in thread MS Outlook GetSharedDefaultFolder

I tried that, but $p2 is empty and doesn't return an error. I am able manually open the inbox (via Outlook) so I don't think it's a permission issue. In the past I have been able to read from Public folders, but this is the first time I've tried a shared inbox. I was hoping it would turn out to be a syntax issue, but I think the syntax is OK.

    Perhaps you should use Win32::OLE->LastError() instead of $! for a descriptive OLE error msg.

    $! is for perl errors not OLE, note that Win32::OLE->LastError() is context sensitive like $!.

    It reports the error number in numeric context and an error msg in string context

    I would even consider setting the Warn option to always croak, in normal situations like this

    Win32::OLE->Option(Warn => 3);

      Thanks for the tip. I used the LastError() and it returned

      OLE exception from "Microsoft Outlook": The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.
      Win32::OLE(0.1502) error 0x80004002: "No such interface supported"
