HOW TO: Open two PST files at once

[Joel Finkel]

Folks,

I have given up banging my bloodied head against the wall. Can someone please give me a code snippet that will allow me to access two PST files at once? I simply want to go through a Folder hierarchy in one and move all the MailItems into the same File hierarchy in the other. If a Folder in the destination does not exist, I will create it.

The Folder tree traversal is easy recursion. But I cannot seem to find any documentation on how to obtain handles to the two PST files.

Thanks in advance for all suggestions!

You can access top level root folders (be that each PST file, Exchange, etc)
using the Namespace.Folders collection.

Dmitry,

Why is it that whenever I have a question, you always seem to come up with
an easy answer for me )

Thanks.
