Outlook 2007 items.count incorrect
 

Outlook 2007, Win 7 64bit. Running code in the newmail event. Works
perfectly on Outlook 2003:

I set my object to the inbox folder:

Set objFolder = objNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

then here is my test code:

MsgBox objFolder.Items.Count
MsgBox objFolder.Items.Count

The first occurrence of the Msgbox shows "0", the second shows "1" (which is
correct)

Any ideas???

Keep in midn that MAPI events are asynchronous and it is possible that
NewMail event is fired before the message is actually created/saved in the
Inbox folder.
Why not use the Items.ItemAdd event on the Inbox folder?

It has worked fine in 2003 for several years. In the end I rewrote it and
triggered it from a rule.

Thanks for your suggestion
