Default Create a new folder in PST/OST which behaves like special folder(e.g Inbox/RSS feeds)

Hi All,

We have created an Outlook addin application using VSTO SE(Outlook
Object Model 2007), Outlook 2007.
This addin, on load, creates a new folder in the default delivery
location (pst/ost) and associates a web view(html page) with it.

The requirement is that the Outlook user must not be able to delete,
rename or move this folder
just like RSS feeds/Inbox.

In most cases Outlook account will be that of Exchange Server.

Is it possible to do this with OOM \MAPI\CDO ?
Also if its not an exchange account, is it possible?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
TT

Not possible at all. A user always owns his own folders and can do anything
they like with them as long as they aren't the default folders (Inbox,
etc.).

With Outlook 2007, though, you could use the new, cancellable Folder.BeforeFolderMove event to watch for the user's deletion and cancel it.
