Get reference to additional Inbox

Question

I\'m using Outlook 2007 - and have my main mailbox: Tait, Mark

I have also added another mailbox to my profile: Procurement, Request

Both appear as top level

Answer 1

Use Namespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder. It will work even if the mailbox is not opened in the current profile. You still need to have the right to open the mailbox and access the folder in question of course:

Set vNamespace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
set vRecipient = vNamespace.CreateRecipient("Procurement, Request")
if vRecipient.Resolve Then
  set vFolder = vNamespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder(vRecipient, olFolderInbox)
End If

If you need to open the other user's mailbox (with all off its folders), you can use Redemption and its RDOSession.GetSharedMailbox method:

 set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
 Session.MAPIOBJECT = Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT
 set Store = Session.GetSharedMailbox("Procurement, Request")
 set vFolder = Store.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
 MsgBox "The address of the mailbox owner: " & Store.Owner.Address
