FolderType can be one of the following OlDefaultFolders constants: olFolderCalendar, olFolderContacts, olFolderDrafts, olFolderInbox, olFolderJournal, olFolderNotes, or olFolderTasks. (The constants olFolderDeletedItems, olFolderOutbox, olFolderJunk, olFolderConflicts, olFolderLocalFailures, olFolderServerFailures, olFolderSyncIssues, olPublicFoldersAllPublicFolders, olFolderRssSubscriptions, olFolderToDo, olFolderManagedEmail, and olFolderSentMail cannot be specified for this argument.)
