You can access that folder using Store.GetSearchFolders().Item("Unread Mail"). If that folder exists.

If it does not exist, you can use Application.AdvancedSearch to search through all folders of a particular store.

I am not sure what you mean. Are you saying your code needs to run from a remote server instead of a machine where Outlook is installed? – Dmitry Streblechenko Oct 25 '14 at 18:47
yes . i needs to run from a remote server instead of a machine where Outlook is installed.thanks a lot if you can help me – Nidhin Oct 27 '14 at 06:11
If the user is using a local PST file with a POP3/SMTP account, you cannot access it fro ma remote server. If an Exchange mailbox is used, you can use EWS (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dd877045(v=exchg.140).aspx) for remote access. – Dmitry Streblechenko Oct 27 '14 at 13:58
