Hey Shay,
yeah that's how I originally found out, by poking around the message list
in Outlook.
I don't really see anything when my script runs, other than it goes from
"ok, it's processing something",
to "ok, now it's just skipping through everything".
I can also see it in the generated text file. Suddenly there are gaps of
2-3 lines in Excel. Then some
more e-mail addresses. Which is probably because Outlook has some locked
messages, then release
some of them, etc.
After a little while, I can see that some of the messages have been closed,
cause I can now preview
the same message I couldn't a little while before, in the preview pane.
I tried using the .Close method, which results in no changes at all, except
for my screen being spammed
by:
MemberType : Method
OverloadDefinitions : {void Close (OlInspectorClose)}
TypeNameOfValue : System.Management.Automation.PSMethod
Value : void Close (OlInspectorClose)
Name : Close
IsInstance : True
