I am having trouble trying to select a subfolder in SharedMailbox.
I have read a number of resources on GetSharedDefaultFolder
.
However
You first resolve the owner as described here http://www.slipstick.com/developer/working-vba-nondefault-outlook-folders/
"You can use the mailbox owner's display name, alias, or email address when resolving the recipient."
Sub ListOutlookEmailInfoInExcel()
Dim olNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim olTaskfolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim olTask As Outlook.TaskItem
Dim olItems As Outlook.Items
Dim objOwner As Outlook.Recipient
Set olNS = GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objOwner = olNS.CreateRecipient("Shared Folder 1")
objOwner.Resolve
If objOwner.Resolved Then
Set olTaskFolder = olNS.GetSharedDefaultFolder(objOwner, _
olFolderInbox).Folders("admin")
Set olItems = olTaskFolder.Items
End If
End Sub
The GetSharedDefaultFolder method of the Namespace class accepts two parameters: a Recipient object and the FolderType value.
The How to: Display a Shared Calendar of a Recipient article provides the following sample code in C#:
private void DisplayManagerCalendar()
{
Outlook.AddressEntry addrEntry =
Application.Session.CurrentUser.AddressEntry;
if (addrEntry.Type == "EX")
{
Outlook.ExchangeUser manager =
Application.Session.CurrentUser.
AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser().GetExchangeUserManager();
if (manager != null)
{
Outlook.Recipient recip =
Application.Session.CreateRecipient(manager.Name);
if (recip.Resolve())
{
try
{
Outlook.Folder folder =
Application.Session.GetSharedDefaultFolder(
recip, Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderCalendar)
as Outlook.Folder;
folder.Display();
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show("Could not open manager's calendar.",
"GetSharedDefaultFolder Example",
MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}
}
}
}
}
