If you don't want any third part libraries, then Outlook Object Model is your only choice - use Namespace.AddStore/AddStoreEX. Keep in mind that it does not return the newly added store, you'd need to get it from the Namespace.Stores collection. Once you have the Store object, you can recursively drill down the folder hierarchy (starting with Store.GetRootFolder()) to access folder messages.
