Possible Macro Request

[Rob]

I was wondering if there were someone here that would be willing to create a
small custom macro for me so that I can use it as a rule within Outlook 2003?

Or am I in trouble now for asking this because I shouldn't be? If not then
I'll add that I'd entertain some sort of compensation if absolutely
positively necessary.

Thanks Much In Advance,
Rob

create a small custom macro for me so that I can use it as a rule

I think you'd be more likely to get an answer if you actually said what you
wanted to do. Because, a lot of times, Outlook can actually do what people
want to code, just like a lot of times, Outlook can't do what people want
to do without code. Funny how that happens.

Actually it'll be a couple of them. My apologies for the lack of info. My
setup is like this. I have an MS Excg Server email account and all my emails
get delivered to a Primary PST (Inbox) and then I have many many many rules
(nearly maxed out) that performs the actions as configured. I also have a
second and third PST that the Rules move the emails to automatically. All
that works great, lasts long time. However I want more capability.

The first one would be to have a macro or something that will evaluate all
incoming email to see if it has a rule related to it, if so then it runs the
macro and if it doesn't then the macro will move the remaining emails, only
AFTER all rules have completed, to a specific location within secondary
PST(s) file/files.

The second one will take all email that I send out and move them to yet
another PST as designated. Yes, Yes, Yes, I know that I can create a rule
that will do nearly that same thing. But that's nearly. The rule will only
COPY the email not MOVE it. Yes I know there is a technique in which you can
accomplish the same thing however that technique will make/assign/mark the
new folder as the "Sent Items" folder as well as change the icon as well as
set limitations as to what can be done with the now "System" PST files. I
also know about disabling the sent folder and then making a rule that will
"copy" what you send. None of those are quite what I know that a simple
robust macro can do.

The third one would be used to evaluate the emails and, if an email meets a
certain parameter, It’ll simply mark the email as read, after all rules and
relocations finish, then it will clear that darn email icon in the systray.
Yes Yes Yes, I know I can create a rule that'll already mark the emails as
read, but that rule doesn't have the ability to remove the icon from the
systray. Yes I can disable the icon in the systray, but then I won't be
able to use it for those other emails that I do want to see the icon for.

Well, that's about it. I'm sure someone is aggravated at me now but that is
what I know Outlook 2003 cannot do and why I want macros to do it.
Unfortunately OL'03 only Plays Macros and cannot record them. There is a VB
editor but I'm just not savvy enough to be able to utilize it.


Thank You So Very Much! Seriously.

Oh, I nearly forgot... The fourth one will take every email, within a
specified folder, that has an attachment of any type and automatically save
it to a specified location on the HDD without me having to select emails one
at a time. Just tell it to go here and BAM it finds emails with attachments
and saves them (the attachments). If there are dups then it'll rename the
second file leaving the previously existing one intact.

Thanks Again.

Well, strictly speaking, you can't afford me. =)
