C++/VB - Discover if the selected folder is a mail folder

Hello,

i want to discover if the selected folder is a mail folder. Therefore
i had a look at the Properties of the IMapiFolder with OutlookSpy.
For example in a Contactfolder there is the property
PR_CONTAINER_CLASS IPF.Contact
But in mail folders i cannot find anything which leads to the
conclusion that this is a mail folder.
How can i discover that?

Thanks in advance and greets Hans

  Dmitry Streblechenko replied to Hans Schmidt

If PR_CONTAINER_CLASS  is not set, assume IPF.Note.

DeleteMessages(soft delete) C++ / VB Hi. I can successfully delete a Imessage from outlook(hard delete), but I want to soft delete a IMessage with the IMapiFolder.DeleteMessages function.

Problem with IMAPITable returned from IMAPIFolder::GetContentsTabl C++ / VB This issue only happens in Outlook 2007, the code works fine in Outlook 2003. We have a folder created by a user under their Inbox. We get the IMAPIFolder interface via OpenEntry on the message store. I have confirmed the object type returned from that call is a folder (3). From the IMAPIFolder interface pointer, we call GetContentsTable(), which returns S_OK and fills up the IMAPITable pointer we an HRESULT of E_FAIL, which is very unusual. Any idea why this would work in Outlook 2003 and not in Outlook 2007?
