Yes, that is exactly the same idea. The first name is the MAPI folder
or *.pst file name, and the second one is the name of your folder inside
of it. My sample strings assumed the default Outlook 2010 *.pst filename,
and an alternate folder for a second inbox inside the same file.
BTW, it may be possible to write your example like this:
my $folder = $namespace->Folders("Mailbox - Email.Reports\\Inbox");

In this case I just looked at some scripts I had already written to figure
it out. When I don't have any previous samples, then I have to do the
same thing as everyone else: search on Google, read the object model
docs, and experiment with trial & error. It *is* a time consuming thing
for anything non-standard, but navigating the folder hierarchy is still
pretty common.
Now, configuring custom AutoArchive settings for each folder is something
I wasted several hours on. :)
