In an application I created, I programatically control Outlook 2003. I use
CreateObject to get the application if GetObject fails. From there I
reference a namespace object, Logon, and reference several other objects
including the Inbox MapiFolder. In a For loop I grab each MailItem in the
Inbox, and based on certain properties of each message, I set the messages
FlagIcon to one of the available settings. I notice that after I am all
done, if I switch to, or open Outlook, none of the messages in the Inbox has
its flag set.
Can someone explain why?

I did not use the Inspector object in my programming, could this have
anything to do with it?

Thank you.
