A new approach

Instead of trying to get emacs to work, maybe the right way to go about this is to try to learn how to script Outlook to do what I want.

With the quick investigation I’ve done into the matter, it should be too hard to write a script that does something similar to mew/wl’s refile mechanism using vbscript inside of outlook. Maybe if I get really motivated, I could throw a UI around it too.

In the end, these things are probably much better thought out in COM/MAPI land than emacs-lisp land.

    Why don’t you get MattE’s code? His crazy macro script does exactly what you want.

    I asked him about it, but apparently it doesn’t do what I wanted. What he does is hooks deletion, so that the mail goes to the right folder when deleted. Plus, he doesn’t care about sending multiple copies to different folders.
