Store object (Outlook)
Represents a file on the local computer or a network drive that stores email messages and other items for an account in the current profile.
Remarks
A profile defines one or more email accounts, and each email account is associated with a server of a specific type. For an Exchange server, a store can be on the server, in an Exchange Public folder, or in a local Personal Folders File (.pst) or Offline Folder File (.ost). For a POP3, IMAP, or HTTP email server, a store is a .pst file.
Use the Stores and Store objects to enumerate all folders and search folders on all stores in the current session. Since getting the root folder or search folders in a store requires the store to be open and opening a store imposes an overhead on performance, you can check the Store.IsOpen property before you decide to pursue the operation.
If you use an Exchange server, you can access other explicit built-in Store properties for store characteristics such as ExchangeStoreType, IsCachedExchange, and IsDataFileStore. Use the PropertyAccessor object returned by Store.PropertyAccessor to access other store properties that are not exposed in the Outlook object model.
For more information on storing Outlook items in folders and stores, see Storing Outlook Items.
Example
The following code sample in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enumerates all folders on all stores for a session:
Sub EnumerateFoldersInStores()
Dim colStores As Outlook.Stores
Dim oStore As Outlook.Store
Dim oRoot As Outlook.Folder
On Error Resume Next
Set colStores = Application.Session.Stores
For Each oStore In colStores
Set oRoot = oStore.GetRootFolder
Debug.Print (oRoot.FolderPath)
EnumerateFolders oRoot
Next
End Sub
Private Sub EnumerateFolders(ByVal oFolder As Outlook.Folder)
Dim folders As Outlook.folders
Dim Folder As Outlook.Folder
Dim foldercount As Integer
On Error Resume Next
Set folders = oFolder.folders
foldercount = folders.Count
'Check if there are any folders below oFolder
If foldercount Then
For Each Folder In folders
Debug.Print (Folder.FolderPath)
EnumerateFolders Folder
Next
End If
End Sub
