What's the best way to automate this function?

I want to be able to do this in Outlook 2010,

(1)select a specific mail account (2)Key in a folder that I am looking for (3)Then have the macro/program fire off an "*" asterisk (4)Then insert the text that I keyed in step one.

I am trying to automate the search for a folder hot-keys that already exist.

My problem is that I can't type the folder that I am looking for fast enough and all the search programs that I have used are far too slow. The hot-key search is awesome and super fast, I just can't type the folder that I am looking for fast enough. Can this process be automated?

And I can't use this code, it is far too slow:
