ConversationID is `Nothing` in VSTO Application.ItemSend sub












0















I'm trying to create a performance tracking app - which at a basic level will work out how quickly I'm replying to emails.



I think I may be using the wrong "sent item" trigger event though, because the conversation ID is nothing for some replies in the below sub Application_ItemSend:



Public Class ThisAddIn
Public Shared ConversationThreads As Dictionary(Of String, Date)

Private Sub Application_NewMailEx(EntryIDCollection As String) Handles Application.NewMailEx
For Each itemID In Split(EntryIDCollection, ",")
Dim item = Application.Session.GetItemFromID(itemID)
If TypeName(item) = "MailItem" Then
'is it a Tracked Email
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
msg = item
ConversationThreads.Add(msg.ConversationID, Now())
End If
Next

End Sub

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(Item As Object, ByRef Cancel As Boolean) Handles Application.ItemSend
If TypeName(Item) = "MailItem" Then
'is it a Tracked Email
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
msg = Item
For Each tRecipient As Outlook.Recipient In msg.Recipients
If Not msg.ConversationID Is Nothing AndAlso
ConversationThreads.ContainsKey(msg.ConversationID) Then
Call OpenCloseThread(msg.ConversationID)
End If


Next
End If

End Sub

end class


Should I be using a different trigger for this sub?

          Call msg.Save() before reading the ConversationID property.

          • That hasn't worked. Does it matter that the test "conversation" is between myself and another internal user?

          • If you look at the item in the Sent Items folder, does it have ConversationID property set (select the message, click Item button on the OuItlookSpy ribbon, select ConversationID property)?
