   1: Sub TestSearch()

   2:  

   3:  Dim fpath As String

   4:  Dim oStre As Outlook.Store

   5:  

   6:  For Each oStre In Outlook.Session.Stores

   7:  fpath = "'" & oStre.GetRootFolder.folderPath & "'"

   8:  Debug.Print fpath & " IsSearchSynchronous = " & Application.IsSearchSynchronous(fpath)

   9:  Next

  10:  

  11: End Sub

Output:

Note:

+ You must enclose the folder path (fpath) with single quotes – refer the above example
+ If the search is synchronous, the AdvancedSearch method will not return until the search has completed.
+ On the contrary, if the search is asynchronous, the AdvancedSearch method will immediately return.
+ In order to get meaningful results from an asynchronous search, use the AdvancedSearchComplete event to notify you when the search has finished.

Happy programming!!
