Outlook communication with VB5/6

[joshuaguilty]

When I open the Outlook 2002/3 on any computer, there is a name besides the "Mailbox - xxxxx", is there a way to obtain this name when running a VB object !? I have searching like "GetDefaultFolder" and it is still not successful. Thanks.

is this from the account settings within Outlook - so the MAPI space is "Mailbox" and Outlook just puts the account name on the end for display purposes??

It is within Outlook. Thanks.

what I am saying is that Outlook may just append the name of the account to the MAPI space "Mailbox" so in your code the GetDefaultFolder method will just return "Mailbox

Thanks. I would do more testing.

try the UserName property of the MAPI session object
