Remember, that in Outlook the "Outbox" is a very temporary folder. Items get placed in there when the user presses Send. Then the mail message is transmitted and the item is re-filed into the Sent Items folder.

This bit of code might help....

Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Set NameSpace = Outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = NameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(6)
' 6 = Inbox. 4 = Outbox. 5 = Sent Items
    MsgBox "Looking at the first item in " & myFolder
    Set myMsgs = myFolder.Items
    For Each myItem In myMsgs
        MsgBox "Message " & _
            myItem.To & " " & _
            myItem.Subject & " " & _
            myItem.Body & " " & _
            myItem.CreationTime & " " & _
            myItem.Sent
        Exit For
    Next
    
    For Each myItem In myMsgs
        myItem.Display
        Exit For
    Next

I have declared "MyItem" as an Outlook message, as then you can use the Object Browser in the VB development environment to see what other fields are possible.
