Exporting emails from an Outlook subfolder to Exce

Question

I've found a VBA macro that takes e-mails from Outlook and put them into cells in Excel. The code works, but I want to tell Excel only to get e-mails from a specific subfolder. In my Inbox-folder I have a subfolder called Info. I want to be able to get e-mails from this subfolder.

This is the code that I have now:

Sub Download_Outlook_Mail_To_Excel()
'Add Tools->References->"Microsoft Outlook nn.n Object Library"
'nn.n varies as per our Outlook Installation
Dim folders As Outlook.folders
Dim folder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim iRow As Integer
Dim Pst_Folder_Name
Dim MailboxName



'Mailbox or PST Main Folder Name (As how it is displayed in your Outlook Session)
MailboxName = "My email address"

'Mailbox Folder or PST Folder Name (As how it is displayed in your Outlook Session)
Pst_Folder_Name = "Inbox"

Set folder = Outlook.Session.folders(MailboxName).folders(Pst_Folder_Name)
If folder = "" Then
    MsgBox "Invalid Data in Input"
    GoTo end_lbl1:
End If

'Rad Through each Mail and export the details to Excel for Email Archival
Sheets(1).Activate

For iRow = 1 To folder.Items.Count
    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 1).Select
    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 1) = folder.Items.Item(iRow).SenderName
    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 2) = folder.Items.Item(iRow).Subject
    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 3) = folder.Items.Item(iRow).ReceivedTime
    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 4) = folder.Items.Item(iRow).Size
    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 5) = folder.Items.Item(iRow).SenderEmailAddress
    'Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 6) = Folder.Items.Item(iRow).Body
Next iRow
MsgBox "Outlook Mails Extracted to Excel"

end_lbl1:

End Sub

How can I make sure that it gets emails from the subfolder, and not the mainfolder?

Answer 1

Try to use the following code:

'Mailbox or PST Main Folder Name (As how it is displayed in your Outlook Session)
MailboxName = "My email address"

'Mailbox Folder or PST Folder Name (As how it is displayed in your Outlook Session)
Pst_Folder_Name = "Inbox"

' subfolder name
Dim subFolderName As String
subFolderName = "Info"

Set folder = Outlook.Session.folders(MailboxName).folders(Pst_Folder_Name).Folders(subFoldersName)
If folder = "" Then
   MsgBox "Invalid Data in Input"
   GoTo end_lbl1:
End If

Also you may consider using the GetDefaultFolder method of the Namespace class to get a Folder object that represents the default folder of the requested type for the current profile.
