Problem with Command Bar FolderName and FolderNames properties
FolderName and FolderNames properties don't seem to work.

I have an Outlook add in project with a custom command bar. I can use the ItemTypes property to determine which folder the command bar will appear for just fine.

For example
ItemType = Mail
FolderName = *
FolderNames = Empty

works just fine.

However, if I try to limit this to one mail folder as follows

ItemType = Mail
FolderName = Inbox
FolderNames = Empty

then the command bar fails to appear at all.

What am I doing wrong?

I am using VS 2005 and have included a shim project in my solution.

Hi Steven.

You should set the full name of a folder in the FolderName property.
E.g. 'Personal Folders\Inbox'.
