Read/Compose MailItem

[dorutzu]

Hi,

I would like to generate from my Outlook add-in some mailitems in a
certain folder to simulate that these e-mails were received by the
user. It all works fine, but there is one problem - these mailitems
look like they are ready to send, not received. When opening the
mailitem, in the inspector you get the 'Compose page', not the 'Read
page'. I hope I was clear enough so you can understand me. I think all
I'm missing is a property, but I cannot find it. Any help would me
highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Doru

Create olPostItem instead of olMailItem, then change the MessageClass
property to "IPM.Note".
You might still have a wrong icon, to reset it you'd need Extended
