    The way I did it is to first use OutlookSpy utility to get the
    FolderId and the InfoStoreId of the toplevel folder. There are other
    ways, but this was the easiest for me. Then you can use
    GetFolderFromID to create a Outlook.MapiFol der object. From there you
    can traverse the tree, as well as enumerate and manipulate the objects
    in a folder. Of course security still exists, and only what is allowed
    interactively will be allowed programmaticall y.

    If you understand automation and object models, it's not too hard to
    do. One complication is that for some operations the Outlook object
    model is not powerful enough, and you would have to fall back on
    something like CDO.
