.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / VS Tools for Office / December 2006Oulook - Switch To Unread Mail Folder
I'm writing an Outlook Addin and I'd like to be able to force Outlook to switch to the Unread Mail folder - anyone know how I'd do this? TIA Get a handle to that folder as a MAPIFolder object and use ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = oFolder where oFolder is that folder.

Thanks, but is the 'Unread Mail' folder a MAPIFolder? If I look through every folder in Application.Session.Folders I don't seem to see it there. Do you know how to get a handle to that folder? TIA Is this a search folder? You can get to the Search Folders but except for Outlook 2007 you can't do it from the Outlook object model. You would need to use CDO 1.21 or Extended MAPI (C++ or Delphi), neither of which is supported for use in .NET code or a MAPI COM wrapper such as Redemption (www.dismastr.com/redemption). Outlook 2007 is the first object model for Outlook that let's you get to the Stores collection and down from there to the search folders.
