Q: 

Outlook MailItem opened from standalone file, or not?

I'm developing an Outlook addin in C# and have a problem distinguishing mails opened from a folder (Inbox, Sent etc) from mails opened from a standalone .msg file.

I've tried inspecting the Parent property, but it shows Inbox for both kinds.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks! EntryID in combination with Sent is what i was after. A bit nervous about how different mail stores behaves though, but that'll show, I suppose.
