Represents a remote item in an Inbox (mail) folder. The RemoteItem object is similar to the MailItem object, but it contains only the Subject, Received Date and Time, Sender, Size and the first 256 characters of the body of the message. It is used to give someone connecting in remote mode enough information to decide whether or not to download the corresponding mail message.
Using the RemoteItem Object
