Hello Victor, If the folder already exist, it will simply do nothing, except going into errors.. need to add a on error resume next or test if the folder exist before. will create in the inbox, as a subfolder I don't see your goal with this folder...except if you turn special rights on it. may ask them to put it [private] in the subject instead (it will work for the sent folders) Regards, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com Sunday, August 27, 2006, 10:26:59 PM, you wrote: VW> VW> VW> Thanks Mathieu, nice.
