Geoff,

I don't think you can access a folder by name, however the Sync operation is applied to the entire collection of SyncObjects.AppFolders. IOW, if you need to have a folder synchronized, it should be registered as an AppFolder sync object by setting its InAppFolderSyncObject prop to .T.
Ex:

loOLFolder.InAppFolderSyncObject = .T.
