I'm trying to modify incoming emails in a specific folder and send it to another person.
The part modify/send works.
The script doesn't work when there is new email. It only works when I transfer it to myself.
The beginning of the code:
Private WithEvents Items As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
' default local Inbox
Set Items = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("DI").Items
End Sub
Private Sub Items_ItemAdd(ByVal item As Object)
Dim Msg As Outlook.MailItem
If TypeName(item) = "MailItem" Then
Set Msg = item
Did you restart your Outlook? Please refer to the following code:
Private WithEvents Items As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set Items = GetNS(olApp).GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Stuff").Items
End Sub
Private Sub Items_ItemAdd(ByVal item As Object)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
MsgBox "You moved an item into the 'Stuff' folder."
ProgramExit:
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume ProgramExit
End Sub
Function GetNS(ByRef app As Outlook.Application) As Outlook.NameSpace
Set GetNS = app.GetNamespace("MAPI")
End Function

If only one email is sent at a time then my code works fine, otherwise, if multiple items come in at the same time then only one of the emails is processed and moved. Basically, my code is processing items as they come into outlook. And if the email is received as a distribution list then the email is sent to a sub folder based on the distribution list name and time of day.
Here's my code:
Private WithEvents Items As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Items = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub Items_ItemAdd(ByVal cusItem As Object)
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Items = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
Dim strEntryID As String
Dim objAddressentry As Outlook.AddressEntry
Dim objRecipient As Outlook.Recipient
Dim objDestFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim objRecs As Outlook.Recipients
Dim i As Integer
If TypeName(cusItem) = "MailItem" Then
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Set objRecs = cusItem.Recipients
For i = 1 To objRecs.Count
Set objRecipient = objRecs.Item(i)
strEntryID = objRecipient.EntryID
Set objAddressentry = objNS.GetAddressEntryFromID(strEntryID)
If objAddressentry = "amazonselling" And TimeValue(Now()) >= TimeValue("08:00:00 AM") And TimeValue(Now()) <= TimeValue("05:00:00 PM") Then
Set objDestFolder = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("ryule")
cusItem.Move objDestFolder
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
ProgramExit:
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description & vbCrLf & "Click Ok to continue operations"
Resume ProgramExit
End Sub
Also, if I don't declare and set those variables twice then my code doesn't work as intended. Why is that and how could that be fixed?
The ItemAdd event is not fired when a large number of items are added to the folder at once (more than sixteen). This is a known issue when dealing with the Outlook object model. Instead, I'd suggest considering the NewMailEx event which is fired when a new message arrives in the Inbox and before client rule processing occurs. You can use the Entry ID returned in the EntryIDCollection array to call the NameSpace.GetItemFromID method and process the item.
Anyway, it seems the problem is in your code, try to remove additional declarations from both methods:
Private WithEvents Items As Outlook.Items
Private objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Set objNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Items = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub Items_ItemAdd(ByVal cusItem As Object)
Dim strEntryID As String
Dim objAddressentry As Outlook.AddressEntry
Dim objRecipient As Outlook.Recipient
Dim objDestFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim objRecs As Outlook.Recipients
Dim i As Integer
If TypeName(cusItem) = "MailItem" Then
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Set objRecs = cusItem.Recipients
For i = 1 To objRecs.Count
Set objRecipient = objRecs.Item(i)
strEntryID = objRecipient.EntryID
Set objAddressentry = objNS.GetAddressEntryFromID(strEntryID)
If objAddressentry = "amazonselling" And TimeValue(Now()) >= TimeValue("08:00:00 AM") And TimeValue(Now()) <= TimeValue("05:00:00 PM") Then
Set objDestFolder = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("ryule")
cusItem.Move objDestFolder
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
ProgramExit:
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description & vbCrLf & "Click Ok to continue operations"
Resume ProgramExit
End Sub
I made a code that would take an incomming email in a specific folder (First a rule is created in order to move the mail to the folder and then the script is launched).
The problem is that the rule is working (it moves the mail to the folder), but the script isn't.
The thing is that when I take the new mail and transfer it to myself (My email is also in the receivers in the rules), the script is correctly working.
Here is the beginning of the code that I believe may be wrong.
