Fixing RDO Error (Exchange) When Trying to Move an Email

I’m using Python win32 stuff to automate some Exchange tasks. This is an issue I ran into.

Here’s my one-way email correspondence with the authors that lists the error and how I fixed it:

This turned out to be a permissions issue. Sorry for the bother.

Hi there,

I’m trying to use the RDOMail object’s Move method:

Move(DestFolder)
Moves message to a new folder.
DestFolder - The destination folder (RDOFolder object).
Returns the new message (RDOMail object) in the destination folder.

However I am getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File ““, line 1, in ?
File “>”, line 2, in Move
com_error: (-2147352567, ‘Exception occurred.’, (0, ‘Redemption.RDOMail’, ‘Error in IMAPITable.FindRow(PR_SEARCH_KEY): MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND’, None, 0, -2147221233), None)

I’m simply calling e.Move(rdoFolder)

Where e is an email message and rdoFolder is an RDO folder of the folder I want to move the message to. Let me know if it would help to see my code.

Thanks in advance for the help.

How to Show Empty Table Cells in IE and Firefox

Just use something like this in your CSS styes:

table {
empty-cells:show;
border-collapse:collapse;
}

empty-cells works in Firefox, and border-collapse unintuitively works in IE to not collapse the cells.

How to Add Bookmarklets to your iPhone

Build yourself a hyperlink out of some webpage with this URL http://soft-use.com/inst.html? followed by the code for the bookmarklet.

Here’s an example of how the begining of the new URL would look:
http://soft-use.com/inst.html?javascript:location.href=...

Click the link on from you iPhone, bookmark the resulting page, and then edit the URL in the new bookmark to erase everything before the “javascript:”.

This page has some handy, ready-to-bookmark bookmarklets for your iPhone.

iPhone Wi-Fi Tips You’ll Wish You Read

Here are the problems and questions I had connecting my iPhone to my WEP encrypted Wi-Fi network.

How do you know if the iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network? (Wi-Fi Status)

At the top left corner of the screen there will be an E when you are connected to the Edge network, and a little fan looking symbol when you are connected via Wi-Fi.

What is this message: “you must connect to a Wi-Fi network to access the iTunes store”?

For me I really wasn’t connected via Wi-Fi when I got this. See above question.

I’m connected via Wi-Fi but no pages will load.

For me I had put in the wrong password. The iPhone doesn’t tell you and pretends it’s connected even with a bad password.

How do I enter the password for a WEP Wi-Fi network?

Very carefully! Use the hex version of your WiFi password and use lowercase for the letters. Keep trying if it’s not connecting. I was positive I had entered correctly, but I guess it’s easy to mess up a key and not realize it on that little keyboard, so I started over many times. Finally on the fifth try it worked.

Further reading:

Here’s a useful thread with hundreds of iPhone Wi-Fi problems and a couple of additional solutions to try.

A few more tips.
