OutlookEX UDF - Help & Support (IV)

[water]

The wrapper is much more complex then it should be The documentation is incomplete and hence confusing.
I think I will drop all recurrence related parameters. So $iSensitivity will be the last supported parameter.

If recurrence is needed this should be set by calling the full blown functions. This way you get the full documentation and examples.

What's your opinion?

I like that suggestion.

The ay I have looked a this, is that the FULL functions are available if you need to do everything, but to get going and get a feel of capabilities the (simple) wrappers are a great way to get started.

Please do this

This is the stripped down function code as I think it should look like:

i am trying to get undeliverable messages in a folder.  seems they are not regular messages that fall under $olMail

i see other messages returned but not the undelivered messages that are in the same folder/date

$aResult = _OL_ItemFind($oOutlook, "*\External", $olMail, "", "CreationTime", "20240701", "", "", 2)

found these but not sure if the udf supports them - dont see them in the documentation

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/outlook/how-to/items-folders-and-stores/outlook-item-objects

thanks in advance!

Could you please run

$aResult = _OL_ItemFind($oOutlook, "*\External", $olItems, "", "", "", "EntryID,Subject,Class", "", 2)
_ArrayDisplay($aResult)

This should give you the object class of all items in the folder.
Could you please post the resulting class of an undelivered message?

[gcue]

get this array back

[water]

What is the value of @error and @extended then?
 

[gcue]

error: 0
extended: 0

[water]

Use the following to get the class of a NDR (non delivery report):

$aObject = _OL_FolderSelectionGet  ; Returns the object of an NDR you have selected in anArray
_ArrayDisplay($aObject)

You get:

Element 0 - Object of the selected item
Element 1 - EntryID of the selected item
Element 2 - OlObjectClass constant indicating the object's class

[gcue]

brilliant! 

that worked!

fyi it's class 46 for undelivered msgs

[water]

olReport - 46 - ReportItem object.

So _OL_ItemFind should work with $olReport.

[gcue]

right again

thanks!

[water]

Seems that $olReport returns different types of reports.
To make sure that you only process NDR (non delivery reports) you need to check the message class

If $oMailitem.MessageClass = "report.ipm.note.ndr" then ...

as described here

List of values (details can be found here😞

• report.ipm.note.dr for a delivery report
• report.ipm.note.ndr for a nondelivery report
• report.ipm.note.IPNRN for a read report
• report.ipm.note.IPNNRN for a nonread report
