Items.ItemAdd event for Outbox folder

In an Outlook addin I'm listening to Items.ItemAdd event for the Outbox folder, and I inspect every email that is added to Outbox. I'm wondering whether this is guaranteed to work at all times, as I'm afraid that the email will be sent and disappear from Outbox before I have a chance to access it.

is such scenario possible? or is ItemAdd works in a synchronous way so I can be sure the item is still in Outbox? (I guess yes, otherwise the IDispatch pointer in the ItemAdd callback might be invalid)

No, you should never touch any item in the Outbox folder - doing so will abort the message submission process.

Use the Application.ItemSend event instead.
