SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Visual Basic code that uses Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) and that logs on to a mailbox, gets a folder object, and then sets the object to nothing in a loop causes a memory leak.



CAUSE
The reference count for an internal object never reaches zero and it is reallocated, which causes the memory leak.
