I want to change the envelope icon for a particular mail in the inbox when a
new mail arrives in the Inbox of a mailbox according to some conditions in
the MIME header. How to change the envelope icon to some other icon? Should i
use the COM addin with VC++/ATL (i'm doing in vc++) for doing this?
Also how to create my own buttons in the mail (that is in the page which
opens when we click the envelope icon)?

Thanks a lotz in Advance

Hi Melbin,
As much as I know you cannot change the envelope icon for messages.
You can highlight your messages from different senders in different colors
by creating a rule for that.
As for the second part of your question, I don't understand what you mean.

Hai,
ok..Thanks..But then i have to highlight the message from different
senders in different colors programatically. How to do that?
Also the second question i asked is that - when we are clicking the
envelope icon of a mail then a form will open and then in that we can read
the mail.I want to create my own form.How to do that?
i read that there is the NewInspector event that is fired when a form
opens. But which is the interface that gives this particular event? I am
trying to do in vc++ (ATL com dll).
Also i read that IMimeMessage::SetTextBody Method can be used to change
the message body. Or some other way is there to do that?
Also i read that i have to register the com addin with the outlook for
doing the modifications to the outlook.is it correct?

Hi Melbin,
To highlight messages from different senders in different colors,
Open Outlook
Inbox
Organize
Click Using colors
At Color messages from ( select sender ) in (choose color using the drop
down arrow) and click APPLY.
Repeat this for different senders and colors.
As to changing the format for opening received messages.
The format for incoming messages is set by the sender and you can
not change it.
For new messages you create you can choose a stationary.
Click “Actionsâ€
“New message usingâ€
“More stationary†and than choose one from the menu.
To set a default stationary you want to use for your messages,
Open Word
Tools
Options
General tap
E-mail options button
Personal stationary tap
Make your choices for theme and fonts and click OK.
Rgrds,

Thanks....but what you have told is how to do it manually. I want to do it
programatically using vc++. How is it done programatically?

Color highlighting in a table view is controlled by the user's automatic formatting settings, which cannot be configured programmatically.
