Description

In MFCMAPI, try to delete the folder "Inbox". This expectedly fails with MAPI_W_PARTIAL_COMPLETION. The hierarchy view (left pane) updates and the folder is visually gone (which is wrong). It's required to use F5 to restore the tree view.

Research direction

Reproduce the failed deletion of the Inbox folder in MFCMAPI and observe the hierarchy view in the left pane. Trace the deletion failure handling and refresh behavior; done means a folder that returns MAPI_W_PARTIAL_COMPLETION remains correctly represented without requiring F5.
