Read up on this page for accessing folders in outlook using C#. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310244[^]

Just because we can; does not mean we should.

Thanks for your help, I had already visited that and tried below Outlook._Application olApp = new Outlook.ApplicationClass(); Outlook._NameSpace olNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");Outlook._Folders oFolders; oFolders = olNS.Folders; Outlook.MAPIFolder oPublicFolder = oFolders.Item("Public Folders"); oFolders = oPublicFolder.Folders; Outlook.MAPIFolder oAllPFolder = oFolders.Item("All Public Folders"); oFolders = oAllPFolder.Folders; Outlook.MAPIFolder oMyFolder = oFolders.Item("My Public Folder"); Console.Write(oMyFolder.Name); But it is not working giving an error at oFolders.Item("Public Folders"); :(

Cut and paste from the page linked above. " Folders object - You can use the Folders object to refer to any folder that is in the Outlook folder list. The Folders object is typically used to refer to a Microsoft Exchange folder or to any other folder that is not a default Outlook folder. The following sample code illustrates how to refer to a public folder that is named My Public Folder. Notice that you typically start at the top-most folder and then work your way down to the folder that you have to reference. Also notice that the folder names are case-sensitive. You must exactly match the capitalization and the names as they appear in the Outlook folders list. " I'd double check this.

I read that but I got error before that and am yet to reach there. Outlook._Application olApp = new Outlook.ApplicationClass(); Outlook._NameSpace olNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");Outlook._Folders oFolders; oFolders = olNS.Folders; Outlook.MAPIFolder oPublicFolder = oFolders.Item(); oFolders.Item is not defined thats what it says me.

Lets assume I have a folder named "SPAM". I'd write that line like: Outlook.MAPIFolder oPublicFolder = oFolders.Item("SPAM"); Maybe I'm not understanding you correctly....If thats the case, I'll leave it to someone else.

You are almost there! :) What i mean is when we write Outlook.MAPIFolder oPublicFolder = oFolders.Item("SPAM"); when i write oFolders and press ".", i don't see "Item", means oFolders doesn't have a definition of "Item" and it throws me error there itself. Specifing the folder name "SPAM" will be checked in the next step. Hope you are getting me now. Appreciate and Thanks a million to you!

OK, I get you now. Try this out and see what you get for folder names or just refer to the folder by index. Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._Application olApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass(); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._NameSpace olNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI"); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._Folders oFolders; oFolders = olNS.Folders; for (int i = 0; i < oFolders.Count; i++) { Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder oPublicFolder = oFolders[i].; Console.Write(oPublicFolder.Name); }

Thanks for that, but it gave me out of index error, but i just twisted your code somewhat and this is what i did and got the folder details i need. Outlook.Application OApp = new Outlook.ApplicationClass(); Outlook.NameSpace ns = OApp.GetNamespace("MAPI"); Outlook.MAPIFolder inbxfld = ns.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox); Outlook.MAPIFolder prsnlfldr = ns.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox); Outlook.Folders pfldr = ns.Folders; Console.WriteLine(pfldr.Count); foreach(Outlook.MAPIFolder fld in pfldr) { Console.WriteLine(fld.Name); } Thanks a million for your help and getting me out of this :) Now I am going a step further! Btw, liked your line "Just because we can; does not mean we should."
