Subject: accessing Outlook folders, other than Inbox

Hi,

This works great for processing my Outlook inbox:

------8<----------------8<-------------
require 'win32ole'

# Open a MAPI session
session = WIN32OLE.new('Mapi.session')
session.logon('MS Exchange Settings')

# Get the INBOX
messages = session.inbox.messages
messages.each do |m|
	# do something
end 

-----8<---------------8<-----------------

but if I change 'inbox' to 'contacts' or 'calendar', for instance, I get

C:\rubycode\outlook_helper.rb:8:in `method_missing': Fail(GetIDsOfNames)
Unknown property or method : contacts (WIN32OLERuntimeError)
    HRESULT error code:0x80020006
      Unknown name

Can someone tell me how to access other Outlook folders using win32ole?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Barry
