Gets the number of messages in a Windows Mail (formerly Outlook Express) folder.

This property is read-only.

Syntax

propVal = System.MessageStore.Folder.messageCount()

Parameters

intMessageCount [out]
Retrieves the number of messages.

Remarks

Eliminates the need to create a Messages collection and use count to get the number of messages in a folder.

Folders exposes the Windows Mail Local Folders collection. Subfolders and their content (such as messages) are not exposed.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to retrieve the number of messages in a given folder.

// Create a Folders Collection.
var collFolders = System.MessageStore.Folders; 

// Select the folder from position 0 in the Folders Collection.
var oFolder = collFolders.item(0);

// Get the number of messages in the folder.
var iMsgCount = oFolder.messageCount;
