This sounds as if there was no point at all to do anything with the eids. If I am not even allowed to compare two ids, how could they point at different mail items? The docs say: """ The PR_ENTRYID property identifies an object for OpenEntry to instantiate and provides access to all of its properties through the appropriate derived interface of IMAPIProp. """ I assume that means it is ok to store the eids and use them with OpenEntry to access the messages store's items.
