Hello,
I am running outlook with one main exchange mailbox and 3 other IMAP mailboxes. One of the IMAP mailboxes is generating various empty duplicate folders with '111....' etc as a suffix.

On the MS forum there is a solution to this provided by the owner of this forum, I believe which is a powershell script shown below.
***************************
$Outlook = New-Object -comobject "Outlook.Application"​
$MAPI = $Outlook.getnamespace(“mapi”)​
$Folder= $MAPI.GetDefaultFolder(6)​
# Delete subfolders that begin with the same keyword​
# This sample deletes folders at the same level as Inbox​
$SubFolder = $Folder.Parent.Folders | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "Archive1*"}​
$SubFolder | % {$_.Delete()}​
# End Delete folders​
# permanently delete subfolders from Deleted items folder​
$Deleted = $MAPI.GetDefaultFolder(3)​
$SubFolder = $Trash.Folders | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "Archive1*"}​
$SubFolder | % {$_.Delete()}​
# End permanently delete folders​
$olApp.Quit | Out-Null​
[GC]::Collect()​
*****************************
I would like to modify this script to target say the IMAP2 email in an outlook environment as shown below:
OUTLOOK​
->Exchange email​
->IMAP1​
->IMAP2​
->IMAP3​

I have various "X111...." type folders to delete but they are all at the same level as INBOX in that IMAP2 email.

Thanks in advance.
