If that's the case Outlook is totally confused. GetDefaultFolder() will
always and only retrieve folders from your default PST file or Exchange
mailbox. It cannot retrieve folders from other mail stores that aren't the
default.

NameSpace.Folders has all your loaded PST files. You can iterate that
collection and its subfolders, etc. to find any loaded folder. The pattern
looks like this:
NameSpace.Folders.Item(1).Folders.Item("Inbox").Fo lders.Item("myInboxSubfolder"),
etc.

Firstly thank you very much for your quick reply, I really appreciate
it! I found out that this solution is almost there but not quite...

In my environment I have these Outlook folders:
\Personal Folders\
\Personal Folders\Deleted Items
\Personal Folders\Drafts
\Personal Folders\Inbox
\Personal Folders\Junk E-mail
\Personal Folders\Sent Items
...
\Archive Folders
\
\Inbox


\Junk E-mail
...
The latter is my default data file or whatever it is called.
Now Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderJunk) points to \Private Folders
\Junk E-mail
but the REAL Junk E-mail folder (i.e. the one that Outlook uses for
this account) is \Junk E-mail

How do I find the path to that?
