Outlook VBA resources?

Hello all!

I'm looking to do some VBA work with Outlook, but unlike Excel it does not have the nice "Record Macro" feature which comes in quite handy.

Does anyone know of good resources for doing VBA in Outlook?
 
@bobhc
Yes, I have done google-fu and snooped around Outlook forums. I guess I should have better worded my question...just curious to see if anyone here has done any Outlook VBA and what resources they use. Sorry if this thread is noobish.
 
Hi, tobediff!

Outlook Object Model is tightwadly exposed within Office help.

Once I had 20 accounts of a private domain, 3 or 4 from of each Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail, and it was very simple to had all the mail traffic concentrated there in Outlook. Not all the accounts had manually created folders but certainly many of them depending on the defined rules that handled the subject of the mail received if it was generated from the company website (New client consult..., Info about product...). And I quit in the middle the river, as I never ended with a satisfactory method for finding out wether a new mail was in the main InBox, or in an automatically moved folder, or... anything. It was more just a matter of curiosity than an actual need regarding the volume.

If I were you I'd start with:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms268893.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee814736(v=office.14).aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee861520.aspx

Hope it helps.

Regards!

PS2: And regarding noobish or unworded questions, remember Albert Einstein quote: "We are all very ignorant, what happens is that not all ignore the same things" :cool:
 
@SirJB7 - So much stuff that I don't know where to begin. Trying out stuff now.
I think the most accounts I have ever had at one time is three...
PS: Thanks!
PS2: +1 for Einstein.

@ThrottleWorks - Looks informative. Thanks!
 
Hi, tobediff!
Keep in touch if any issue... and even more if you succeed with more than 1 account (2 it's the same as 20) with a couple of folders.:)
Regards!
