Hello. I want to populate a worksheet with my Outlook inbox content (all 2007
versions with Vista). I get erros on invalid params on olFolderInbox as
indicated in code below. (I sometimes get erros on creating the initial app
object, but not as often). BTW, I run this code from Excel, and I have
created ref to outlook library.

Sub getMail()

Dim ol As Outlook.Application
Dim ns As Namespace
Dim folder As MAPIFolder
Dim ws As Worksheet

Dim i As Integer



Set ol = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set ns = ol.GetNamespace("MAPI")
ns.Logon

'errors about parameter value not valid on next line:

Set folder = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderIndox)

Set ws = Worksheets("Receive Mail")

For i = 1 To folder.Items.Count
With folder.Items(i)

ws.[A1].Offset(i, 0) = .SenderName
ws.[A1].Offset(i, 1) = .SenderEmailAddress
ws.[A1].Offset(i, 2) = .Subject
ws.[A1].Offset(i, 3) = .Size
ws.[A1].Offset(i, 4) = .ReceivedTime
ws.[A1].Offset(i, 5) = .Left(.Body, 100)

End With
Next i


ns.Logoff
Set ol = Nothing

End Sub
 
Look at that problem statement again to find the typo. It doesn't say
olFolderInbox at all.
 
Dang. This is why I should type everyting in lower cases, to help me find
these errors. This time, I probably didn't do this.

Thanks much. My code words now.
