Re: Checking type of a MAPIFolder

Thanks, in the end it ws a syntax problem.. I'm having some quite silly days lately :P thanks!

By the way.. I've created a new .pst with a contacts folder there, but when I create a new contact like this...

MSOutlook.ContactItem contact = null;
contact = (MSOutlook.ContactItem)Globals.GRAAddIn.Application.CreateItem(MSOutlook.OlItemType.olContactItem);

.... I get the contact added to the contacts folder on the original .pst... is the a way to change this, or to change the default contacts folder?

Thanks a lot!
Pablo

MAPIFolder.DefaultItemType. It returns a 32-bit int that's a member of the OlItemType enum, for contacts you're looking for olContactItem which has a value of 2.

Hi all,

I'm trying to iterate thru all the MAPIFolders in my personal store and get the contacts one. How could I get the 'type' of a folder (say if it is a contacts folder, or an inbox, etc...)? Thanks a lot!

Best Regards!
Pablo
