Navigating across Outlook 2003 Folders from C# program

[michel.kowalczyk]

Hi,

Coudn't figure this by my own
How to print to the console all outlook folders and mail subjects. I
was able to write a piece of code that prints the names of the main
folders but I don't know how to print subfolders and mails subjects.
Anyone ?? help.



My outlook foldertree looks like that:
Personal Files
Drafts
Inbox
Junk E-mail
Outbox
Sent Items
Some Folder
Nested Folder
Search Folders
Folders 2
Deleted Items
Hello
Search Folders


My code:

using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;

Outlook.Application oApp = new Outlook.Application();
Outlook.NameSpace oNS = oApp.GetNamespace("mapi");
oNS.Logon(Missing.Value, Missing.Value, false, true);

Outlook.MAPIFolder oIFolder = oNS.Folders.GetFirst();
Console.WriteLine(oIFolder.Name);
int nFolderCount = oNS.Folders.Count;
for (int p=1; p < nFolderCount; p++)
{
oIFolder = oNS.Folders.GetNext();
Console.WriteLine(oIFolder.Name);
}

TIA
Michal

p.s.

I use Outlook 2003
Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition
Microsoft XP Pro

I can't help you with the exact code since I don't do C#, but each folder has a Folders collection, so what you need to do is write a recursive procedure that takes a MAPIFolder as its argument, then iterates that MAPIFolder's Folders collection. For each MAPIFolder in the collection, call the recursive procedure to process the subfolders.
