Example
This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example uses the Display method to display the default Inbox folder. This example will not return an error, even if there are no items in the Inbox, because you are not asking for the display of a specific item.
Sub DisplayInbox()
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myFolder As Outlook.Folder
Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
myFolder.Display
End Sub
This Visual Basic for Applications example displays the first item in the Inbox folder. This example will return an error if the Inbox is empty, because you are trying to display a specific item. If there are no items in the folder, a message box will be displayed to inform the user.
Note
The items in the Items collection object are not guaranteed to be in any particular order.
Sub DisplayFirstItem()
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myFolder As Outlook.Folder
Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
myFolder.Items(1).Display
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "There are no items to display."
End Sub
