How to: Enumerate Folders on All Stores

  • Article
Outlook Developer Reference

This topic shows a code sample that enumerates all folders on all stores for a session.

  1. The code sample begins by getting all the stores for the current session using the NameSpace.Stores property of the current session, Application.Session.
  2. For each store of this session, it uses Store.GetRootFolder to obtain the folder at the root of the store.
  3. For the root folder of each store, it iteratively calls the EnumerateFolders procedure until it has visited and displayed the name of each folder in that tree.

Remarks

To run this code sample, place the code in the built-in ThisOutlookSession module. Run the EnumerateFoldersInStores procedure:

  Sub EnumerateFoldersInStores()
    Dim colStores As Outlook.Stores
    Dim oStore As Outlook.Store
    Dim oRoot As Outlook.Folder
    
    On Error Resume Next
    Set colStores = Application.Session.Stores
    For Each oStore In colStores
        Set oRoot = oStore.GetRootFolder
        Debug.Print (oRoot.FolderPath)
        EnumerateFolders oRoot
    Next
End Sub

Private Sub EnumerateFolders(ByVal oFolder As Outlook.Folder)
Dim folders As Outlook.folders
Dim Folder As Outlook.Folder
Dim foldercount As Integer


On Error Resume Next
Set folders = oFolder.folders
foldercount = folders.Count
'Check if there are any folders below oFolder
If foldercount Then
    For Each Folder In folders
        Debug.Print (Folder.FolderPath)
        EnumerateFolders Folder
    Next
End If



End Sub
