Importing .msg files into a .pst file
A bunch of people at our company have been saving their emails to the
network drives by draging them from outlook 2003 to the file system. The problem is that when you do this you loose the intelligence of the messages when it comes to finding one email among thousands. What I have been tasked to do is reverse this by creating a .pst file for each of our projects(which I have already done there are 1500 of them by the way) and importing the ..msg files into the .pst file they belong to. The only way I can do this by manually draging the files from the network drive into the folder in Outlook. I can't seem to find a way to use vba to do this in an automated manner. So the goal is: Search each folder in g:\projects for *.msg files. When a folder contains *.msg files, Open the FOLDERNAME.pst file in outlook ie. c:\projects\12345_01.pst and copy the .msg files into the newly opened ..pst file. Any suggestions? Thanks Steve |

For searching the files you could use the FileSystemObject of the Microsoft Scripting Runtime. CreateItemFromTemplate you can import a *.msg file but then you loose all sender related properties. Instead I'd use GetMessageFromMsgFile with Redemption (www.dimastr.com). -- Viele Gruesse / Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook -- www.VBOffice.net -- A bunch of people at our company have been saving their emails to the network drives by draging them from outlook 2003 to the file system.

Or use Safe*Item/RDOMail.Import(..., olMSG) in Redemption to import an MSG
file into an existing (or a newly created) message residing in any store.
