You can select which Outlook-account to look through using something like this:

Outlook.Session.Accounts.Item(1) 'Change 1 to 2 for your alternate account

See Ron de Bruin's website for an example.

How would having a pointer to an Account object help in searching through another store? – Dmitry Streblechenko Jul 22 '16 at 14:26

If you have two inboxes, than this will not help you. See the other answer posted by CoRrRan if this is the case. However from your question it sounds like you are trying to have it search a different folder other than your default mailbox. To return a different folder use the following.

Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myNewFolder = myFolder.Folders("Folder Name")

Where you simply change "Folder Name" to whatever yours is called. You can then set your items equal to the myNewFolder.Items.
