(The sound of one hand clapping). Hello there. I am importing PST files into Outlook, then copying them to a user's "Mailbox" folder. For testing purposes, I'm using four PSTs: test-pst-01.pst test-pst-02.pst test-pst-03.pst test-pst-04.pst Each PST has the following "Name" when individually opened and displayed in Outlook. Test PST 01 Test PST 02 Test PST 03 Test PST 04 First, I add one PST to the namespace: 
$objNameSpace = $namespace->AddStore(<PST>);

[download]
Then, I copy the PST to a "destination" folder under my Mailbox folder 
$new_obj = $objMapiFolder_Source->CopyTo($objMapiFolder_Dest);

[download]
The problem is that when I copy the "source" folder to the "destination" folder, it no longer shows as "Test PST 01" (or such). Instead, it shows as "Top of Personal Folders1". The only clue is that I have a PST named "Personal Folders" in my namespace. However, all of the "items" and/or subfolders from "Test PST 01" are there intact. Just the new folder name is screwy. I tried using the following syntax to re-name the folders one-by-one: 
$new_obj->Name("new folder name")

[download]
...which fails quietly And 
$new_obj->Name = "New folder name";

[download]
...which gives me an error stating "can't modify non-lvalue subroutine call". I'm at wits end.
