          The GetItemByID method sometimes returns a PstItem instead of a PstMessage when GetFolderById().Items returns a PstMessage for the same item.  When returned as a PstItem it is missing information as compared to the PstMessage.

 The GetFolderByID method returns folders without its Name property set.
 
 Because of these issues, both the GetItemByID and GetFolderByID seem unusable.  To get folder and item information I have to traverse the folders from the root even if I have an Item ID and/or Folder ID from a previous traversal.

          For items which are retrieved in the middle of the tree, parent information is not available and it's not possible to build full .Name property. .ShortName property is still accessible, though.

 Other questions need a .PST sample for our examination (expecting this via Helpdesk where you already filed the same ticket).
