public:

public Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder GetDefaultFolder (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders FolderType);
Public Function GetDefaultFolder (FolderType As OlDefaultFolders) As MAPIFolder

Parameters

FolderType
OlDefaultFolders

The type of default folder to return.

Returns

A Folder object that represents the default folder of the requested type for the current profile.

Remarks

To return a specific non-default folder, use the Folders collection.

If the default folder of the requested type does not exist, depending on the type, Outlook may create and return the folder, or may raise an error. For example, if olFolderManagedEmail is specified as the FolderType but the Managed Folders group has not been deployed, Microsoft Outlook raises an error.
