import outlook folder

[ck4794]

So, this should be simpler but it's not...

i already use a database at work. my partner and i need a way to merge our conversations, because... well... people. 'nuff said. so i'm trying to add this feature to my database.

it seems the easy way to do this, is for both of us to have a folder in our inbox with the same name. and write a snippet of code to look for that folder, and download the emails to a table.



i can't even seem to get started on this. i've found some pretty convoluted and intricate code out there. at this point i'm not fluent enough to decipher it. can we start with just a simple line of code to download an outlook folder into a table? no bells or whistles yet... if i can get this start maybe i can figure the rest out.

thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

This is a pretty simple example of cycling through emails in a specific folder, you should look at post #3 for the basic code, from there there is a longer set of code with more enhancements, for instance you may want to move 'processed' emails to a different folder so you aren't continually processing the same set of emails.
