Hello,

I'm trying to read messages from a pst in Outlook using Mail::Outlook but I can't seem to find a way to reach the right folder. If I remember well, it used to work on Outlook 2003 - now I have Outlook 2010 here, do you know if that makes any difference?

This is what I did:

use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Outlook';
use Mail::Outlook;

my $outlook1 = new Mail::Outlook();
my $folder1 = $outlook1->folder('Archive/Inbox');

die "Can't open mailbox\n" unless ($folder1);

[download]

And it always dies. Outlook is open, "Archive" is open, and it does have an "Inbox". I already checked and $outlook1 is not empty - I can print its keys, for example.

As I said, I believe I used the same code a few years ago to read messages from Outlook 2003.

Please help...

Thank you,

VMat
