Iterate throw E-mail items in Outlook

Question

Hi Guys I'm new soo I don't really is this a good topic board (shouldn't I wrote on Office Interoperability?) but I think that my problem is so silly for someone who know's .NET and C# that I will try to ask:). The idea is that I must only iterate for every mail in Outlook 2007 inbox folder and those mail which passed my conditions I must moved to subfoler named Archive. This is only a few lines of code but even with this a have problem:( and the worst thing is that I need this to my work for tommorrow. My code work fine.....but only for 1 mail...and I dont't know why? For example I sent to my e-mail account set up in Outlook 3 mails which are consistend with my conditions (for example every 3 mails have no subject and they have only 1 attachment) and run my application in VS 2008 then I look in Outlook and I see that only one of those three mails have been moved If I run app next mail will be moved to Archive subfolder and like that....I don't know why he don't do this at once as I iterate using foreach? It's not logical for me:( This is my very small code: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application outlook = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application(); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.NameSpace names = outlook.GetNamespace(MAPI); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder odbiorcza = names.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder archive = names.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox).Folders[Archive]; if (odbiorcza.Items.Count > 0) { foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem mail in odbiorcza.Items) { if (mail.Subject == null || mail.Subject.StartsWith(WWY)) { MessageBox.Show(mail.SenderName.ToString()); if (mail.Attachments.Count == 1) { mail.Move(archive); } } } } I would be very gratefully for every advice and tip really! And sorry for my language but I'm just learning english Best Greets Michael

Hi Michal First add a reference to the Outlook COM object your project: In VS.NET right click on References and choose Add Reference. Select the COM tab Choose Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library (this is for MS Office 2003 - I think 10.0 is for Office XP) and click Select. Click OK. Note that you can access any Outlook/Exchange object types eg Appointments Notes Tasks Emails etc - just use intellisense to select which one (eg Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook. ... - see definition of variable called 'item' below). Here's the code: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application app = null; Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._NameSpace ns = null; Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.PostItem item = null; Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder inboxFolder = null; Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder subFolder = null; try { app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application(); ns = app.GetNamespace(MAPI); ns.Logon(nullnullfalse false); inboxFolder = ns.GetDefaultFolder(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox); subFolder = inboxFolder.Folders[MySubFolderName]; //folder.Folders[1]; also works Console.WriteLine(Folder Name: {0} EntryId: {1} subFolder.Name subFolder.EntryID); Console.WriteLine(Num Items: {0} subFolder.Items.Count.ToString()); for(int i=1;i { item = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.PostItem)subFolder.Items[i]; Console.WriteLine(Item: {0} i.ToString()); Console.WriteLine(Subject: {0} item.Subject); Console.WriteLine(Sent: {0} {1} item.SentOn.ToLongDateString() item.SentOn.ToLongTimeString()); Console.WriteLine(Categories: {0} item.Categories); Console.WriteLine(Body: {0} item.Body); Console.WriteLine(HTMLBody: {0} item.HTMLBody); } } catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); } finally { ns = null; app = null; inboxFolder = null; } For more info: http://www.programminghelp.com/programming/dotnet/access-your-email-within-outlook-final-part-c/
