Using visual basic to access subfolder in Inbox?
I found that there were some items in my inbox that were not mail items causing the script to halt. This little change allowed the script to keep running if something like a meeting invite is found:
Sub getmail()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.Namespace
Dim olFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
'Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim InboxItem As Object
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olFolder = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set olFolder = olFolder.Folders("temp")
For Each InboxItem In olFolder.Items
Debug.Print InboxItem.Subject
Debug.Print InboxItem.EntryID
Next
End Sub
Thanks for your answer! helped me a lot!

Thats very close :)
To get all the mail items in a folder called "temp" under the Inbox try this
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim olFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olFolder = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set olFolder = olFolder.Folders("Temp")
For Each msg In olFolder.Items
Debug.Print msg.Subject
Next
And to drill further down, keep adding Set olFolder lines:
Set olFolder = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set olFolder = olFolder.Folders("temp")
Set olFolder = olFolder.Folders("temp2")
Set olFolder = olFolder.Folders("temp3")
Gets you to \Inbox\temp\temp2\temp3\
