Counting Mails in Outlook with Autohotkey
0
I tried to write a script, that counts the e-Mails in a specific public exchange folder in outlook.
If there are Mails in subfolder2, a Messagebox should open and tell me, how many Mails there are. I tried this, but it did not work.
Outlook := ComObjActive("Outlook.Application")
mail = (Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer().Session.GetDefaultFolder(18).Folders("SubfolderSubfolder2")
if (mail.Items.Count>0)
msgbox % mail.Items.Count "Mails in folder"
else
msgbox No Mails.
Does anyone has a idea, how I should change the script, that it works?

You must retrieve subfoldersone at a time, you cannot specify a path. Change the line
mail = (Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer().Session.GetDefaultFolder(18).Folders("SubfolderSubfolder2")
to
mail = (Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer().Session.GetDefaultFolder(18).Folders("Subfolder").Folders("Subfolder2")

That would probably mean mail variable is null. I don't know how/if autohotkey handles COM exceptions, but apparently you are not accessing that folder correctly.