Sub Script(item As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim strMailID As String
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace
strMailID = item.EntryID
Set objNamespace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objMail = objNamespace.GetItemFromID(strMailID)
Dim objpf As MAPIFolder
If objMail.MessageClass = "IPM.Note" Then
Any help would be appreciated
You need add an event listener to the default local Inbox, it worked with Outlook 2016.
This code will add an event listener to the default local Inbox. Action will be placed upon incoming emails. You need to add actions you need in the code below:
Private WithEvents Items As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
' default local Inbox
Set Items = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub Items_ItemAdd(ByVal item As Object)
On Error Goto ErrorHandler
Dim Msg As Outlook.MailItem
If TypeName(item) = "MailItem" Then
Set Msg = item
' ******************
' do something here
' ******************
End If
ProgramExit:
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume ProgramExit
End Sub
After pasting the code in ThisOutlookSession module, you must restart Outlook.
I have written a brief piece of code to perform certain actions when an e-mail arrives in the mailbox, but it only seems to work for the first e-mail that arrives immediately after the code is saved, after that nothing happens for subsequent e-mails.
I have put a watch on the code, and nothing is triggered, so it is not just a subsequent error in the subsequent code.
Code is (in the session object):
Option Explicit
Private objNS As Outlook.Namespace
Private WithEvents objItems As Outlook.Items
Private sub Application_Startup()
Dim objWatchFolder as Outlook.Folder
Set objNS = Application.Getnamespace("MAPI")
Set objWatchFolder = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set objItems = objWatchFolder.Items
End Sub
Private Sub objItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item as Object)
' Do this, that, the other, passing the e-mail to other subroutines
' No problems in this code.
End Sub
Any guidance or pointers that can be given would be greatly appreciated!
Please restart your Outlook if you use the WithEvents. However, please try to the following code:
Private WithEvents Items As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
' default local Inbox
Set Items = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub Items_ItemAdd(ByVal item As Object)
On Error Goto ErrorHandler
Dim Msg As Outlook.MailItem
If TypeName(item) = "MailItem" Then
Set Msg = item
' ******************
' do something here
' ******************
End If
ProgramExit:
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume ProgramExit
End Sub

I am using the code above and its working wonderfully on the NEW EMAIL trigger (THANK YOU - Gautam Mainkar (LINK). However, I am trying to pass a Boolean (True/False) variable along with the Items event trigger.
So I am attempting to set say...MyTrueFalse within the Application_Startup() so it is set ONLY ONCE, and passed whenever Items_ItemAdd is triggered by a new email.
I do not want another sub routine, just pass MyTrueFalse boolean as set in the Application_Startup().
I have tried multiple variations of Public settings and multiple variables on the Items_ItemAdd sub and nothing works. I am hoping someone can help me here. Thanks
Oh Yeah: it resides in ThisOutlookSession
Private WithEvents Items As Outlook.Items
Private MyTrueFalse As Boolean
Private Sub Application_Startup()
MyTrueFalse = True
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
' default local Inbox
Set Items = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub Items_ItemAdd(ByVal item As Object)
If MyTrueFalse Then GoTo DoThisAlso 'Example Only'
On Error Goto ErrorHandler
Dim Msg As Outlook.MailItem
If TypeName(item) = "MailItem" Then
Set Msg = item
' ******************
' do something here
' ******************
End If
DoThisAlso:
MsgBox "MyTrueFalse is: " & MyTrueFalse
ProgramExit:
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume ProgramExit
End Sub
Tim Williams was right, corrected the code (above) and works great!! Thanks Tim. Mike
I have the following code which tells when new message has arrived!
Private Sub Application_NewMail()
MsgBox "New Mail Has Arrived"
End Sub
How do I read the body,subject of this mail? Are there any good tutorials for outlook programming?
I found msdn tutorial which was useful but was general overview.
You'll need something like this:
Private WithEvents myOlItems As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myOlItems = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub myOlItems_ItemAdd(ByVal item As Object)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim Msg As Outlook.MailItem
If TypeName(item) = "MailItem" Then
Set Msg = item
MsgBox Msg.Subject
MsgBox Msg.Body
End If
ProgramExit:
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume ProgramExit
End Sub
Paste the code into ThisOutlookSession and restart Outlook. When a message enters your default local Inbox you'll see the popup with subject and body.
