Okay I'llk check it out but I have to tell you that since posting I gave an
inbox duplicate mover macro a try. Although a few coding changes were
necessary I was surprised to see how slow it really was.

YMMV, depending on the version and code. There are slower techniques and faster techniques, but we have no idea yet what you used.

No wonder there is a
maximum 10 minute for Outlook macro's to run.

There is no such thing. Sounds like you're referring to the "object model guard" that restricts access to protected properties and methods for security reasons. There are ways around that, too. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm

In the absence of a macro
recorder combined with the slow speed of a macro running in Outlook the time
and effort to write a command line email processor might be better spent.

Such a processor would have to use the same methods as VBA, unless you want to use C++ or Delphi to write the tool with Extended MAPI.
