Redemption : AddPSTSTORE not setting Display_name

Question

Store = SessionSrc.Stores.AddPSTStore(pst_path,1,'abc')

I am using this to add a pst file to attached pst's of Outlook.The problem is if i use the one below

Store = SessionSrc.Stores.AddPSTStore(pst_path,1)

It adds correctly with display_name of attached as Personal Folders.But when i provide a display_name to be set it doesnt use it and still add pst as Personal Folders.Is there a way to changes the display_name ?According to redemption documents , the 3rd optional argument is for setting display_name.Is it something different than what i am expecting?Do inform if more info is needed!!!

"Personal Folders" is the PST provider display name. Outlook always uses the file name as display name in the folder tree view. — Dmitry Streblechenko, May 20 '15 at 15:53
I don't think you can - Outlook would not let you change the display name of a ST store. — Dmitry Streblechenko, May 20 '15 at 17:26
@DmitryStreblechenko but it does let us remove store by name......but it does not let rename it :(........... — vks, May 20 '15 at 17:46
I am not sure what you mean - what does it have to do with naming a PST store? — Dmitry Streblechenko, May 20 '15 at 17:47
we can loop over stores and remove the one we want but we cant set the name.........isnt der any hack? You can add that as answer if you want :) — vks, May 20 '15 at 17:49
You can try to open the store and set the RDOStore.Name property. — Dmitry Streblechenko, May 20 '15 at 17:51
@DmitryStreblechenko one last doubt....what does the 3rd argument of `Store = SessionSrc.Stores.AddPSTStore(pst_path,1,'abc')` does? — vks, May 20 '15 at 17:53
It is the store format - please see http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/rdostores.htm — Dmitry Streblechenko, May 20 '15 at 18:01
@DmitryStreblechenko the `'abc'` this argument....it said `display_name` something — vks, May 20 '15 at 18:03
@DmitryStreblechenko the 3rd argument to `AddPSTStore` say for ex . `AddPSTStore(pst_path,1,'abc')` in this `abc` — vks, May 20 '15 at 18:05
It is the display name, which the PST provider sometimes takes, and sometimes ignores. — Dmitry Streblechenko, May 20 '15 at 18:08
@DmitryStreblechenko thanx a lot for all the info and taking time out...you can add this as answer if you wish :) — vks, May 20 '15 at 18:09

The PST provider sometimes ignores the specified displayed name when a PST store is added. Try to set the RDOStore.Name property after the store is added.
