You cannot restrict on that property and besides, it's not exposed in the
Outlook object model. You can't restrict on any EntryID or GUID of that type
because in reality they aren't stored as a string value but are stored as
binary properties.

thank you for ure post , but there is no solution to convert the globalId to a string?

Sure, you can get it as a binary array and convert it to a string value.

You can't even access it unless you are using Outlook 2007 and use
PropertyAccessor or are using a lower level API such as CDO 1.21 or Extended
MAPI or Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption), otherwise it's inaccessible
to you.

No matter what you can't use it for an Outlook object model restriction. You
could use filter in Extended MAPI or Redemption on a MAPITable object or a
table filter in Outlook 2007, but not with the Outlook object model in
versions earlier than Outlook 2007.
