hi,

i'm using ITH 3.3 and i try out the event-handle if a new email arrives in the inbox. this is code i use:

 Public Sub Form1_MessagingItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MessagingItemEventArgs)
        Dim ex As New EmailMessage(e.ItemId)
        Dim subject As String
        Dim body As String
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim notfall As Boolean
        Dim id As String
        Dim msg As EmailMessage
        Application.DoEvents()
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
        Application.DoEvents()
        subject = ex.Subject
        For i = 0 To os.EmailAccounts(0).Inbox.Count - 1
            msg = os.EmailAccounts(0).Inbox.Item(i)
            If msg.Read = False Then
                msg.Read = True
                msg.Update()
                subject = msg.Subject
                body = msg.BodyText
                writeLog("Form1_MessagingItemCreated", "Neue email eingegangen: " + subject + "|" + body, False)

                writeLog("Form1_MessagingItemCreated", "Neue email eingegangen (ex): " + ex.Subject.ToString + "|" + ex.BodyText.ToString, False)

            End If
        Next
    End Sub

important are the line writeLog. why? easy to explain: the results are different:

 Neue email eingegangen: mySubject|myBodytext

and 

 Neue email eingegangen (ex): mySubject|

or sometimes: 

 Neue email eingegangen (ex): |

or in some cases:

 Neue email eingegangen (ex): mySubject|myBodytext

so why are there 3 kinds of the result?

my workaround to get the incomming message take to long to get the messagedata :(

so are there any tips to get the whole message information without my workaround? why does the event not work correctly?

thanks.

The Created event fires when a new message item is created in a folder, however at this stage not all the properties are populated. In order to support this you need to store the ItemId of the new item and then wait for the Modified event for this item. In the eventargs for a modification you can check the property ids returned to see if they contain the message body. Usually there are 1 or 2 modification events after the item is created. Another simpler approach would be to introduce a time delay after the item is created to give the message transport time to save the properties. The exact sequence of properties written varies between versions of Windows Mobile and depending on the message transport- ActiveSync, POP, IMAP etc

Hello guys

Peter, i had the same problem. Somes fields from message are empty.

So, you gave two options

In the first option, How can i implements a verification to know when the message and his fields are ready?

I only tried to implement a "Thread.Sleep" in the second option with a time well large, but also return empty fields.

Thanks

Hello there,

i've tried this one here, but it's always the same: i cant get the hole new message:

Public Class frmMain
    Public newMailList As New ArrayList

'...

   Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        AddHandler os.MessagingItemCreated, AddressOf Form1_MessagingItemCreated
        AddHandler os.MessagingItemModified, AddressOf Foorm1_MessagingItemModified

end sub

Private Sub Foorm1_MessagingItemModified(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MessagingItemEventArgs)
        Dim ex As New EmailMessage(e.ItemId)
        Dim idx As Integer
        idx = newMailList.IndexOf(e.ItemId.ToString)
        If idx > -1 Then
            newMailList.RemoveAt(idx) 'mail wieder leeren
            MsgBox("Subject: " + ex.Subject + vbCrLf + ex.BodyText)
        End If
    End Sub

    Public Sub Form1_MessagingItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MessagingItemEventArgs)
        Dim ex As New EmailMessage(e.ItemId)
        newMailList.Add(e.ItemId.ToString)

end sub 

 if a new email arrives it take minutes if the messagebox popps up. sometime i do not get a messagebox, or i get it when the next mail arrives...

so whats wrong with code or with the libary?

thanks hibbert.de 

I have a sample project which shows how to handle the combination of Created/Modified events to catch when a message is available and it's properties are filled in. I will post it here shortly.

 Hello peter

Did you post the sample project that you commented?
