How I can get shared mailbox from Exchange 2007

+1 vote

I am using Imap component to get mails from my Exchange Server 2007.

When I try to use imap.GetNamespaces() method the count of "Shared" property is coming to 0.

Can you please help how I can get shared mailbox mails. On the other hand i am able to retrieve the "Personal" folders.

Also is there any difference between "Shared Mailbox" and "Shared Folder"

If Shared.Count is zero it means that server is not sending any shared namespace information.

Also is there any difference between "Shared Mailbox" and "Shared
Folder"

Email folders are called mailboxes in IMAP RFC documents. However in some situations Mailbox may refer to entire account and not specific folder.
