Der Fehler kommt in dem Code aber nicht vor!
variant->GetDefaultFolder('olFolderInbox') muss heissen
variant->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox) und ist im Code richtig.
olFolderInbox müsste dann eine Konstante sein.

Do you have the code?

The problem is that the object method is expecting a certain type of 'VARIANT' and the one you passed is not correct. If you have the code I can show you how to fix your problem!

You have referenced 2 Outlook variables by their names, olFolderInbox and olFolderOutbox. These names are not recognised outside of Outlook, so you must use their values instead. olFolderInbox = 6 and olFolderOutbox = 4

Hi there,
I have been trying desperately to implement ‘Accessing an Outlook account/profile using PHP’. I believe the com object implementation will offer me the best solution. This is where the problem lies, even though I have copied the code and removed all comments, added in my username and password to the $session->logon() and it now comes back with an error (‘cdo.dll has been registered on my local pc, however not on the server’)… the error is as follows :

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Parameter 0: Type mismatch. ' in C:\wamp\www\Training\COutLook.php:104 Stack trace: #0 C:\wamp\www\Training\COutLook.php(104): variant->GetDefaultFolder('olFolderInbox') #1 C:\wamp\www\Training\COutLook.php(121): COutLook->getUnreadinInbox() #2 C:\wamp\www\Training\comunread.php(10): COutLook->staticFolders() #3 {main} thrown in C:\wamp\www\Training\COutLook.php on line 104

If you can offer any assistance with this error it would be greatly appreciated… if your need the scripts to interpret the error they can be found at

Thank you very much for your time
