Using Outlook VBA to forward Emails, but want exclude appointments

Question

I managed to find a nice little script that will forward emails to an external address becuase our exchange server is configured not to do that.

Private Sub          


        

Answer 1

Just a little bit of conditional logic to ensure that you're only dealing with MailItem (since objItem is variant/object and may be another type of item like an AppointmentItem, etc.):

Private Sub Application_NewMailEx(ByVal EntryIDCollection As String)

    MsgBox "I'm working!", vbExclamation

    Dim varEntryIDs
    Dim objItem As Object
    Dim myItem As MailItem
    Dim i As Integer
    varEntryIDs = Split(EntryIDCollection, ",")
    For i = 0 To UBound(varEntryIDs)
        Set objItem = Application.Session.GetItemFromID(varEntryIDs(i))

        '## Check the item's TypeName and ONLY process if it's a MailItem:

        If TypeName(objItem) = "MailItem" Then

            Set myItem = objItem.Forward
            myItem.Recipients.Add "mike.dumka@outlook.com"
            myItem.Send

        Else:
            MsgBox "Type of item is: " & TypeName(objItem)

        End If

    Next
End Sub

You can either check the myItem.MessageClass property (it will be "IPM.Note" for the regular messages) or myItem.Class property - it will be 43 (olMail).
