Hello Experts.

Below is the code which i was using since year...but need to ammend the code.

when user click on the button on excel should get only current date emails and ammend to excel..



Code:
Sub Outlook_Mail_To_Excel()
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 = "Some@gmail.com"

'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

Guys.

Any Qucik help..

Error at : Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 1) = folder.Items.Item(iRow).SenderName

Thanks
 
Chihiro.

Thanks for the response.

I have already have code above...excel workbook is empty...when we run the code..

This should get emails copied to excel...with the following.

Sendername
Subject
Size
Body.

Now the works fine only problem getting the sendername.

If we comment sender name it works


Error at : Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 1) = folder.Items.Item(iRow).SenderName

Hope this help...let me know still looking for attachment..

Thanks.
 
Pls always use code tags as I did for #2.
Have you checked the same in break mode.

I am attaching a xl which I developed little back but lots of optimisation is pending in that. This might help you.

Does the code run fine if you exclude "SenderName"?

If not, then I suspect syntax error here.
Code:
 folder.Items.Item(iRow).SenderName

Perhaps change it to...
Code:
 folder.Items(iRow).SenderName

Edit: Oh wait Outlook folder item syntax is correct with original. You should check type of item and ensure that it is mail.
Code:
If folder.Items.Item(iRow).Class = olMail Then
'Your code
End If

As well using multiple dots in a single line is not a good idea too.

You may ref like as below.
Code:
Dim o as mailitem
o = folder.Items.Item(iRow) 

Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 1) = o.SenderName

Below is outlook code snippet from another project having almost all your requirements.

Code:
            Set BUNCH_OF_Items = CurrentFolder.Items

                    Extract1 = filtereditmsextract1.Count
                   
                    For i = 1 To Extract1
                    On Error Resume Next

                        If FINDCat <> "" Then
                            Set WsConfCat = WConf.Sheets("ExcludeCategory")

Hello Guys...Thanks for the best replys.

Deepak : I must say you are champ...it's working great..it has great interface to retrieve mails form outlook.

But i have few points....Please help

1) When we are selecting dates...still trying to retrive all mails.
2) macro stops after retrieving 483 mails.

Attaching screenshot for your idea.

Screenshot 1

Screenshot 3

upload_2017-1-18_0-26-6.png


But must say...This is the one of the best macro i have seen till date...Thanks champ.
 
Deepak's code is meant to export attachments to specified folder.

So, date parameters are used to save attachments found in that range to a folder. All emails in specified folders are outputted into the sheet.

You should move "ImportData2Excel" line found in cmdProcess_Click() sub to If check for date range and also modify argument.

Should look like something like below.

Code:
        If Int(objItem.ReceivedTime) <= inteDate And Int(objItem.ReceivedTime) >= intsDate Then
            emailProcessedData = saveAttachments2(objItem, strF, strExt, cpathE(ostrFolder))
            ImportData2Excel Sheets("output").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1, objItem, strF, atmtCount, strprocessedext
        End If

Couldn't replicate your 2nd issue. Ran about 1000+ emails without issue.
 
Hello Chihiro.

Fantastic macro...But date selection not taking into consideration by the macro ...importing all mails in output sheet perfectly and attachments are saved in a folder.

But based on date it should read mails and show in out put sheet.

Any chance for amendment sir.
 
Hmm.... odd. Tested with afore mentioned modification on my end and worked without issue.

Note: My main has M/d/yyyy format. Tested on another machine that has yy/MM/dd format. Both worked without issue. Even tested on another language, worked fine.

See attached with modification to Deepak's module.

Guys..

Worked with small piece of code as per my requirment..

but still we can enhance the code...Screenshot for your reference

1) Data should embed from blank rows as per below screenshot it started from 73 row leaving all blanks at the top.
2) Size should not have decimals.


Still working on this...Hopefully

Change it like below.

  Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
  n = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
  For Each olObject In olfdStart.Items

      If olObject.ReceivedTime >= Date1 Then
        n = n + 1

        Cells(n, 2) = olMail.SenderEmailAddress
        Cells(n, 3) = olMail.Subject
        Cells(n, 4) = olMail.ReceivedTime
        Cells(n, 5) = olMail.SenderName
     
        Cells(n, 6) = Int(olMail.Size / 1024) & " " & "KB"
     
      End If
    End If
  Next
  Set olMail = Nothing
  Set olFolder = Nothing
  Set olObject = Nothing
End Sub
 
Hello Chihiro.

Thanks for change you made..it works..

one thing noticed whether it's Deepak code or my code it handles not more then 500 mails later getting error...but still holds good.


Thanks a ton...
 
I can't help you unless you specify what error code is returned and at what line.

You can try...
The method I mentioned earlier, posted by Debaser to trim down the amount of item you need to loop through (it will restrict the items returned from the folder by condition).
 
Good morning.


Error attached
