Hi,
Is there a way to create an invisible folder in C# outlook 2007 that
can be shared among all users?.
The reason for this is im trying to store some specific information
that needs to be globally available..to all users..(eg: config
settingss...) .... soan ivisible folder with these properties will do
the trick right??

Any suggestions or help is really appreciated !

Thanks!
 
Not really, no. For Outlook 2007 you'd be best off using a StorageItem
(hidden item) in the Inbox of each mailbox.

So we need to do this for every inbox of users across an orgranization
if im not mistaken???

Thanks,

Yes from Extended MAPI or Redemption, not from the Outlook Object Model I
don't think.

I've never had any success creating a hidden item in a public folder using
StorageItem. I get an error that the folder is read-only or doesn't support
hidden items. Since I can do it using Redemption I assume it's locked down
by Outlook for public folders.
 
Ah, now my memory kicks in. I think you're right about StorageItem being
unavailable in public folders. Too bad.

It's a totally artificial limitation, since RDO can create a hidden item in
a PF.
