GetFirst Method (Folders Collection)

The GetFirst method returns the first Folder object in the Folders collection. It returns Nothing if no first object exists.

Syntax

Set objFolder = objFoldersColl.GetFirst( )

objFolder

On successful return, represents the first Folder object in the collection.

objFoldersColl

Required. The Folders collection object.

Remarks

The order that items are returned by GetFirst, GetLast, GetNext, and GetPrevious depends on whether the folders are sorted or not. The Folder objects within a collection can be sorted on a MAPI property of your choice, either ascending or descending, using the Sort method. When the items are not sorted, you should not rely on these methods to return the items in any specified order. The best programming approach to use with unsorted collections is to assume that the access functions are able to access all items within the collection, but that the order of the objects is not defined.
