accessing an item from a public folder

[Software Solutions]

How do I read a postitem stored ni a public folder through Outlook Object
Model.
I have a C# COM Add-In that reads this item and update's its cache.

trying to do
NameSpace.getDefaukltFolder.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olPublicFoldersAllPublicFolders).folders("subfolder").items.getfirst() doesn't work

Look at the folder list. Do you see your "subfolder" under All Public
Folders? No, the minimum hierarchy would be Public Folders\All Public
Folders\subfolder. You need to walk the *entire* hierarchy down the your
folder using the Folders collection for each level.

How do I access the top level container which is "Public Folders"?
I though by using
NameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olPublicFoldersAllPublicFolders)
I will get the "All Public Folders" folder under the "Public folders"
container. Is this still correct?
jey

Where does your subfolder sit in the hierarchy? Is it a top-level folder?

In my outlook folder view I see public folders -> all public folders -> then
my "sub folder"
--jey

OK, that sounds right. What does GetDefaultFolder return? (Best practice in
Outlook is to get each object separately.)
