Automate import of msg files into a pst file

G

Greg

I have created a blank pst file and was dragging/copying msg files in
it manually using the old fashion method. However, the problem with
this method is that someone has to be there to physically copy or drag
the msg files into the pst file and if the pst file reaches its size
limit during copying one would have to figure out where it stopped off
and start the process again from there. Therefore, I am wondering if
there is a way to automate this process? Does anyone out there have
any code (preferably in VB) that could get me started?

Basically, I want to automatically import msg files into a pst file
and if that pst file reaches its limit then I want to create a new
blank pst file and continue copying the rest of msg files until all
have been imported. Is this at all possible? I figure its better to
consult greater minds than I to figure out if it can be done before I
should even attempt to try. Thanks in advance for all your advice and
help!

Using an automated tool for converting msg files to PST files is probably your best option for doing bulk importing of msg files into PST. One such tool that can do this is the GainTools MSG to PST Converter. You can convert and merge as many MSG files together into a single PST file automatically. To do this, you would need to add the source folder containing MSG files, set the output as a PST file, and let the converter run on the selected folder. With this converter you never have to worry about lost email messages, attachments and formatting. The free trial offers you an opportunity to test the product prior to making an investment.

The most effective method for automating the import of MSG files into PST files is to utilize a professional conversion tool rather than dragging them into Outlook by hand.
