recognise MailItem

[Rainer Merklein]

Hi,

i use the following structure to run through all my mails in my OL2003
inbox.

*************************************************************
Set myInbox = myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myitems = myInbox.Items

For Each myitem In myitems
...
...
????????
...
next myitem
*************************************************************

With which command in the loop can I recognise, that the Item in myItm
is an MailItem and not another Item like (meeting inquiry e.g.).

Is there a command "if isMailitem(myitem) then " available?

Thank you.
Best regards
Rainer

You can either use TypeName(myItem) or myItem.Class.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming
issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web
