Can Outlook Interop API not recognise a DeliveryNotification - api

Story goes: My user sends an email to their client. My user ticks of "delivery notification" / "read notification". The client responds on the notification. Now my user has a "notification" sitting in their inbox. My application may attach that "email" to a project database, happens with any other regular email.
Now a bug report ticks in (feature request) on my table. My user like to attach those "notifications" to the project in question, but my application does not recognise the notification as an email.
Having recieved this feature/bug request, I start investigating. When I right click the mail in question I'd expect to have the option of attaching the mail to a project. I do with regular emails, but not with the notification email.
First off: Isn't a delivery/ read notification just like any other email. Apparently not as it is not being recognised in the first run.
Second: If it isn't an email, what is it then. Apparently it does not exist. WT'bip'...
I found an enum DeliveryNotificationOptions under System.Net.Mail, but I'm using the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook and the MailItem in there. I found the MailItem.OriginatorDeliveryReportRequested which is what the client's mail application has replied to and sent my user the notification.
I have the Outlook addin both as an Office2007(.Net3.5) and Office2010(.Net4) version, the 2003 has been retired. The way I see this it goes beyond office and .net version concerns.
Any light or pointers people like to share on this matter would be appreciated.

It's called a ReportItem (DeliveryNotification).

How the mail notifications are working in Odoo14 for the Leave application, approval/rejection?

While applying, approving/rejecting the leave sometimes the emails are sent from the odoo14 system, but there is no mail template or mail sending functionality found in the leave module. Does anyone know how it's working? Images of the mail are below.
You can find the post message for leave acceptance here and for leave refusing here
The message_post method respect the user's preference. If the user changes the notification option from the user preferences in user form to Handle by Odoo rather than Handle by Emails,the user will not receive emails; instead, they will receive notifications in Odoo's UI.

Autoresponder in Gmail without "Vacation Responder"?

I'm trying to set up an autoresponder in Gmail that is not a typical vacation responder that's sent via a separate email. My autoresponder should respond directly to the email that came to the inbox.
There used to be a way with IFTTT, but they've since removed any Gmail triggers.
The reason I am looking for this is that I have a business on Yelp and when customers request quotes on Yelp, they get sent to my email. I can either open the Yelp app (or website) and respond there or respond directly to that email from my email address (it doesn't work to send a separate email to that Yelp email).
Has anyone ever done anything like this before? Alternatively, I was thinking of going the somewhat more complicated route and have an "incoming email" trigger in Zapier and then have something scrape the email for links and set up an automation to respond with my standard response, but that seemed like a lot...
I've solved it with Zapier! Basically, in Zapier you need to set up a Gmail response and respond to the same thread ID as the original email. This will work for any "respond to this email to respond to the client" messages from pages like Yelp for Business.

VSTO - How to trace email body from bounce back email?

I'm new to develop VSTO. I have a Java schedule job to send email daily by SMTP.
If email is bounce back, my outlook would receive bounce back email.
Here is the question, since I used java program to send email, there is no copy in "sent items" folder. How can I trace back the original email Body from this bounce back email?
Thank you.
You can use the data from headers like Message-ID, To, From, Subject, Recieved property values for identifying the original item in Outlook.

Track bounced back newsletter emails

I've built a newsletter system which tracks:
Openings
Link clicks
Unsubscriptions
However, I need to find a way of tracking which newsletter emails 'bounced back'.
Has anyone done this before and whats the best way of doing it?
When sending the mail via SMTP you supply the FROM command which is sometimes referred to as the 'Sender' or 'Envelope Sender'. This is separate from the From: header in the email itself. What you want to do is to create a 'bounced' mailbox and set that as the 'Sender' for the email. If there is a bounce, then most mail servers will send a (NDR) notification back to this sender.
Then you need to periodically check this mailbox for NDR's and parse them for the original recipient and if it was a hard or soft bounce. There are various libraries that can do this for you such as ListNanny

How can I avoid Outlook's security warning when sending email programmatically?

I send email through Outlook using VB.Net 2005; this is working fine.
At the same time, however, I receive the following message:
A program is trying to automatically send Email on your behalf.
Do you want to allow this ?
if this is enexpected, it may be virus and you should choose no.
Is there any way to avoid this?
This is "by design". It's done to prevent viruses from doing things like going through the address book and automatically sending emails on the user's behalf. Having the dialog prevents a virus from silently becoming a spam bot.
I know this isn't answering your direct question, but is there a reason you can use the System.Net.Mail.MailMessage class and send using that? Or is this because you want the e-mail to show up in their sent items?
You need some library like Redemption to circumvent this popup. It's the default built-in security behaviour of Outlook (since version 2002 I think).
