read a mail from outlook from a sub folder

katsomo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am able to read a mail from the inbox. My actual requirement is to fetch a mail from a subfolder in Outlook by comparing the subject of the mail in the Sub-Folder with a predefined text.

use Mail::Outlook;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Outlook';
my $outlook = new Mail::Outlook();
my $folder = $outlook->folder('Inbox');
my $message = $folder->last();
my $text = $message->Subject();
my $text1 = $message->From();
print "From : $text1\n";
print "Subject : $text\n";

Using the code above I can read the subject and from address of the mail in the inbox. But I'd like to read a mail from the sub-folder. Please provide some tips.

by Sub-Folder i mean a folder that is created within the Inbox...folder method can read the mail in the parent folder, but not a sub or a child folder.	[reply]

I don't have Outlook here, but what does the `all_folders` method return? Is the folder you are looking for present in the return value? --MidLifeXis	[reply] [d/l]
