Outlook - mailitem.copy is it possible to save a instance of the mail in the memory

Question

When I use mailItem2=mailItem.copy(); it creates a copy of mailitem in the inbox. I would like to ask if it is possible to create an instance of mailitem in memory without creating a copy in the Inbox.

Answer 1

A message cannot exist without a parent store or at least an MSG file.

Is saving the message as an MSG file an option? What exactly are you doing and why?

Answer 2

Just declare another MailItem variable and set it:

mailItem2 = mailtem;
