I have a folder that has a mix of Post Items and Mail Items.
How can i iterate through all the items in the folder and find the type so
that i can take action based on that type

just iterate and use a safe cast or if statement to test the object.

roughly (roughly means the code will not compile as written)

dim oresult
for each oresult in Outlook.items
if oresult.gettype().name == "mailitem"
end if

end if
