Outlook 2003 ItemAdd event does not execute sometimes

[hiteshgoldeneye]

Hi I have written some code to log mail details, using Outlook vba. I
have use the ItemAdd event, but to my surprise i saw that a couple of
mails did not get logged today during a particular time interval- I am
confused as to how this could happen, any ideas?

ItemAdd(), along with many other MAPI based events, won't fire if more than
16 items come in at once. That could be a possibility.

Is this reproducible at all, has it happened more than once?

Is it possible that your ItemAdd() handler is taking enough time to run its
code that subsequent ItemAdd() events might not fire?
