Hi Srikanth,

1. Are you able to reproduce the issue with a newly created add-in project?
2. What version and build number of Add-in Express do you use?
3. What OS do you use? Did you install the latest service packs for Office and OS?

Hi Srikanth,

Do you use Word as an e-mail editor in Outlook?

Hi Srikanth,

It looks like you mean the navigation pane in Outlook. Am I right?

Anyway, you can add a folder using the Add function of the Folders class in the Outlook Object Model. Note that the Folder class provides you with the Folders property. For example: 

Outlook.NameSpace ns = OutlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");
Outlook.MAPIFolder folderInbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox);
Outlook.Folders folders = folderInbox.Folders;
Outlook.MAPIFolder newFolder = folders.Add("Test"); 

// do some additional logic here and then release underlying COM objects

if (newFolder != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(newFolder);
if (folders != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(folders);
if (folderInbox != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(folderInbox);
if (ns != null) Marshal.ReleaseComObject(ns);


To get assistance with host applications?Â?Ð?é objects, their properties, and methods as well as help info, use the Object Browser. Go to the VBA environment (in the host application, choose menu Tools | Macro | Visual Basic Editor or just press {Alt+F11}), press {F2}, select the host application in the topmost combo and/or specify a search string in the search combo. Select a class/property/method and press {F1} to get the help topic that relates to the object.

Hi Srikanth,

You can use any of the OlDefaultFolders constants (for example, the olFolderInbox one). Please find all the constants in the Object Browser of the host application.
