MAPI: How do I count the amount of folders in a mailbox

I've used MAPI on a project recently to traverse mailboxes and export them to .msg files so I know a bit but I would now like to efficiently count all the folders inside a mailbox. Can this be done with MAPI tables somehow? Is there a magic property for this? Any help will be appreciated.

Normally you only get the immediate child folders. You can pass CONVENIENT_DEPTH flag to get all child folders returned. If I remember correctly, that will only work with the online Exchange stores (both mailbox and PF).

Open the message store using OpenMsgStore function and then open top of information store using HrOpenFolderEx and then use GetHierarchyTable to get the list of folders
