I deleted an AppoitmentItem using the Outlook GUI. But still I can get the
AppointmentItem with the NameSpace.GetItemFromID() method. I guessed the
method should have returned a null value but I was wrong.

Then, how can I detect whether an AppointmentItem with the speciied EntryID
has been deleted by using the GUI?

Deleting the item just moved it to the Deleted Items folder. It has the same EntryID there that it did in its original location. Check the Parent property of the item that GetItemFromID returns.

Thank you, Sue.
I can now cast the item.Parent property to an Outlook.MAPIFolder object, and
compare its EntryID with the former folder's EntryID, so as to determine
whether the item has been deleted.

Do you have some more safer/smarter method to do this?

That sounds like a good approach.

Although comparing EntryID properties without using a special procedure
(like CompareEntryIDs in CDO or Redemption) can fail, especially for items
where you can get short or long term id's. And when an item is deleted from
an Exchange mailbox the EntryID on the item changes. It does not change when
deleted in a PST file.

I'd probably use ItemAdd on the Items collection of the Deleted Items
folder.

What is the "ItemAdd" that you mentioned?
And how to get the deleted Items folder?
Are all the deleted Items in the same folder? For example, the deleted
AppointItems and MailItems.
