how to refer to a service mail box

[sparkle_guy]

I have written the following code to count and then loop through the items
in my inbox
Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Set objNS = objOL.GetNameSpace("MAPI")

Set objFolder = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(6)

num = objFolder.items.Count

I have also added to my outlook another mail box set up or our exchange
server. I can see it as a separtate mail box on my folder list.

I'd like to count the items in that too can anyone tell me how to refer to
it in a similar way to the above.

Thanks in advance Paul

Use the Namespace.Folders collection - it includes all top level folders in
all stores.

Thanks for the reply my problem is I dont know how to
refer to the other folders. The mail box is shown in my
folder list as Mailbox _GBPA Service ZT and then has the
same structure as my Outlook today mail box. I want to
refer to the Inbox in _GBPA Service ZT folder.
Thanks in advanvce

PMJI, but what Dmitry is saying is that you need to walk the folder
hierarchy using the Folders collections, starting with Namespace.Folders.
The top level folder of that mailbox is objNamespace.Folders("Mailbox - GBPA
Service ZT"), and that folder itself has a folder collection. You can either
take it from there, getting each subfolder by name in turn, or use a
function that does that for you. See
