  1. First, look for the property in the Inbox folder. Use IMsgStore::GetReceiveFolder to obtain a reference to the EntryID for the Inbox folder.

  2. If IMsgStore::GetReceiveFolder is successful, then use the reference to the EntryID of the Inbox and IMsgStore::OpenEntry to open the Inbox and obtain a reference to an IMAPIFolder object.

  3. If IMsgStore::OpenEntry is successful, then use the returned reference to the IMAPIFolder object and IMAPIProp::GetProps to obtain the desired property.
