I'm trying to access a shared inbox that I have full permissions. I am unable to read the folder. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Variant; #Needed for ReceivedTime constant.
$Outlook=Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application');
$namespace = $Outlook->GetNameSpace("MAPI");
if ($recipient = $namespace->CreateRecipient("inboxname")) {
    print "OK\n";
} else {
    print "$!\n";
}

if ($recipient->Resolve) {
    print "Resolved\n";
} else {
    print "$!, unable to resolve\n";
}
if ($p2 = $namespace->GetSharedDefaultFolder($recipient,6)) {
# The code fails here
    print "OK2\n";
} else {
    print "$!, Code fails here, does not return an error\n";
}
