of granularity. But hey, nobody
promised that life would be easy
