It is possible to create folders (MAPIFolder) within the Personal
Folders collection. I learnt that it is also possible to create a top
level folder in the heirarchy, of the same level as Outlook Personal
Folders, with a piece of code like this:
Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").AddStore("MyPSTFile.pst")
However, there are two problems with this approach:
(1) The new folder always gets the name "Personal Folders" irrespective
of the new PST file you create. Can you have a personalized name for
this new store? How?
(2) The method AddStore is a sub-procedure and not a function. In
effect, it doesn't return a value, which one might expect, might be a
reference to the newly added folder collection. How do you get a
reference to the newly added store or folders collection?
(3) Unless you have a reference, you cannot change the name of the
newly created store. Even if we did have a reference, I see that you
cannot change the name of the collection (out of the code, i.e. not
programmatically) even in design mode if you clicked on the
context-menu, "Properties for Personal Folders".
