As far as I can tell, that code isn't meant to be fully functional in of itself. It is merely code snippets to be cut, pasted, and edited to fit your needs. The code in between each commented line is an example of how to accomplish the task of the preceding comment. For example,

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 //To delete the message from the inbox 

objMsg.Delete(Missing.Value);

That is just an example of how to delete a message. It doesn't actually delete anything unless you set objMsg to an actual message and replace Missing.Value with the correct boolean value.
