Pointing to the different folder

Hello,

I have a macro that looks at my inbox and saves all of the emails as

HTML and attachments to a specific folder. The problem I have with this

macro is that I cannot figure out a way to point that macro at another

folder, other than the default inbox.

I would like to have the macro look into another shared mailbox I have

under my account. Here's what I think points the macro into my default

inbox folder:

Dim inBox As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Set inBox = Me.ActiveExplorer(). _

Session.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders _

> olFolderInbox)

The team mailbox would be "TCW" and the folder would be "IR".

Thank you in advance!
 
What you need is NameSpace.GetSharedDefaultFolder(). You supply it with the

alias and folder.

If the mailbox is already loaded in your profile on startup you can iterate

the Stores collection in Outlook 2007 and find that mailbox (Store) and get

the folder using Store.Folders.Item("IR"). If this is Outlook 2003 or

earlier it would be NameSpace.Folders.Item("IR"). That's assuming the folder

is at the same hierarchical level as Inbox.
 
I found this code on another forum which was written by you, Ken; but

I'm not sure how to modify it to have the script look into a folder

other than the Inbox. I am attempting to look in a folder ("IR") that is

on the same hierarchical level as Inbox. Here's the code:

Dim inBox As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Dim oRecip As Outlook.Recipient

Dim oNS As Outlook.NameSpace

Dim oSubFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Set oNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")

Set oRecip = oNS.CreateRecipient("TCW")

oRecip.Resolve

If oRecip.Resolved Then

Set inBox = oNS.GetSharedDefaultFolder(oRecip, olFolderInbox)

Set oSubFolder = inBox.Folders("IR")

Set inBox = Store

If Not (oSubFolder Is Nothing) Then

MsgBox "Item 1 = " & oSubFolder.Items.Item(1).Subject

Else

MsgBox "Could not get folder"

End If

End If
 
You cannot use GetSharedDefaultFolder() to get at anything but a default

folder. If your custom folder is under Inbox say, you can get Inbox using

that method and then get Inbox.Folders.Item("whateverName"), but if it's at

the same hierarchical level as Inbox then you wouldn't be able to do that

and you'd have to use the other method I indicated.
 
Ok, so to implement the method that you mentioned earlier, I'm not sure

what do I need to change in this code. Can you please give me a tip?

Thank you!:)

Dim inBox As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Dim oRecip As Outlook.Recipient

Dim oNS As Outlook.NameSpace

Dim oSubFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Set oNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")

Set oRecip = oNS.CreateRecipient("TCW")

oRecip.Resolve

If oRecip.Resolved Then

Set inBox = oNS.NameSpace.Folders.Item("NAV")

Set inBox = Store

If Not (oSubFolder Is Nothing) Then

MsgBox "Item 1 = " & oSubFolder.Items.Item(1).Subject

Else

MsgBox "Could not get folder"

End If

End If

Since you never mentioned where in the tree hierarchy of that mailbox the

folder of interest is I can't really show you code that's definitely

appropriate.

Assuming the folder is a top level folder at the same level as Inbox you'd

use something like this:

Dim oNS As Outlook.NameSpace

Dim TCW As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Dim IR As Outlook.MAPIFolder

Set oNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")

Set TCW = oNS.Folders.Item("Mailbox - TCW")

Set IR = TCW.Folders.Item("IR")

That assumes the other mailbox is being opened as part of your Outlook

profile, otherwise the code wouldn't work.
 
YAY, it worked.... I was able to customize that code snippet to fit my

needs. Thank you! Bg:)
