Using visual basic to access subfolder in Inbox?

Question

Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace(\"MAPI\")
Set myOlItems = objNS.GetDef         


        

Answer 1

And to drill further down, keep adding Set olFolder lines:

Set olFolder = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set olFolder = olFolder.Folders("temp")
Set olFolder = olFolder.Folders("temp2")
Set olFolder = olFolder.Folders("temp3")

Gets you to \Inbox\temp\temp2\temp3\

Answer 2

Thats very close :)

To get all the mail items in a folder called "temp" under the Inbox try this

Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim olFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem

Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olFolder = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set olFolder = olFolder.Folders("Temp")

For Each msg In olFolder.Items
    Debug.Print msg.Subject
Next

Answer 3

I found that there were some items in my inbox that were not mail items causing the script to halt. This little change allowed the script to keep running if something like a meeting invite is found:

Sub getmail()

Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.Namespace
Dim olFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder

'Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim InboxItem As Object

Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olFolder = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set olFolder = olFolder.Folders("temp")

For Each InboxItem In olFolder.Items
    Debug.Print InboxItem.Subject
    Debug.Print InboxItem.EntryID
Next

End Sub

Thanks for your answer! helped me a lot!
