Accessing 2nd exchange inbox from Outlook 2013 using VSTO

Question

Getting default inbox works like the following:

_outlookNameSpace = this.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI");
_inbox = _outlookNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox);

Now on the same lines, how do get the inbox for the other exchange account say "abc@corp.com" ?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Assuming the second mailbox is already in the profile, you need to find the appropriate account in the Namespace.Stores collection and call Store.GetDefaultFolder.

Otherwise you can call Namespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder.

Answer 2

I have a similar situation, where the 2nd account is identified by its .DisplayName property, which can be set in Account Setup. To find the Account, use:

var account = Globals.Addin.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
                .Accounts.Cast<Account>()
                .FirstOrDefault(a => a.DisplayName == "TargetDisplayName");

Then use Account.DeliveryStore to get access to the store and find the folder. .GetDefaultFolder gives you the folder:

DraftsFolder = (Folder) account.DeliveryStore.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderDrafts);
