Root Folders for multiple mail boxes

[xjohnom]

Hello All,

I have been horsing around with this for a couple of days and I know the
solution is probably going to be embarrasingly obvious but here goes anyway,

My Outlook sign on has permission on a number of shared mailboxes. These
mailboxes are not configured in my Outlook application but their names are
stored in a database which I have access to.

I need to be able to get a collection of folders together that has all of the
Root folders for these mailboxes. I can then iterate through them and do the
gratifying functional stuff.

This is as far as I have got:

_Recipient = _Namespace.CreateRecipient("XXXXXXX");
_folder = _app.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetSharedDefaultFolder
(_Recipient, Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox);

However the folders I am after are at the same level as the inbox so while it
was encouraging to be able to see the inbox I still need to be able to move
up the hierarchy. I have been trying to use the .parent property of the
_folder object but no luck there even when I cast it to an Outlook.
MAPIFolder type.

Anybody put me out of my misery?

BTW some of the gratifying stuff involves creating objects in these folder
programmatically.

I don't think you can do that in Outlook unless you add the mailboxes in
question first as delegate mailboxes.
<plug>
You can use Redemption (url below) for that - see
RDOSession.GetSharedMailbox (use RDOStore.IPMRootFolder) and
RDOSession.Stores.AddDelegateExchangeMailBoxStore
</plug>
