Hi,
I'm trying to write a tool, which is able to find the exact Location
(full pathname (e.g. c:\Testfolder\PersonalFolder.pst)) of an
PST-File.
I need this for a whole company (so no chance of clicking it
manually....), so my idea was to use MAPI for this project.
The Problem is, that I don't find any documentation about this, only
how to ADD a personal Folder with the Outlook-Object.

I need this, because Outlook 2K3 doesn't save the folderpath in the
registry under the "messaging-Subsystem"-Key/Path.

So if you have a solution for this problem, please help me.

Is this only for Outlook 2003? MAPIFolder in Outlook 2003 has FolderPath and
hidden FullFolderPath properties you can use directly. In the case of
finding a PST path you can get Inbox.Parent and use one of those path
properties.
 
Thanks for that hint.
Yeah, and we have only this problem with OL 2003. With OL XP or older
we just have to read out the registry of the clients to get the right
Folderpath...
