Using tracking options in outlook 2007

[srinivasanyadhav]

Dear team,

I would like to use tracking options for the mails I am sending through VBA code.

1. Request read receipt
2. Request delivery receipt
3. Using High importance option.

Can you help on this.

To find out what you need, do the following:
- Start Outlook.
- Press Alt+F11 to activate the Visual Basic Editor (or click Visual Basic in the Code group on the Developer tab of the ribbon).
- Press F2 to activate the Object Browser (or select View | Object Browser).
- You already know from previous threads that the VBA name for a message is MailItem.
- Type MailItem in the search box and press Enter.
- Look through the list of members of MailItem for the features you need:

OriginatorDeliveryReportRequested can be used to request a delivery receipt. Boolean, i.e. True or False.
ReadReceiptRequested can be used to request a read receipt. Also Boolean.
Importance can be used to specify the importance of the message. You'll see that it is of type OlImportance. Click on OlImportance to see its possible values:

olImportanceHigh = 2
olImportanceLow = 0
olImportanceNormal = 1

You use a variable olMsg for the mail message. So you can use:

Code: Select all

    olMsg.OriginatorDeliveryReportRequested = True
    olMsg.ReadReceiptRequested = True
    olMsg.Importance = 2
