Naming Folders by Using Character Strings

Applies to: Outlook 2013 | Outlook 2016

If you access one or more folders frequently during a session, consider assigning names to the folders with the IMsgStore::SetReceiveFolder method. Although IMsgStore::SetReceiveFolder is used primarily to establish special folders to receive incoming messages for particular message classes, it can also be used to associate any folder with a name. The name can be the same as the message class or it can be any character string, customized for your client's use. Associating a name with a folder decreases the time it takes to find and open the folder.
