    Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim objMail As MailItem
    Dim objitems As ItemProperties
    Dim objitem As ItemProperty

    Set olApp = Outlook.Application
    'Create a new mail item
    Set objMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    'Create a reference to the ItemProperties collection
    Set objitems = objMail.ItemProperties
    'Create reference to the first object in the collection
    Set objitem = objitems.item(0)

End Sub
