Access to Outlook data files
We archive old email in PST files to get them off exchange. if a user has
several mailbox's open it's no problem to get access to their folders via GetSharedDefaultFolder, however if a user has an outlook data file open (PST) i can't see a way to get access to it via GetSharedDefaultFolder, i can't resolve the name. should this be possible? Thanks, Steve |

No, it's not possible. You would instead use the Namespace.AddStore method to open the .pst file. Note, though, that Microsoft supports only ..pst files on local drives, not network access.

See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=84 for a code sample. Note that AddStore would be used to open a .pst file that the user is not already using. For one already in use in the current profile, you'd access it as you would any other store or non-default folders -- through the Namespace.Folders collection.
