Interop.Outlook - get all emails(Items) within a subfolder

I'm trying to get the body(or any other attribute) of an email which is inside a specific folder in outlook.

I'm using the interop.outlook assembly. I have done the following so far. But when trying to call an item in myInbox, there are no attributes at all.

Application myApp = new ApplicationClass();
        NameSpace mapiNameSpace = myApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");
        MAPIFolder myInbox = mapiNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox).Folders["QC"];

The following brings no expected attributes

 myInbox.Items[1].

In addition, the next step is to click a link inside the body of the email. just want to know if it's even possible.

Any help will be much appreciated.

This is how I'm doing;

Outlook.Application myApp = new Outlook.Application();
Outlook.NameSpace mapiNameSpace = myApp.GetNamespace("MAPI");
Outlook.MAPIFolder myInbox = mapiNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox).Folders["QC"];

This should bring all mails in Inbox. Then call;

Outlook.MailItem mailItem = myInbox.Items[1];

This mailItem contains all the attributes you need.

Explanation: The mailFolder.Items[1] is an Outlook.Items object which has no attributes you require. You need to cast it to an Outlook.MailItem object to achieve this.
