You can monitor the FolderAdd and FolderRemove events.
 
Hi,

FolderAdd and FolderRemove works fine for an unique folder like
inbox....etc. I'm looking on a way to monitor drag and drop from any
where to one folder.

Do you mean dragging items in a folder? Actually there´s no event in OL for
d&d neither for folders nor for items.

What I could think of would be to subclass the mouse events: If the mouse is
being moved while the left button is pressed then you could store which
item(s) is/are selected in which folder. If you then get an ItemAdd event in
any folder then that would almost indicate the d&d operation. But only
almost because there´s still one problem: Before the ItemAdd raises you have
to let go of the left mouse button - and that state usually means: no d&d
operation.

Maybe that could be solved with a timer: If an ItemAdd occurs within x ms
after you let go of the mouse then consider it a d&d.
 
I want to monitor only folder move. Mouse events could be a solution
for it, i'm thinking on using CommandBar event OnUpdate combined with
MouseUp. I'll try to go forward on that road.

Best,
Jean
