MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / March 2009redemption MAPIUtils
Hi, I'm setting some custom properties using Redemption.MAPIUtils interface. MessageItem interface is accessed from MAPIUtils and each property is set to the mail message using HrSetOneProp() function. The problem is that these properties are not available now. i need to restart outlook for getting these values. I have checked the same using Outlook Spy and it didn't show those properties. Once I restart outlook, it shows all properties. What is the issue? How do I resolve it? I need to read those properties after setting it. Thanks I assume you saving the MessageItem? You probably also need to alert Outlook that the item underlying the MessageItem has changed. Usually we use a trick like this, where item would be the item underlying the MessageItem object: item.Subject = item.Subject item.Save That should be done after saving the MessageItem and releasing references to it.

But I'm not clear about 'alert outlook' part. Outlook doesn't know about changes made to items using Extended MAPI, for which Redemption is a wrapper (more or less). So until it's restarted or an object is unloaded and re-loaded it doesn't know about changes you made. That little hack of setting Subject equal to itself on the original Outlook item and then saving that forces Outlook to re-read the MAPI properties and become aware of your changes using Redemption.
