Last question, hopefully! Now that I am able to add the folder, is there any
way to associate a different icon with it? thanks for your help.

I finally got it to work with the following (seems you can't use the named
value from the OlDefaultFolders enum, you have to use an actual #)

Outlook._Application olApp = OutlookApp;
Outlook._NameSpace olNs = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");
// adds to root level
olNs.Folders.Item(1).Folders.Add("Archive Search", 6);
//olNs.Folders.Item(1).Folders.Add("Test Folder",
Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox);

IN RDO that would be either
set Folder =
RDOSession.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Parent. Folders.Add("Test Tasks",
olFolderTasks)
or
set Folder = RDOSession.Stores.DefaultStore.IPMRootFolder.Folde rs.Add("Test
Tasks", olFolderTasks)

Yes, based on name, and it seems easy enough I guess even without
Redemption
code, but is it possible to add a folder on the same level as Inbox, i.e.,
att the Namespace level? Something like
Outlook._Namespace.Folders.Add("newfolder", ???) but what Object type to
give it? I've tried it with defaultInbox type, but get a generic
"couldn't
complete the operation" Exception.

Is it even possible to add a folder at that level?

Folders.Add Method:
// TODO: Add code here to start the application.
Outlook._Application olApp = new Outlook.ApplicationClass();
Outlook._NameSpace olNs = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");
Outlook.MAPIFolder oTasks =
olNs.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olF olderTasks);
Outlook.Folders oFolders = oTasks.Folders;
Outlook.MAPIFolder oPersonalTasks = oFolders.Add("Personal
Tasks",Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderTasks);
Console.Write(oPersonalTasks.Name);

Search in what sense? Based on name? Parent? Or...?
In general, you can start with RDOStore.IPMRootFolder (where RDOSrore is
returned by RDOSession.Stores colelection or
RDOSession.Stores.DefaultStore)
and recursively loop through all the subfolders of the RDOFolder.Folders
collection.

I need a way to loop through the folders in the current user's
(Exchange)
mailbox. I will be searching in particular for a folder that I need to
be
there, and if it is not, I need to create it. Is this possible through
the
Redemption objects? If so, can anyone point me towards some sample
code?
Thanks very much.
