Get current ItemId in Outlook Rules Filter

[Exit]

I want to call an Autoit exe in a filter rule of Outlook.

The following script is called on every new email in my inbox.

But there is a problem: I don't know how to identify the current mail id.

#include <OutlookEX.au3>
$oOL = _OL_Open()

$CurentMailItem = $oOL.current.Id ; <<===== How to determine current Mail Item ???

$subject = $CurentMailItem.subject
$rc = _OL_Close($oOL)
MsgBox(0, "Current Mail Item ", "Subject is: " & $subject, 100)

Can someone point me in the right direction ?

I too haven't found a way to retrieve the Id when calling an Exe by a rule.

But you can process every new mail by using events.

Example script _OL_Example_NewMail_Event.au3 shows how it works.

I solved the problem by using a script to call my EXE with the entryid as parameter.  

At first, create a VBA script by using Alt-F11 in Outlook:

Sub OutlookFilter(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
    x = Shell(Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Data\Autoit\OutlookFilter.exe " & Item.EntryID, vbHide)
End Sub

Define a Outlook rule to call the script.

 

Create the EXE. Here a sample.

#include <OutlookEX.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
$oOL = _OL_Open()
$EntryId = $cmdlineraw
$Item = _OL_ItemGet($oOL, $EntryId)
;_ArrayDisplay($item) ; uncomment for debugging
$Body = $Item[9][1]
$SentOn = $Item[70][1]
$SenderEmailAddress = $Item[64][1]
$Subject = $Item[74][1]
;Beep(1000, 100) ; uncomment for debugging
Select
    Case $Body = ""   ; empty body is probable spam
        $rc = _OL_ItemMove($oOL, $EntryId, Default, "Persönliche Ordner\Junk-E-Mail\NoBody")
    Case $SentOn = "45010101000000"   ; no sent date is probable spam
        ;$rc = _OL_ItemDelete($oOL, $EntryId)  ; change MOVE to DELETE if you want no check
        $rc = _OL_ItemMove($oOL, $EntryId, Default, "Persönliche Ordner\Junk-E-Mail\NoSent")
    Case StringRegExp($Subject, "*** GMX Spamverdacht ***")  ; Classified as spam by GMX
        $rc = _OL_ItemMove($oOL, $EntryId, Default, "Persönliche Ordner\Junk-E-Mail\*** GMX Spamverdacht ***")
    Case StringRegExp($SenderEmailAddress, "@firstentry@" & _
            "|news@aldi-sued.de" & _
            "|@anywhere.com" & _
            "|@lastentry@")    ; put advertisung in a separate folder
        $rc = _OL_ItemMove($oOL, $EntryId, Default, "Persönliche Ordner\Posteingang\Werbung")
EndSelect
_OL_Close($oOL)

Don't forget to create the destination folders

 

Hope, this helps others to code Outlook rules in Autoit.
