Thanks guys, and humble apologies for being such a nugget. I had my personal options for set to the default of three levels, so I couldn't see that you had replied. It's sorted now, so am off and running again. duh!

I had already managed to get a list of the folders at the top level using code similar to what you suggested namely

my $Folder = $namespace->Folders("Personal Folders");
my $Items = $Folder->Items;
my $sheetcnt = $namespace->Folders->Count();
foreach (1..$sheetcnt){
   $Folder = $namespace->Folders($_)->{Name};
   print "\t" .$Folder ."\n";
#   my $subfolder = $namespace->Folders($Folder)->MAPIFolder->Count();
#   foreach (1..$subfolder){
#      print "\t" .$namespace->Folders($Folder)->MAPIFolder($_)->{Name
+}. "\n";
#   }
}

The commented out lines are my attempt to get to the next level down, which should be the list of folders, including inbox, outbox, calendar etc. etc. however if the commented out code is reinstated, it fails. with 'Can't call method "Count" on an undefined value at .......' which is the line

my $subfolder = $namespace->Folders($Folder)->MAPIFolder->Count();

Having checked the Outlook Object Model from the reference helpfully supplied by this site, MAPIFolder does seem to be the next level down, so I am not sure where I am going wrong.
Any ideas?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
