)

Parameters

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IMailFolder. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Remarks

Note

Normally, an MessageExpunged event will be emitted for each message that is expunged.
