Re: accessing emails copyied to folders not in a Outlook folder

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

What do you mean by "I can open the .msg files when the are in an Outlook
folder"? MSG file is an MSG file is an MSG file.
Do you mean Outlook *messages* (which are not stored as MSG files by the
underlying store provider) in an Outlook folder (such as the Inbox)?
If you mean real files with an MSG extension on teh file system accessible
visible in the Windows Explorer, see my previous reply.

Thanks for the quick response.
What I am trying to do is open some .msg files that were draged and droped
into a folder that is not part of Outlook. These .msg files have
information
in them that I look for based on key words in the Subject line. I can open
the .msg files when the are in an Outlook folder but how would I open them
when they are outside of Outlook process?

without importing?
In the former case, see Application.CreateItemFromTemplate (will not
timport
some properties, such as the sender info). In the latter case, use either
Extended MAPI (C++/Delphi) or <plug> Redemption -
RDOSession.GetMessageFromMsgFile
(http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/rdo/rdosession.htm) and RDOMail.Import
(http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/rdo/RDOMail.htm) </plug>

How would I write a VBA code to read .msg files in a folder that is not
in
Outlook?

Thanks in advance for any help,
