Ken and Aravind,

I have checked the scope of "defaultFolder" and it is a member of the
partial class "ThisApplication" (The auto generated code for a plugin using
VSTO) and so is the "Items_ItemAdd" event handler so they should not go out
of scope, as far as I can see.

I tried Aravind's suggestion of using the "SaveSentMessageFolder" property
and that works in saving a copy of the mail to a specified folder, which is
what I was trying to achive by getting the mail from the sent folder and
moving it to the custom folder.

Thank you for the help.

I've never seen that here at all. No matter if it's a reply, replyall,
forward or new message if it goes to Sent Items after sending then I get
ItemAdd on the Items collection of that folder. That's assuming that 15 or
fewer items are added at once, otherwise the MAPI limitation on those events
comes into play and the event does not fire.

Vimesh,

I face a similar problem and haven't found a workaround. When I create a
new email (i.e., use "New" then the sentitems itemadd event fires. But if
I
reply to an existing email or forward an email, it does not.

Regarding your other question, I am using
"myMailItem.SaveSentMessageFolder
= folder;" before the call to mailitem.send to have outlook automatically
move the current item into the appropriate folder.

Ken,

I have the variable declared at the class level, but the event doesn't
always fire. Like I said above, it always fires if the user is typing up
a
new email but does not if it is a reply or forward.
