How would I search through all the folders for a message when the folders
could be several layers deep?

Thanks,

Pete

You would have to use the Folders collection and search in that until
there were no more to search in.

Each MAPIFolder in the Folders collection has its own Folders
collection for subfolders. If there are no subfolders then that
Folders collection would have a .Count property equal to 0. If .Count

course each subfolder can have its own subfolders so you'd have to
search those collections also.

If you're using Outlook 2002 and the folders are all in your Exchange
mailbox or in a single PST file, you also have the option of using the
Search object and a DEEP traversal.
