You may want to take a look with mdbvue32.exe and see if there is another way to find it. I don't see anything doc'd but that doesn't mean something doesn't exist that can be used as a constant. After all, the OL client has to have a way to figure it out, right?

I would have to agree, but I honestly don't know enough about it to say that WebDAV needs the authentication passed in the string. This example of enumerating the folders would indicate you are correct: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_ exch2k_the_http_url_scheme.asp And I assume you've seen this as well: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_ esdk_arch_webdav_security.asp My thoughts are that you would have to enumerate the folders under the mailbox root folder. From there, your app would have to figure out which one was the 'Inbox' if the name is not Inbox before sending the webdav request to render the items. How will you know which folder is the correct folder, just out of curiousity?

Your suggestion works if you simply enter it in the address field of a browser (it will get you to your email service), but that´s not good enough for the webdav call as it seems...it even works when you remove the name from the url as well when entering the address in the web browser, but that still does not work for the xmlhttp/webdav call. I think the difference is that when you enter the url in the address field of the browser, the system already knows who you are, but the webdav call most likely need to have that information with it to the exchange server. //Dennis -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Mulnick, Al [mailto:Al.Mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx] Skickat: den 22 mars 2005 19:43 Till: [ExchangeList] Ämne: [exchangelist] RE: SV: RE: The name of the inbox http://www.MSExchange.org/ I'm trying to remember if the URL of http://<myexchangeserver>/exchange/<myname>/ would give you a particular folder by default or not. Have you tried it that way? The only other thing that comes to mind is to iterate the folders and figure out which one is the inbox. I don't know of a different constant other than what was posted earlier.

I use the javascript way. I need to contruct a url on the form http://<myexchangeserver>/exchange/<myname>/<theinbox> and it is the <theinbox> part that is the problem. Is it maybe possible to send in a parameter in the url instead which exchange understands..? //Dennis -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Mulnick, Al [mailto:Al.Mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx] Skickat: den 22 mars 2005 18:27 Till: [ExchangeList] Ämne: [exchangelist] RE: The name of the inbox http://www.MSExchange.org/ I believe what you're looking for is urn:schemas:httpmail:msgfolderroot Mailbox folder (root) From: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wss/wss/_ex ch2k_getting_well-known_mailbox_folder_urls.asp -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Johansson [mailto:dennis.johansson@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 12:23 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] The name of the inbox http://www.MSExchange.org/ I have a small problem, I need to be able to send an XMLHTTP message via wedav to an exchange server 2003, with the intention to count the number of unread emails in the inbox. Here is the problem: Different users have different names on the inbox, and the inbox name must be a part of the xmlhttp call url (as it seems). Is there an internal name or so in exchange server for the inbox that I can use instead of the name that the users see, so I don´t have to worry about different names of the inboxes? I could force everyone to use the same inbox name in this case, but consider the situation where different users use different languages in the same exchange server. Another solution is to use personalization and let the users tell the system their names of the inboxes as well, but these solutions are somewhat ugly...
