Move email to another folder in Outlook

[MohanRatnam]

Hello,

I'm trying to do some work using the Outlook UDF. I can't figure out how to move email which I have just sent from the sent folder to another folder which I have created.

As you can guess, I'm no expert so please bear with me.

Here's my code

Global $oOutlook = _OL_Open()
$oItem = _OL_Wrapper_SendMail($oOutlook, "blahblah@outlook.com", "", "", "New Requisition", "")
_OL_ItemMove($oOutlook, $oItem, "*\Sent Items", "*\Requisitions\1. Submitted")

when i run it falls over with this error message

"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\OutlookEX.au3" (3125) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".:

If $oSourceFolder.DefaultItemType <> $vTargetFolder.DefaultItemType Then Return SetError(2, 0, 0)

If $oSourceFolder^ ERROR

 

Thanks

Which version of AutoIt do you run?

Which version of the OutlookEX UDF do you use?

I think _OL_ItemMove should look like:

_OL_ItemMove($oOutlook, $oItem, Default, "*\Requisitions\1. Submitted")

According to the front page of the Autoit helpfile I have ver v3.3.12.0.

Outlook Ex UDF is ver 1.0.0.0

I have tried with the code 

_OL_ItemMove($oOutlook, $oItem, Default, "*\Requisitions\1. Submitted")

and still get the same error message

I will test as soon as I return to my office.

Hello water,

was wonderin if there was any progress on this?

Ops, sorry, I forgot to post my findings-

The problem is caused by the fact that $oItem no longer exists - because it has been sent.

The item created in the "Sent Mails" folder has got a different EntryID.

So to move the item from the "Sent Mails" folder you either need to use _OL_ItemFind and search by subject, recipient, date etc. or use an event to wait for a new mail item to arrive in the "Sent Mails" folder.

An example can be found in the Example Scripts section (a link can be found in my signature).
