This folder is one that I created - not the standard sent, inbox, drafts. The standard "view X folder" does not seem to work. What command will open it for me?

 

Cheers,

Blair

Let's pretend that the name of your new folder is Hawaii and it is a sub folder of your Inbox. We will call this Outlook application-specific command Go to Hawaii and the green script is as follows: 

SendKeys "{Ctrl+y}"
Wait 500
SendKeys "{Home}i{Right}h{Enter}"

You may need to add additional wait times but we believe this command will work as is. We added a couple of extra steps because Outlook won't remember to open its folder tree the next time you launch the application so we utilized a string of commands that will ignore whether or not the folder tree is open and hopefully deliver the goods every time. You can create this command in KnowBrainer via the following:

1. Copy the previous 3 lines of green plain looking scripting code to the clipboard.

2. Say New Outlook Command (assuming you are using KB 2008 REV E). If you prefer, you can optionally make this command global by saying New Global Command.

3. Dictate Go to Hawaii to name your command. Note that the name of your command will automatically appear in Title Case.

4. Say Edit to move the cursor to the script box.

5. Say Paste to drop the contents of the clipboard into the script box and say Finish Command to save your new command and close the KnowBrainer Command Browser.

Note that you will not be able to use your new command until you close and re-launch KnowBrainer which you can accomplish by saying Refresh KnowBrainer.
