Hello, i have the following script that save emails to hdd in a txt file:



Option Explicit

Public Sub RunMacro(msg As MailItem)

SaveAllEmails_ProcessAllSubFolders

End Sub


Public Sub SaveAllEmails_ProcessAllSubFolders()

Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long

End If
Case Else
BrowseForFolder = ""
End Select

ExitFunction:

Set ShellApp = Nothing

End Function



Now when you run the script you must browse folder. I would like not to choose folder, i want directly the script to read from "Personal Folders > TestFolder". In TestFolder i get every day an e-mail, so i want the script to read every day the e-mail from that folder and save the body into a text file from hdd.

Thank you.

Change

Set ChosenFolder = iNameSpace.PickFolder

to

Set ChosenFolder = iNameSpace.Folders("Personal Folders").Folders("TestFolder")
