It always helps to have a working sample, to use as a starting point - so here is some:

#Read Outlook Folder...
use strict;
use Win32::OLE qw(in);
use Constant olFolderCalendar=>9;

my $Outlook = Win32::OLE->GetObject("Outlook.Application")
 || Win32::OLE->new("Outlook.Application");

my $Session = $Outlook->Session;
#my $NameSpace = $Session->GetNameSpace("MAPI");
#my $ContactsFolder = $NameSpace->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts);

ShowSubFolders ($Session->Folders);
#################################################
sub ShowSubFolders{
  my $FolderCollection = shift;
  my $level = shift || 0;

  for my $Folder (in $FolderCollection) {
    print "  " x $level . "Folder$level: $Folder->{Name}\t(" . $Folder
+->Items->{Count}. ")\n";
    #if ($Folder->{Name} =~ /Personal Folders/) {
    if ($Folder->{Name} =~ /^Mailbox|^Issues/) {
      ShowSubFolders($Folder->Folders, $level + 1);
    }
    if ($Folder->{Name} =~ /Inbox/) {
      my $msgCount=1;
      print "*** Please OK the msgbox in outlook that requests externa
+l program access**\n";
      $Folder->Items->Sort ("CreationTime",1); # Descending by date
      for my $Item (in $Folder->Items) {
        print "$msgCount:  $Item->{SenderName} : $Item->{Subject}\n";
        #print "\t $Item->{Body} \n\n";
        last if $msgCount++ > 9;
      }
    }
  }
}

You're just jealous cause the voices are only talking to me.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
