From Outlook to windows-folder

[hannu]

Hi.

If I get an email and I would like to share it with someone else.
Is it possibe to make in Outlook a folder called for instance ToOthers
and via VBA Outlook would automatically send my emails from folder
ToOthers to windows folder in my server, where other people could see
it also?
We do not have exchange server, only Outlooks in each workstation.
Or is there any other way to do it?

You can do something like that in code, but how many of those items would
there be? Would there be enough so that either using File, Save As from the
user interface or just forwarding the emails to whoever wouldn't be
adequate?

You could certainly write code that handled the ItemAdd() event on the Items
collection of ToOthers and in that event handler use the SaveAs() method to
save the items as MSG files in a file system location.

At www.outlookcode.com search for a macro named "ZapHTML". That has code for
ItemAdd() for the Inbox Items collection to strip HTML from incoming items.
Something like that can be modified to handle your ToOthers folder and to
save out the items rather than stripping out the HTML.
