I don't think that the coding and file layout is available or understandable. If it is, then it will be defined in MSDN or in :

You might be able to use SimpleMAPI, and so talk through Outlook Express to the mail storage areas. Add MAPIsession and MAPImessages to the form, then:
VB Code:
'Connect to the e-mail system MAPISession1.SignOn 'Link messages to the session MAPIMessages2.SessionID = MAPISession1.SessionID 'Set up a collection of messages - all those from Inbox MAPIMessages2.Fetch ' Show how many there are MsgBox MAPIMessages2.MsgCount 'For the first 4 messages in the Inbox For X = 0 To 3 ' Set the current message pointer to the next message MAPIMessages2.MsgIndex = X ' Show the original address of the message MsgBox MAPIMessages2.MsgOrigAddress Next X 'end the session MAPISession1.SignOff
is it possible to get messages in other folders , I mean other than inbox , using MAPI ?
and moreover mapi signin expects username,password right ?
I need to show all other folders too.

Usng SimpleMAPI you can only get through to simple things - lke your Inbox.
Using OLE Messaging or OLE Automation of VBA or other techniques, you can get through to many different folders.
Outlook supports all of these.
Outlook Express supports SimpleMAPI only.
