Conversation.GetAlwaysDelete method (Outlook)
Returns a constant in the OlAlwaysDeleteConversation enumeration that indicates whether all new items that join the conversation are always moved to the Deleted Items folder in the specified delivery store.
Syntax
expression. GetAlwaysDelete( _Store_ )
expression A variable that represents a 'Conversation' object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Store | Required | Store | Specifies the store that holds the Deleted Items folder to which items of the conversation are moved. |
Return value
A constant from the OlAlwaysDeleteConversation enumeration that indicates whether all new items of the conversation are always moved to the Deleted Items folder of the specified delivery store.
Remarks
If the Store parameter specifies a non-delivery store such as an archive .pst store, the GetAlwaysDelete method returns a constant from OlAlwaysDeleteConversation that applies to conversation items in the default delivery store. Items on a non-delivery store are not moved to the Deleted Items folder for the default delivery store.
If GetAlwaysDelete returns olAlwaysDelete, items of the conversation are always moved to the Deleted Items folder for the store that contains the items. In a cross-store conversation, items are moved to the Deleted Items folder for the store that contains the items. When GetAlwaysDelete returns olAlwaysDelete, the GetAlwaysMoveToFolder method returns a folder object that represents the Deleted Items folder for the default store.
If GetAlwaysDelete returns olAlwaysDeleteUnsupported, the specified store does not support the action of always moving items to the Deleted Items folder of that store.
If GetAlwaysDelete returns olDoNotDelete, new items that arrive in the conversation are not moved to the Deleted Items folder on the specified delivery store, and existing conversation items in the Deleted Items folder are moved to the Inbox.
Example
The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Application (VBA) example shows how to verify the always-delete setting of the conversation of a selected mail item. The code example, DemoGetAlwaysDelete, verifies that conversations are enabled in the default store, obtains the conversation that involves the first mail item displayed in the Reading Pane if a conversation exists, uses GetAlwaysDelete to obtain the always-delete setting, and displays the setting.
Sub DemoGetAlwaysDelete()
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oConv As Outlook.Conversation
Dim oStore As Outlook.Store
Dim intValue As Integer
' Get the item displayed in Reading Pane.
Set oMail = ActiveExplorer.Selection(1)
If Application.Session.DefaultStore.IsConversationEnabled Then
Set oConv = oMail.GetConversation
If Not (oConv Is Nothing) Then
intValue = _
oConv.GetAlwaysDelete(Application.session.DefaultStore)
If intValue = _
Outlook.OlAlwaysDeleteConversation.olAlwaysDelete Then
Debug.Print "olAlwaysDelete"
ElseIf intValue = _
Outlook.OlAlwaysDeleteConversation.olAlwaysDeleteUnsupported Then
Debug.Print "olAlwaysDeleteUnsupported"
ElseIf intValue = _
Outlook.OlAlwaysDeleteConversation.olDoNotDelete Then
Debug.Print "olDoNotDelete"
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
