    Dim myExplorers As Outlook.Explorers
    Dim myFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Set myExplorers = myOlApp.Explorers
    Set myFolder = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
    If myExplorers.Count <> 0 Then
        For x = 1 To myExplorers.Count
            On Error GoTo skipif
            If myExplorers.Item(x).CurrentFolder.Name = "Inbox" Then
                myExplorers.Item(x).Display
                myExplorers.Item(x).Activate
                Exit Sub
            End If
skipif:
        Next x
