Retrieve only email folders

Question

Hello

When I read the folder list from the server, it is getting all the folders including Calendar and Contact folders! How to detect if the folder is a mail store or contacts store?

Can you provide the logs:

Generally I don't think there is there a way to detect it.

Some email folders may include \Noselect flag - that would indicate you can't select such folder. You can access it using FolderInfo.CanSelect property.

I'm afraid however, that in case of Calendar and Contact they can be selected, but are empty, and I'm not aware of a better way of filtering them out than using their names.

It would be good to look at the logs just to be sure.
