MailItem.ReceivedByEntryID Property

  • Article
Outlook Developer Reference

Returns a String representing the EntryID for the true recipient as set by the transport provider delivering the mail message. Read-only.

Syntax

expression.ReceivedByEntryID

expression   A variable that represents a MailItem object.

Remarks

This property corresponds to the MAPI property PR_RECEIVED_BY_ENTRYID.

If you are getting this property in a Microsoft Visual Basic or Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) solution, owing to some type issues, instead of directly referencing ReceivedByEntryID, you should get the property through the PropertyAccessor object returned by the MailItem.PropertyAccessor property, specifying the PR_RECEIVED_BY_ENTRYID property and its MAPI proptag namespace. The following code sample in VBA shows the workaround.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Public Sub GetReceiverEntryID()
    Dim objInbox As Outlook.Folder
    Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim oPA As Outlook.PropertyAccessor
    Dim strEntryID As String
    Const PR_RECEIVED_BY_ENTRYID As String = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x003F0102"

Set objInbox = Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set objMail = objInbox.Items(1)
Set oPA = objMail.PropertyAccessor
strEntryID = oPA.BinaryToString(oPA.GetProperty(PR_RECEIVED_BY_ENTRYID))
Debug.Print strEntryID

Set objInbox = Nothing
Set objMail = Nothing



End Sub
