I'm trying to retrieve the IMAPIFolder interface from a MAPIFolder reference I got via OOM. AFAICT from the various examples I've found so far, the following should work: function ExtFolderFromOOMFolder(const AOOMFolder: MAPIFolder; const ASession: IMAPISession; out AExtFolder: IUnknown): HRESULT; var lFolderId: String; lItemType: Cardinal; begin lFolderId := HexToBinStr(AFolder.EntryID); Result := ASession.OpenEntry(Length(lFolderId), PENTRYID(PChar(lFolderId)), IMAPIFolder, MAPI_BEST_ACCESS, lItemType, AExtFolder); end; Unfortunately it never does. It always just returns E_FAIL. :( I'm trying this with Outlook 2000 against an Exchange 2000 server (that's why I'm not just using the MAPIOBJECT property in case you wondered). HexToBinStr is a utility function that Dmitry once posted for converting the hex string representation into a char array. This works alright in other instances. I have no problem opening the folder via the EntryID obtained from the MAPIFolder using OutlookSpy... Any hints or ideas?

You need to call it before any other MAPI calls.

You need to call it before any other MAPI calls. Yes, I did call it. In fact, even though I still don't know why this doesn't work, the problem has by now solved itself for me. What I was effectively trying to do was read an extended MAPI property (PR_ADDRESS_BOOK_ENTRYID) of the folder using Redemption's MAPIUtil.HrGetOneProp method. I had simply missed that I could simply pass the MAPIFolder reference directly to that method, I didn't need the IMAPIFolder reference at all in order to accomplish this. Still curious why this failed, though...

Note that if you have never opened the folder's parent message store in that session, open entry can and will fail. This is especially true for the objects from non-default stores. Try to open the parent store first (IMAPISession.OpenMsgStore), then open the folder through the store (IMsgStore.OpenEntry rather than IMAPISession.OpenEntry) Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP) http://www.dimastr.com/ OutlookSpy - Outlook, CDO and MAPI Developer Tool "Oliver Giesen" <NO.ogware.SPAM (AT) gmx (DOT) ALLOWED.net.INVALID> wrote Quote: I'm trying to retrieve the IMAPIFolder interface from a MAPIFolder reference I got via OOM.

Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder In this case, it was a public folder on an Exchange server.

Try to open the parent store first (IMAPISession.OpenMsgStore), This does indeed already happen immediately before the code piece that was causing the error (I'm checking for the mailbox owner). Quote: then open the folder through the store (IMsgStore.OpenEntry rather than IMAPISession.OpenEntry) Thanks, I will keep that in mind when I next stumble across something similar.
