XWEB: MAPI Message Property PR_PRIORITY Is Not Created with CDO

ID: Q235853

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Outlook Web Access, version 5.5

SUMMARY

When you send a message using Outlook Web Access (OWA), the MAPI field property PR_PRIORITY is not created. The message transfer agent (MTA) uses this field to elevate message priority. Without this field, the message is processed with normal priority through the MTA.

MORE INFORMATION

In Outlook 97 and Outlook 98, the PR_PRIORTY field is created when the user sets the PR_IMPORTANCE by means of the user interface (UI). The PR_PRIORTY field is not created in OWA because Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) do not support the creation of the PR_PRIORITY field as a result of setting the PR_IMPORTANCE. The following table shows the different states for the PR_IMPORTANCE and PR_PRIORITY fields.

Client Outlook/OWA Outlook OWA

LOW 0 -1 N/A

NORMAL 1 0 N/A

HIGH 2 1 N/A

Clients listed as Outlook in the above table include all versions of Outlook 97 and Outlook 98.
