Finding other folders in Outlook

[Richard Ferguson]

Hi All,

I'm currently using the following code to access another Outlook 2000
mailbox (other than my own) to create new folders underneath. All works ok
so far.

Set mynamespace = Outlook.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set MailBox = mynamespace.CreateRecipient([email protected])
Set InboxFolder = mynamespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder(MailBox, olFolderInbox)
Set NewFolder = InboxFolder.Folders.Add("NewlyCreatedFolder")


However, this works ok for the default Inbox folder of this mailbox. I have
other folders manually created directly underneath the mailbox (when viewing
it in Outlook) eg, Calendar, Contacts, Sent Items etc, I have also added
folders such as Test, Procedures, Statistics at the same level. If these
folders were beneath the Inbox, I can find them no problem, but is there a
way to search and create folders up one level at the same heirarchial level
as Inbox, Contacts, Calendar, etc (hope this isn't too confusing.

Cheers,

Richard Ferguson.

Each folder has a Parent property representing its parent folder. Sounds
like you want to create folders in the Inbox's Parent.Folders collection.
