Derived from: _MAPIProp -

_MAPIProp methods and properties: GetIDsFromNames, Fields(), GetPropList, GetNamesFromIDs, CopyTo, Save, MAPIOBJECT, Session

CopyTo(DestObj)

Copies the message to the destination object. RDOMail overrides the behavior inherited from _MAPIProp depending on the type of the DestObj parameter, which can be either another message represented by the RDOMail object or a folder represented by the RDOFolder object

set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
Session.Logon
set Inbox = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
set Drafts = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDrafts)

'grab a message with a given subject
set Msg = Inbox.Items("test message")

'copy to the Drafts folder
Msg.CopyTo(Drafts)
'or create a new message in Drafts, then copy
set NewMsg = Drafts.Items.Add("IPM.Note")
Msg.CopyTo(NewMsg)

NewMsg.Save

MarkRead(SuppressReceipt )

Marks the message as read. If SuppressReceipt is TRUE, no read receipt is generated (if one is requested). If SuppressReceipt is FALSE, the behavior is analogous to setting the the UnreadPropety to false - message will be marked as read and a read receipt will be generated if it is requested.

On the MAPI level user property values are stored as regular named MAPI properties, but Outlook also stores the properties definitions in a special binary blob, which in turn is stored in another named MAPI property on the item.

You can access the values of the user properties using MAPIProp.Fields, but RDOUserProperties collection allows to modify the user properties definitions, which are also used when designing a form or when managing folder fields (see RDOFolderFields).
