Outlook - export mail to text on rule of vba

Question

I am pretty sure that this has been done before.

Does anybody know how to export emails, into text files on to my c drive, i know how to move emails into other folders i

Answer 1

Check out the MailItem.SaveAs Method. You specify the path and file type.

Ex:

Sub SaveEmail()

Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem

  ' assume an email is selected
  Set msg = ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)

  ' save as text
  msg.SaveAs "C:\MyEmail.txt", olTXT

End Sub

The file type is a OlSaveAsType constant. Press F2 in the VBA Editor and paste this into the search box for the list of possible values.
