What's a unique folder id?

Question

I'm setting folders in my dbms by identifying their folder.absolute name as a key. In the case such name changes, a "different new" folder is detected by my python script.

How I can choose a real and universal (the same key through different calling script) ID of that folder, which means it doesn't change when the name changes?

thanks

What operating system are you on? the answer to this will depend on that. — Cube, Jul 02 '23 at 15:23
But, actually, i need a key fixed all over the different OS... — Elisa, Jul 02 '23 at 15:27
Is the name of the folder changing asynchronously to when the database is updated? — paisanco, Jul 02 '23 at 15:35

The ItemId.Id attribute of a folder in Exchange/EWS does not change just because the folder nam changes. In exchangelib, that would be some_folder.id.
