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
