    Hello,

    Our application creates mailbox items of a custom message class. This class does not inherit e.g. from IPM.Note.

    Currently the Rule element in the manifest file for mail apps allows e.g.

    <Rule xsi:type="ItemIs" ItemType="Message" ItemClass="IPM.Note" IncludeSubClasses="true" />

    Even though the ItemClass attribute definition specifies a NonEmptyString, only IPM.Note and subclasses can be used as a value. The following rule did not work in my tests for an item of class IPM.ArchivedDocument:

    <Rule xsi:type="ItemIs" ItemType="Message" ItemClass="IPM.ArchivedDocument" IncludeSubClasses="true" />

    Is there any workaround / hidden configuration parameter that would allow such a Rule definition? Are there any changes planned in upcoming rollups or service packs?

    For our appliciation this means a major migration step as all existing items for the custom message class have to be changed to a message class that inherits from IPM.Note.

    Thanks!
