Remarks
This property is stored in the Inbox folder and in the root folder of the message store. To access the property on a specific message store, do the following:
First, look for the property in the Inbox folder. Use IMsgStore::GetReceiveFolder to obtain a reference to the EntryID for the Inbox folder.
If IMsgStore::GetReceiveFolder is successful, then use the reference to the EntryID of the Inbox and IMsgStore::OpenEntry to open the Inbox and obtain a reference to an IMAPIFolder object.
If IMsgStore::OpenEntry is successful, then use the returned reference to the IMAPIFolder object and IMAPIProp::GetProps to obtain the desired property.
If Step 1, 2, or 3 fails, look for the property in the root folder. To do that, use IMsgStore::OpenEntry, specifying NULL for lpEntryID, to open the root folder of the message store and obtain a reference to the IMAPIFolder object.
If opening the root folder is successful, then use the returned reference to the IMAPIFolder object and IMAPIProp::GetProps to obtain the desired property.
