Need a script to OPEN and then save as .msg

[andysideas]

Dear All,

Does anyone know of a script that is already out there that will do
this ?

Basically I am leaving the company I work in, and need to take my mail
with me (personal emails)

So I need a script to OPEN and then save as .msg

At some point I will then need a manual or script to take those .msg
and put then back into a .pst file to make my life easier.


Any ideas ?

I see that Sue has some code.

Anyone willing to share some programming skills to make this
recursively go through my mailbox. I also need to identify as to
whether this code actually OPEN the message in outlook first.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but why don't you just export the mailbox to a .pst file using the File | Import and Export command?

Why don´t you just create a new PST and copy all items or folders into that
manually? That´s done in just a few minutes.

Sorry MVP Guru's

I had to re-type the post ! Sometimes don't you just had IE !

We are using a vaulting system from symantec. In order to VIEW a
message it needs to be opened. At the moment I only have shortcuts with
subjects in my inbox.

Have you ever opened and saved such a message manually as an .msg file. I'd be curious, because you need to know whether that works before you go any further.

In the meantime, the relevant code methods, which you can look up in Outlook VBA Help, are MailItem.Display and .SaveAs. See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=628 for basic folder iteration.
