MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / February 2006How to create a hidden message in a folder
Hi there, the application that I am working with requires a hidden message (of any class) to be inside a folder (corporate archive) on the root of the mailbox so that it can identify the specific folder and then archive its contents. I understand that I need to create this hidden message in the Associated Contents Table but i dont know how. Can someone please point me the correct way? is it done on the outlook client? on the exchange server? I appreciate any help Regards Davide You cannot create a hidden message manually. You must use code. Perhaps the easiest method is to use CDO 1.21. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=266734 for sample code. Why doesn't the application handle this chore for you, I wonder?

You can't do what you want using the Outlook object model. You would have to use CDO 1.21 (optional installation for Outlook 2000 and later) or Extended MAPI (C++ or Delphi code only) or Redemption (3rd party library at www.dimastr.com/redemption). Then you can access the HiddenItems collection of a folder and add an item to that. You could also create it using server side code, so you need to be more specific as to versions of Outlook and Exchange, where the code would run, what language and platform you are using.

I like the idea of doing it at server level. My customer uses Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003. The ideal solution would be that I could centrally create a visible folder at the root level of each user mailbox containing a hidden message (dont matter the class) so that when i run an archive task from my application, the task would find the folder with this hidden class message and then archive all its contents. Could you tell me which tools I need on the exchange server side to achieve this? Thanks a lot of your time and help. Davide Well, first of all you need to use server side CDO 1.21, that would be the easiest. The reference Sue gave would work for server side CDO. That CDO is installed when the ESM is installed. Then of course you need to use a logon that has access and permissions for every mailbox you want to access, either an admin logon or each user's logon.
