Here a sample scenario:
$ openchangepfadmin --mkdir --folder=public_events \
--dirclass=IPM.Appointment
$ openchangeclient --sendmail --subject="test the bug" \
--body="Would this bug be a feature?" \
--to="jkerihuel" --pf --folder=public_events
sendmail : MAPI_E_SUCCESS (0x0)
$ openchangeclient --fetchmail --pf --folder=public_events

Would this bug be a feature?
fetchmail : MAPI_E_SUCCESS (0x0)
In Outlook, it will display in the reading pane: "Unable to display the
folder. An OLE registration error occurred. The program is not correctly
installed. Run setup again for the program"
If you try to get properties from the folder (right-click), the same
message is printed in a popup.
If I create a folder with a slightly buggy dirclass such as IPF.Bug or
IPM.Buggy, then the folder will automatically turn IPM.Post.
Conclusion: Until particular circonstances we'd need to focus on, we can
create folders browsable and usable/deletable with libmapi but useless
within Outlook [1]. Would you say it is a bug or a feature? ;)
[1] Only performed basic tests. It would be interesting to ask
experienced Exchange admins/googling forums if they have already
encountered such issue.
