How to create folder using Outlook Object Model?

[Dkds.Naidu]

Hi folks,

I am developing ATL COM Addin for Microsoft Outlook. Everything
works fine. I mean creating tool bar, getting selected items and moving
mails from one folder to another folder. But How to create one new folder via
Outlook Object Model?

I can create folder using MAPI. I need to create a folder in OnConnection
method.

How?

Thanks in advance.

Use the MAPIFolder.Folders.Add method.

Sorry, but I know only VB techniques. I can see, though, that your code below refers to no folders at all. If you want to create a folder under the one that's currently visible, then the parent folder would be ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder and you would use the Add method on its Folders collection.

Either move them to the Deleted Items folder and then delete them from that folder or use CDO 1.21, instead of the Outlook object model, to delete them.

Yes. You are correct. we can folder via folders->add(desired folder); from
NameSpace(session).

I did.It works fine.
