Outlook 2000 Event Question - Can you help?

[Russell Mangel]

I am developing an Outlook Add-In for Outlook 2000(no Service Release)
I am using WorkGroup Mode, with one MAPI profile.

The Profile has two mailboxes, the default Exchange Mailbox for the "logged
on user", and another Exchange Mailbox (Shared between other users).

My Question:
How do I determine when the user starts a new email from inside the second
(Shared) Exchange mailbox?
How do I determine when the user replys to an existing email in the second
(Shared) Exchange mailbox?

I need to find an Outlook Event, that will help me determine which mailbox
the user started his or her action, so I can do the following things:
1. Change the MailItem From: Address to another Address from the GAL.
2. Move the sent message from the default mailbox "Sent Items" folder, to
the shared Mailbox's "Sent Items" folder.

I tried getting the StoreEntryID from the Folder object where the message is
sent from , but it seems always to return the default store EntryID each
time.
I thought I could just compare the StoreEntryID against the default
StoreEntryID and discover which mailbox the user is using, but no success.

Can some one help?

Thanks

I propouse use user parameter to mark mails and
OnFolderChange event to control items appearing.
I tryed OnItemsAdd event but it worked bad with
big selected lists

Hi Russel

can it be that UniSent and RightFrom utilities (http://www.ivasoft.biz) have
already implemented the functionality you are looking for?

I tried them both, Unisent will work, but RightFrom will not.
RightFrom, does not appear to allow you to select any address from
Exchange's GAL (Global Address List).
It just grabs the address for the shared mailbox, this will not work for us,
we need to specify a different
From: address for each person. Please correct me if I am wrong.

It appears that you are the developer of RightFrom/Unisent, would you
consider writing an add-in that would combine these two features together?
We would gladly pay reasonable price for the development project.

As you can see, we are trying to make a shared mailbox solution.
All you need to do is modify RightFrom so that we can put a specific,
address from Global Address List.
Whenever the person starts an email (or replys to one), originating in the
Shared Mailbox. The From
address will always be the same GAL address for each person, so maybe we
could store the address in a text file, or something so we can easily change
the From: address.

Our Environment:
Exchange 2000, and Outlook 2000 (no Service Releases), we must stay on this
version of Outlook.
