I tried it with User property but that's not the right way. Those User Properties do not appear when I rightclick on a msg-file choose"Properties" and open "Custom". Please help me! Thank you so much!

Hi Eugene!
I want to set the property to an email (.msg file) so that the information is available outside of outlook.
