Saving e-mail messages to folder
Using this code off your site http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=875 courtesy of Jacob Hilderbrand I am able to achieve transferring outlook messages to a folder on my PC.
2 things I am having problems with are
1. What do the numbers that are added to the file name mean i.e. -201-02--07-201_00-023-07-2_test1.
test1 is the file name but the macro adds -201-02--07-201_00-023-07-2_. I don't understand what this represents. What do I need to change to just add the date received in dd.mm.yyyy format.
2. I can save the messages locally but not over a network to a NAS.
As an additional thought is it possible to select messages from a folder instead of the whole folder contents.
I have tried deleting various bits but haven't had any success yet. Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry to post the whole script.
