Update Outlook inbox folder

问题:

I would like to update (sync) the inbox folder (send/receive) before running this PowerShell script that gets the e-mails, but I don't know how. Is there a way to do this from powershell?

$matchString= "[e-mail]";
$olFolderInbox = 6
$outlook = New-Object -COM Outlook.Application;
$mapi = $outlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI");
$inbox = $mapi.GetDefaultFolder($olFolderInbox)

$inbox.Items | where { $_.SenderEmailAddress -match $matchString } |
    Select SenderEmailAddress,to,subject |
    Format-Table -AutoSize

This is how you do that:

$mapi.SendAndReceive($false)

Also, for me I needed to use the Logon method before the SendAndReceive:

$mapi.logon()
