Public-Folder Object

The Public-Folder object represents a public folder and resides within a public information store. For more information, see About Public Folders.

This object inherits from a Mail-Recipient object, which means that it can also be contained within a Distribution-List object.

Because Public-Folder objects appear to MAPI as messaging user objects, use the MAPI IMailUser interface to access a Public-Folder object.

For more information on accessing Public-Folder objects through MAPI and through directory access functions, see Using MAPI with Directory Objects, Working with Public Folders.
