I honestly can't remember if folder references in VB were required to be
released, or should I say Microsoft "suggested" it. It's thankfully been way
TOO LONG since I last touched VB and Outlook to remember, but I definitely
remember the MAPI namespace references had to be set to Nothing. VB would look
something like this.
outlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
olNameSpace = outlookApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
olActiveExplorer = outlookApp.ActiveExplorer
Based on your code snippet below, I don't know if your referencing the MAPI
namespace. It may not be required if you're just referencing current and
default folders using ActiveExplorer. Sorry man, I just don't remember enough
about it. I only dabbled as it was. Hope this helps.

Maybe, I'm still getting the hang of this Windows programming thing :-)
I do have references to -> the CurrentFolder, Sent Mail Folder and
SentMail Items and I don't believe I'm explicitly closing/releasing or
deleting these references anywhere in my code.
Most of my addin is virtually the same as outlookAddin.py
(...\site-packages\win32com\demos\outlookAddin.py) *but* my ButtonEvent
looks like this:
<code>
class ButtonEvent:
def Init(self, application, activeExplorer):
self.application = application
self.activeExplorer = activeExplorer
def Close(self):
self.application = None
self.activeExplorer = None
self.close()
def OnClick(self, button, cancel):
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, "C")
# Get the ID of the folder we're currently in.
currentFolder = self.activeExplorer.CurrentFolder
currentFolderID = \
currentFolder.Parent.StoreID, currentFolder.EntryID
# Get the ID of the 'Sent Items' folder.
sentFolder = \
self.application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(constants.olFolderSentMail)
sentFolderID = sentFolder.Parent.StoreID, sentFolder.EntryID
# If we're in the 'Sent Items'...
if currentFolderID[1] == sentFolderID[1]:
self.getSentEmailInfo()
else: # We're not in 'Sent Items'.
self.folderError()
def getSentEmailInfo(self):
sentMailItem = self.activeExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
try:
To = sentMailItem.To
CC = sentMailItem.CC
BCC = sentMailItem.BCC
Subject = sentMailItem.Subject
Body = sentMailItem.Body
except: # Don't forget to change this.
print "Error retrieving infomation from the Sent mail item!"
self.createMailMessage(To, CC, BCC, Subject, Body)
def createMailMessage(self, To, CC, BCC, Subject, Body):
# There's usually a 'download' link in the body of the
# email, if we find it, we'll use it.
site = re.findall("http://.*";, Body)
if site:
link = site[0].strip("\r") + "/addendum"
else:
link = ""
mailMessage = self.application.CreateItem(constants.olMailItem)
mailMessage.To = To
mailMessage.CC = CC
mailMessage.BCC = BCC
if "RE:" in Subject:
mailMessage.Subject = Subject
else:
mailMessage.Subject = "RE: " + Subject
mailMessage.Body = \
"A new addendum has been issued for this project.\n\n%s" % link
#~ mailMessage.Save()
mailMessage.Display()
def folderError(self):
errMsg = \
"You must be in the 'Sent Items' Folder to use this tool!"
win32api.MessageBox(0,
errMsg,
'Folder Error',
win32con.MB_ICONEXCLAMATION)
</code>
I guess I'll try and delete some of these folder and mail objects and
see what happens.
Thanks,
Bill
