Specify A Folder to Search for Items

[Guest]

I want to develop a routine that will go to a specific folder name (e.g. "Pending" as a subordinate folder to the Inbox folder) and loop through all the email items in there

How do I specify this folder in the search? I'm new to VB programming and have spent several hours at the Outlook XP Object model site on MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vbaol10/html/oltocObjectModelApplication.asp?) but cant seem to figure it out.

To get a non-default folder, you need to walk the folder hierarchy using the Folders collections or use a function that does that for you. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/code/getfolder.htm

See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/code/getfolder.htm for a way to get a
MAPIFolder when you know its name. Once you have the folder you can
get its Items collection and then iterate that collection. If you are
moving or deleting items make sure to use a count-down loop or the
loop index counter will get itself confused: For i = oItems.Count To 1
