That´s a sampel for getting the Junk folder in OL 2003. If you use OL 2000
then you do not have that standard folder.

You need to know what folder you´re looking for. If it´s a subolder of the
Inbox e.g. then you could also write:

Dim Folder as Outlook.Folder
Dim Items as Outlook.Items

Set Folder=Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFold erInbox)
Set Folder=Folder.Folders("name")
Set Items=Folder.Items

Guten tag, Michael.

I am using Outlook 2003. The Spam folder is a folder under Personal Folders.
This code does not appear to find that folder, and thus it ends without doing
anything.

Danke,

Ariel

Hallo Ariel,

does the latter sample raise the same error? Where do you insert that code,
is it the module ThisOutlookSession (VBA) or a custom form (VBS)?

In VBS the constants are unknown, instead use their values directly; for
olFolderJunk it´s 23, for olFolderInbox it´s 11.

Here´s a samle for getting folders by their path:
