Filing Sent Entries in the Out Box (1/14/97)

Q: If a user has selected to file sent entries into a folder that has been deleted, my transport throws an exception when it calls ItemCompleted. Why is this problem occuring?

A: This is caused by a bug in ItemCompleted. To work around this, you should check to make sure the folder exists before calling ItemCompleted. If it does not exist, then set the transport's 'outboxFiling preference to nil. Here is a code example:
// This code assumes that the current receiver (self) is your transport
if NOT GetFolderStr( :GetConfig( 'outboxFiling ) ) then
    :SetConfig( 'outboxFiling, nil );
