Hello,
First excuse me if my English language is not perfect.

I have made in my Outlook a tree-structure like on my PC, that means there
are a lot of folders in my Outlook.

In a lot of these folders there is the permission set for e.g. Anonymous.

WHAT I WANT IS:
- Create an VB-script or Macro that:
a. sets the property Permission for Name= Default to Level= None
sets the property Permission for Name= John S to Level= Folder
Visible
b. Repeats sentence for all the folders which are created under the
current folder.

For example I give you a part of my folders in Outlook:
- INBOX
- INBOX Educ
- INBOX OI
- INBOX UNI
- ASSESSMENT
- BLOCK
- SKILLS
- PROGRESS

So, if the current folder is 'INBOX' I want that the script ends after
'INBOX UNI'

I hope someone can help me to create a macro or script.
Thank you in advance,
Guus

Unfortunately, it's not that easy. You cannot do this with Outlook VBA, you
need to use CDO 1.21. You also need ACL.dll, which is not usually present on
most computers. It is part of the Platform SDK and must be compiled and
distributed with your solution. However, you can download it via a link in
this blog:

MS Exchange Blog : Setting calendar permissions centrally...:
http://hellomate.typepad.com/exchang...g_calenda.html

If you'd like more awesome sample code on using the ACL component, there's
more he

Here's an example as well that you can mine to do what you need to do:

plugYou can also set permissions using Redemption through the
RDOFolder.ACL collection -
