IsMailStationery

Keep my Stationary, Please

The search function that we use is the general one. Meaning that we do not want to use the FTSearch on the database.

This FTSearch will fail. Why?

First, if the database is not full text indexed either on the server or on your desktop. Second, if someone (or you) deleted the index and did not generate a new one!

Originally, we called our move routine with the search criteria sitting in a parameter string. Now, we will add the folder we want our documents to go into. Moving our Helpdesk documents into the folder zHelpDesk Tasks will allow us to keep track of correspondence (email) from messages and replies to this stationary.

We use the @Contains function to grab every message in our mailbox (not just the $Inbox view mind you) and place it into our selected folder.

Then, we do a little bit of behind the  scenes minipulation and add our special flag to the database search by appending " & ISMAILSTATIONARY != 1" to the passed search string. This code snippet is what we add in our little subroutine.

After this point, we can create our collection, just as in the original subroutine.

But magically, our stationary will no longer get caught up in the wild frenzy that we generate, while we are "Keeping our mailbox clean."
