Re: VB6 Getting outlook folder

You can use the Namespace.GetDefaultFolder method to return any mailbox default folder as a MAPIFolder object. Otherwise, you can use the code at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getfolder.htm to walk the folder hierarchy and return the MAPIFolder corresponding to a given path string.

Are you interested in writing a client application that each user will use or a server application with no client component? If you're writing a client application, whether the users run Outlook through Citrix or have Exchange accounts is largely irrelevant. Note that CDO is not installed by default on clients, but can be added.

What is annoying is that you apparently have not learned how to use the object browser (F2 in VBA), Outlook developer Help, or the Microsoft Knowledge Base to look up such basics as the names of objects and collections. Each Outlook MAPIFolder collection has an Items collection. The MSKB has a detailed article on how to write code to work with Items and Folders, to supplement the articles in Help.

CDO would be faster for processing large numbers of items, but would be subject to Outlook security prompts.
