Moving messages to "Deleted Items" folder

[Gabriel]

Hi, back with another newbie question. I'm writing an add-in for Outlook 2003
in VC++. I'm trying to move a message I've accessed by using the
Explorer->get_Selection method to the "Deleted Items" folder, but I'm running
into trouble. *Part* (hopefully all?) of the problem is I don't know what the
first parameter for GetNamespace is supposed to be (I just have a placeholder
there. Here's what I tried:

CComPtr <Outlook::_NameSpace> spNamespace;

CComPtr <Outlook::MAPIFolder> spFolder;

// Need to know what to pass for first parameter:

m_spApp->GetNamespace((unsigned short*)1, &spNamespace);

if (spNamespace == NULL)

MessageBox(NULL,"No Namespace","Namespace",MB_OK);

spNamespace->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDeletedItems, &spFolder);




dispItem = NULL;

mailPtr2->Move(spFolder,&dispItem);

(mailPtr2 is a mail item pointer and is getting set correctly.) Outlook
crashes at the GetNamespace call. Other than that, does my reasoning look
sound? Let me know if I can provide more info.

Thanks in advance!

Pass "MAPI" as the parameter when calling Application.getNamspace. Yopu can
also use Application.Session.
Calling MailItem.Delete will move it to theDeleted Items folder.

Thanks Dmitry!

Nice to see I was making it more complicated than it needed to be (as
usual). That sorted me right out!
