[windev] Need Mapi SDK for Visual C++ 6.0 Outlook 2003

[Long, Matthew]

<< Are you sure you want to do this in a service? >>

I definitely don't want to do it manually. It's a profile that only handles
system status emails, and we get about 400 a day, showing current status of
all our systems. We have to move these emails to another folder at least
once of day, if we don't it becomes a night to manage. 

<< Outlook AddIn >>

Not sure if there are addIns that will move data on a daily basis, I'll have
to check.

<< It will save you an absolute ton of time, without a doubt.>>

Time is not an issue for me when it comes to development, I have plenty of
it!


Thanks.
Matt

Are you sure you want to do this in a service?  If there are multiple
profiles defined, how will it pick one?  And what about any login
credentials that may be needed?  I'd think an Outlook AddIn would be a
better fit -- true Outlook would need to be running but who cares what's in
Outlook folders when it isn't?

Regardless, consider using a third-party tool called Outlook Redemption,
rather than writing a bunch of MAPIX code.  You can try it for free, it's
license is very reasonably priced and I've found it to be excellent.

It includes a set of "safe*item" helper objects to pick-up the slack where
Outlook's object model is missing things, and also it's own object model RDO
(Redemption data object) that is highly functional (and where I'd suggest
anyone new to Outlook programming should start.)  It will save you an
absolute ton of time, without a doubt.
