Set selected folder in Outlook

Question

I'm using the following code to set the currently selected folder in outlook

  OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer().CurrentFolder = OlDefaultFolders.olFolderJunk;

There seems to be a type mismatch

Cannot implicitly convert type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders' to 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder'

I have tried

 OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer().CurrentFolder = (Outlook.MAPIFolder)OlDefaultFolders.olFolderJunk;

How can i solve this issue?

Answer 1

You are setting a property of type MAPIFolder (which is a COM object) to a value of type OlDefaultFolders (which is an int). You probably missed a call to Namespace.GetDefaultFolder:

 OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer().CurrentFolder = OutlookApp.Session.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderJunk);
