Setting a MAPI property of type PT_SYSTIME

[Tobias Böhm]

Hello,

I'm trying to set the MAPI property PR_MESSAGE_DELIVERY_TIME of a
PostItem because I can't manage to set the "Received Date" on the
Outlook-Object. So I create the PostItem item, get a MapiItem from
that, close the initial PostItem (I heard it would reset any dates
when the item is still open) and set the property.

But I can't manage to set a proper date. The line looks like that:
mapiItem.SetProperty(0x0E060040, dateTimeValue);

I tried passing the DateTime object, a date/time string in various
formats but every time some date gets set that's either way in the
future (01.01.3702) or way in the past (01.01.1601).

Any hints on how to set the date properly?

Thanks,
Tobias

think it might be more suitable here)

I'd first ask some of the same questions that you were asked on the Add-In
Express forum that were never answered.

What version of Outlook and what is mapiItem? Is it an Outlook 2007
PropertyAccessor, an Extended MAPI object, a Redemption object or what?

If this was a Redemption RDOMail object (or the RDOPost item derived from
RDOMail) I have no problem changing PR_MESSAGE_DELIVERY_TIME like this (VBA
code):

oMail.Fields(PR_MESSAGE_DELIVERY_TIME) = CDate("8/17/2009 11:00 AM")

Hi Tobias,

This is how I set the time using extended mapi

Outlook::_NameSpacePtr spNameSpace = sp->GetSession();
IUnknownPtr pUnk = sp->GetMAPIOBJECT();
CComQIPtr<IMessage, &IID_IMessage> spMessage(pUnk);
long lUTC = 0L;
time(&lUTC);

SPropValue prop;
UnixTimeToFileTime(lUTC, &(prop.Value.ft));

prop.ulPropTag = PR_MESSAGE_DELIVERY_TIME;
hr = HrSetOneProp((LPMAPIPROP)(IUnknown*)spMessage, &prop );

Regards,
Tom

Well, sorry, both your messages are new to me.
It is Outlook 2003 & 2007 and I'm using Extended MAPI.

If you're using Extended MAPI then see Tom's answer, that should work.
