 … 

  

 Set inbox = Outlook.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder 

 Set items = inbox.items

  

 'Implement Unstructured Exception handle 

 On Error Resume Next 'should it encounter an error, it will proceed to the next item. 

 For Each item In items 

 If item.Class = olMail Then 

 Set mail = item 

  'creates a user property called “SCL Rating” and adds the property to the folder

 Set sclProp = mail.UserProperties.Add("SCL Rating", olText, True)

  'schema value for PR_CONTENT_FILTER_SCL

 strSCL = mail.PropertyAccessor.GetProperty("https://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x40760003") 

 sclProp.Value = strSCL 
mail.Save 

 'saves the prop to the mail item

 End If 

 Next 

 Set sclProp = Nothing 

 …

 End Sub
