OUtlook UDF _OutlookFolderAdd

[HighlanderSword]

Hello,

Im using the outlook udf and am having issues when adding folders, I took the example

#Include "C:\Work Data\Downloads\outlook\Outlook.au3"

$oOutlook = _OutlookOpen()

$xx = _OutlookFolderAdd($oOutlook,$olFolderInbox & "\Old\Missing\")

The code snippet only creates the Old folder and NOT the subfolder underneath it ( Missing).

I also want to be able to specify what PST folder to use to create the new folders in, so for example I have an opened PST in Outlook named examples,

So How would I add the \Old\Missing folders to the root of the Example pst folder I have opened.

I tried doing

$xx = _OutlookFolderAdd($oOutlook,"Examples\Old\Missing\")

$xx = _OutlookFolderAdd($oOutlook,"\Examples\Old\Missing\")

$xx = _OutlookFolderAdd($oOutlook,"\\Examples\Old\Missing\")

All failed with error code of 2 - inidcating it could not find the root folder"

Please let me know if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks

Paul

Have you tried to split

$xx = _OutlookFolderAdd($oOutlook,$olFolderInbox & "\Old\Missing\")

in 2 lines ? like

$xx1 = _OutlookFolderAdd($oOutlook,$olFolderInbox & "\Old\")

$xx2 = _OutlookFolderAdd($oOutlook,$olFolderInbox & "\Old\Missing\")

as technically those are 2 folders you want to create.

Hello,

Yes that will create the 2 folders.

Is there any way ti specify the PST folder to place it in ?

There is a way but it is complicated and you will have to use CDO.

It is not possible with the Outlook udf. You can check the CDO methods like:

$objSession = ObjCreate("MAPI.Session")
$objSession.Logon("","",False,False)
$objInfoStores = $objSession.InfoStores
FOR $element IN $objInfoStores
        $objTopFolder = $element.RootFolder
    $FolderID = $element.ID
    $Folders = $element.RootFolder.Folders
    ConsoleWrite($element.ID&@CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite($element.Name&@CRLF)
NEXT

This will get the ID's and Name's of all inbox's and pst's.

You will need to have CDO installed. I have installed it from here:
