I have a requirement to create dynamic Email and send to respective user. After sending, that email need to be move the sent email to some custom folder. When moving giving error "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: 'The item has been moved or deleted.'"

What I have tried:

var inbox = outlookFormRegion.Application.ActiveExplorer().Session.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox);
MAPIFolder moveToFolder = inbox.Folders["Custom Tickets"];

var app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();
MailItem forwardMailItem = app.CreateItem(OlItemType.olMailItem);
forwardMailItem.Subject = "Ticket: 11254875";
forwardMailItem.Body = "Testing";
forwardMailItem.Send();
forwardMailItem.Move(moveToFolder);

Why are you creating a new application instance? I suspect you should replace:

var app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();

with:

var app = outlookFormRegion.Application;

Solution 1

I'd suggest to create a rule to move sended item to the specific folder: Move Sent Emails to a Specific Folder Automatically[^]

Another solution is to search for specific item in MAPI folder (Send Items), then to move it.
MailItem.Move method (Outlook) | Microsoft Docs[^]

Thanks for your quick reply. But, issue is that mails are moved to folders based on some conditions and it needs to be handled in C# as there are lots of users who are going to use it.
