OpenEntry Requests.

T-rev · Joined: 14 Aug 2007 Posts: 3

I have some strange behaviour across 2 very different releases of our
messageStore addin.
If the preview pane is turned off and you entry a folder, you get an
onSelectionChange for item clicked on in extensions and a request for the
EntryId from the Folder properties.

In a previous version of the software this is the same with the exception
that when you click off Outlook and highlight another window, it now
requests an openEntry on the IMessage itself, and we endup having to build
it all. I do not see any reason for this, as it does not need to know the
properties at this stage, and didn't for all of the UI operations while
still in Outlook (unless the message is opened)

Any Ideas???

I don't see why this is a problem. If Outlook wants it, let Outlook have it.
Supposedly you already have data that you show in the folder contents table,
so you have some of it cached. Plus why not defer doing anything time
consuming until Outlook actually asks for the data via
IMessage::GetProps/OpenProperty/GetRecipientTable/GetAttachmentTable?

As the email is stored in MSG format in a backend store, when Outlook
requests the properties we have to retrive the entire MSG with content and
properties in order just to process properties.

We have a shortened set of properties which is all that is needed to fill in
the current view stored off seperately which is all that is needed to fill
in the contents table.

My problem is that Outlook is presently requesting the properites and
opening the RTF property and the attachment table (as if some for of sync
event has happened).
So its not as if I could even hold off any longer as it does request all of
the above.)

My question is that this Outlook does not need to know this information
whilst in the UI any ideas what would make a request for it when you take
the focus away.
I started looking at the uuid in the entry id, the mdb provider etc. but
with no luck.

Any more ideas.

PS It is not normal behaviour as I see it, as it does not happen on the
wrapped PST I have, and also not on our most messageStore.

Do you return all of the properties requested through IMAPITable?

Yes, properties are normally requested on in the contents table, which we
get a TableView on, and then return that view wrapped to get all future
calls on it.

Update Meeting Requests In Outlook 2003 when adding or removing an attendee it no longer gives you the option box to send to all attendees or just the ones Is this something new in 2003 or is there a workaround for this? Maybe a server setting? Our

AutoForward meeting requests I work w/someone who somehow has a that automatically forwards all meeting requests on to other individuals in our team. I would like to turn this off. It is NOT a rule though, what else could it be?

Trouble when receiving meeting requests I have a user running Outlook 2000 SP3 (yes, 2000, not a typo). When she gets meeting requests, only the email header info is displayed in the body of the message... not meeting info. Any ideas? Thanks.

How do I get rid of repeated requests to enter network passw I had to develop a new profile so I could pickup message when I'm away from my computer. Now I get a repeated popup requesting me to enter network password. How do I get rid of this message???? Help it is driving me crazy.

Fax coversheet Has anyone come up with a template that can generate a fax coversheet that automatically draws from the information in a contact (ex: Name, Company, and Fax number)? It just feels ridiculous copying and pasting that into a word document each time.
