Hi, welcome to the forum :wave:

$outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$mapi = $outlook.GetNamespace('MAPI')
$folder = $mapi.Folders.Item('systemmails')
$folder.GetExplorer().Display()

I recommend using Get-Member to explore the $outlook, $mapi, and $folder variables as it will show you the properties and methods you can use to access the various items.
