Identifying folder type
 

Hi,

I have an outlook addin which archives mails into repository. But i want to
show our application specific settings based on the folder type.

i.e. Outlook shows exchange mailbox, other user mailbox (delegate), PST
files, Archive folders, Public folders etc. I want to show my application
settings in a context menu.

But i want to show it for only Exchange mailbox or Other User
Mailbox(delegate) folders. So How do I determine the folder type?

Thanks in Advance

Identifying folder type
 

Outlook version? What language? Are you using a MAPI helper such as
Redemption?

Use the DefaultItemType property of the MAPIFolder object. Look in the
Outlook VBA project's Object Browser Help for information on what each
folder's DefaultItemType would be. You'll get back a member of the
olItemType enum.
