            using (file)
            {
                Folder startFolder = file.MailboxRoot;

                IList<Folder> folders = startFolder.GetFolders(true);

                for (int i = 0; i < folders.Count; i++)
                {
                    Folder folder = folders[i];

                    Console.WriteLine("Folder: " + folder.DisplayName);

                    IList<Item> items = folder.GetItems();

                    for (int j = 0; j < items.Count; j++)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("  Subject: " + items[j].Subject);
