Hello,

I am using Exchange server and my outlook is linked to this exchange server
In my Favourites I have added (via outlook 2019) some public/Shared Folders which i can see all the emails synchronized.

But how can i get the actual path of my Public Folders linked to Favourites ?

If i navigate the Folders under Favourites, the Folder Path and FullPath show the path from Favourites.
But i want to know the actual path of the Public Folder. How can i do this?
I am using c# and its an Outlook Addin.

TIA
Savio
 
You're looking for this path using coding?
\\Public Folders - address\All Public Folders\Contacts\Opportunities

In Favorites it's
\\Public Folders - address\Favorites\Opportunities

If you don't know the actual path in All Public folders, you'd need to search for the folder - which means 'walking' the folders until you find a match.

I don't have C# code samples, only VBA sample - loops and finds a folder by name -

Find a Folder by its Name - VBOffice

Don't remember where to find a given folder? With this script you can find the folder by its name.

Thanks Diane,
VBA code is also fine. I can convert it to C#

Yes i want to know the actual associated Folder like
\\Public Folders - address\All Public Folders\Contacts\Opportunities

But i get only
\\Public Folders - address\Favorites\Opportunities

Searching through the public folders using the name is possible but what if i have duplicates? I mean 2 Folders with same name but different hierarchy ?

I am thinking it may be in headers and i need to use mapi/proptag Url for it.
Will update here once i have a solution.

please feel free to suggest if you have any idea.

Thanks once again
Savio
