I need to programmatically put sent items into a specified folder. According to my tests and a few knowledgebase articles I could find, doing so by simply setting MailItem.SaveSentMessageFolder will only work with OL2003. Earlier versions will produce an error (I could confirm this for OL2000, which is what I'm working against now). Thus, I settled for scanning the Sent Items folder at an interval after having sent the message I want to move and then programmatically move it to its correct destination. In order to minimize the time taken by this operation, I filtered the Items collection by using the Find command with a filter string of Format("[SentOn] >= %s", [DateTimeToStr(LastSent-CheckInterval)]). This used to work fine already. However, I'm currently in the process of extending that project and have set up a new Exchange Server 2000 for testing and suddenly that exchange server is balking at the filter expression. Could this be an issue of conflicting regional settings between client and server? How would I be able to work around that? I cannot hardcode a date format as this is more or less shrinkwrapware... is there maybe a standard date format that would be recognized by the server in any case? What about altogether alternative approaches? Maybe I could set a custom named property when I send the message and filter by that? I haven't been able to get that working so far, though (that is the filtering - I could set and get custom properties alright already). Anything to take care of when doing something like this? I haven't worked with custom properties before... Maybe some other method of filtering/identfying the items that are scheduled for move? Ideas? P.S.: I'm already using the Redemption Objects library, so if that provides anything useful for my situation feel free to mention it...

Hmm OK, then I guess this is something different after all: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321423 Rereading it now it definitely looks like it. <blush/> Quote: What happened when you tried to use it? When I try to send the message (manually, not programmatically) I get a warning dialog popup saying "The Operation failed". AFAICT by debugging it doesn't happen anywhere in my code, so I really couldn't tell. I tried to set the folder in the Inspector's OnActivate event handler to the currently selected (public) folder (obtained from Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder). If there really is some way to make this work it would definitely save me a lot of work!...

I just found some mention (http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/setsavefolder.htm) that SaveSentMessageFolder only works if the specified folder is in the default message store. This is not the case here. If this is the case, why isn't this in the documentation for SaveSentMessageFolder itself? Anyway, the article gave me a good idea on a more promising approach (using the SentItems folder's AddItem event instead of scanning the whole folder)... trying that now.
