Insert Email into Exchange Public Folder - Searching (1 of 2)

Here is a method that will enable you to search for a Public Folder In Exchange. It returns a 'Folder' object which we can use to insert objects to. We Need however to specify a 'Root' Folder as well as the 'ExchangeServiceBinding' object.

public static Folder FindPublicFolderByName(ExchangeService svc, string folderName)
        {
            FolderView folderView = new FolderView(int.MaxValue);
            FindFoldersResults findFoldersResults = svc.FindFolders(WellKnownFolderName.PublicFoldersRoot, folderView);

            foreach (var folder in findFoldersResults)
            {
                if (folderName.Equals(folder.DisplayName, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
                {
                    return folder;
                }
                else if (folder.ChildFolderCount > 0)
                {
                    Folder f =  FindFolderByNameRecursive(svc, folder, folderName);

                    if (f != null)
                        return f;
                }
            }

            throw new Exception("Folder Not Found: " + folderName);
        }

        private static Folder FindFolderByNameRecursive(ExchangeService s, Folder f, string folderName)
        {
            FolderView folderView = new FolderView(int.MaxValue);

            FindFoldersResults findFoldersResults = s.FindFolders(f.Id, folderView);

            foreach (Folder folder in findFoldersResults)
            {
                if (folderName.Equals(folder.DisplayName, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
                {
                    return folder;
                }
                else if (folder.ChildFolderCount > 0)
                {
                    Folder f2 = FindFolderByNameRecursive(s, folder, folderName);

                    if (f2 != null)
                        return f2;
                }
            }
            return null;
        }
