Conversation.StopAlwaysDelete method (Outlook)
Stops the action of always moving conversation items in the specified store to the Deleted Items folder in that store.
Syntax
expression. StopAlwaysDelete( _Store_ )
expression A variable that represents a 'Conversation' object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Store | Required | Store | Specifies the store to which the stop-always-delete action applies. |
Remarks
If the always-delete action has not been turned on, StopAlwaysDelete does not carry out any action.
If the always-delete action has been turned on (by calling the SetAlwaysDelete method, StopAlwaysDelete moves existing conversation items in the Deleted Items folder to the Inbox.
After calling the StopAlwaysDelete method for a conversation in a store, calling the GetAlwaysDelete method on that conversation and store returns the constant olDoNotDelete.
If the store specified by the Store parameter represents a non-delivery store such as an archive .pst store, the stop-always-delete action is applied to conversation items in the default delivery store.
Calling this method on a conversation that is already in the Deleted Items folder in the specified store returns an error.
Example
The following Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example shows how to stop the always-delete action for the conversation of a specific mail item. The code example, DemoStopAlwaysDelete, chooses the first mail item displayed in the Reading Pane as the specific mail item. DemoStopAlwaysDelete verifies that conversations are enabled on the store for the mail item, obtains the conversation that involves that mail item if a conversation exists, and uses SetAlwaysDelete to stop the always-delete action for that conversation on that store.
Sub DemoStopAlwaysDelete()
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oConv As Outlook.Conversation
Dim oStore As Outlook.Store
' Get the item displayed in the Reading Pane.
Set oMail = ActiveExplorer.Selection(1)
Set oStore = oMail.Parent.Store
If oStore.IsConversationEnabled Then
Set oConv = oMail.GetConversation
If Not (oConv Is Nothing) Then
oConv.StopAlwaysDelete oStore
End If
End If
End Sub
