I add UserDefinedProperties in Outlook with the below code
Sub AddStatusProperties()
Dim objNamespace As NameSpace

Set objFolder = objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

The user can add a value to MyNotes1 field in any email.

If Not IsEmpty(varArraySelected) Then 'not cancelled
For i = LBound(varArraySelected) To UBound(varArraySelected)
If strNote = "" Then
strNote = varArraySelected(i)
Else
strNote = strNote & ";" & varArraySelected(i)
End If

End If
Set objProp = obj.UserProperties.Add("MyNotes1", olText, True)
objProp.Value = strNote
obj.Save
Err.Clear

I need to extract all email properties including the values available under MyNotes field to Excel. How do I recall MyNotes1 values?
This is the Excel code. The part I miss is "myArray(6, i - 1) = item.?????".

I have a folder that has emails with attachments and without attachments. i have the code for extracting the attachments names but if an email doesn't have attachments the code will stop. Any help is welcomed, thank you.

as about your edited question, replace the following snippet
Dim a As Attachments
Set a = olkMsg.Attachments
If Not a Is Nothing Then
excWks.Cells(intRow, 1) = olkMsg.Attachment.Filename
'excWks.Cells(intRow, 2) = olkMsg.SenderEmailAddress

with:
Dim a As Attachment
For Each a In olkMsg.Attachments
excWks.Cells(intRow, 1) = a.FileName
'excWks.Cells(intRow, 2) = a.SenderEmailAddress
Next a
which you must treat appropriately as for the intRow index.
if you are interested in only the first attachment then you could substitute the entire last code with this:
excWks.Cells(intRow, 1) = olkMsg.Attachments.Item(1).FileName
while if you are interested in all attachments then you'll have to rethink about your sheet report structure
I have a VBA code to get whole Global Address List from Outlook 2013 and place the values Name and E-mail Address in an Excel sheet.
The problem is it's only returning e-mails/users from my SMTP (I guess).
In this image, we can see the users from the SMTP as mine covered in black and an external user covered in red. My code:
Sub tgr()
Dim appOL As Object
Dim oGAL As Object
Dim oContact As Object
Dim oUser As Object
Dim arrUsers(1 To 75000, 1 To 2) As String
Dim UserIndex As Long
Dim i As Long
Set appOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set oGAL = appOL.GetNameSpace("MAPI").AddressLists("Global Address List").AddressEntries
For i = 1 To oGAL.Count
Set oContact = oGAL.Item(i)
If oContact.AddressEntryUserType = 0 Then
Set oUser = oContact.GetExchangeUser
If Len(oUser.lastname) > 0 Then
UserIndex = UserIndex + 1
arrUsers(UserIndex, 1) = oUser.Name
arrUsers(UserIndex, 2) = oUser.PrimarySMTPAddress
End If
End If
Next i
appOL.Quit
If UserIndex > 0 Then
Range("A2").Resize(UserIndex, UBound(arrUsers, 2)).Value = arrUsers
End If
Set appOL = Nothing
Set oGAL = Nothing
Set oContact = Nothing
Set oUser = Nothing
Erase arrUsers
End Sub
So, am I doing something wrong?
According to this documentation, the oContact.AddressEntryUserType value should include olExchangeRemoteUserAddressEntry (5) for External Users.
What's in your code is just to list Exchange Users, so it also skips mail-enabled PublicFolders, Distribution Lists, etc.
EDIT
Found a better way to extract name and email address (if any):

Set oGAL = appOL.GetNameSpace("MAPI").AddressLists("Global Address List").AddressEntries
Debug.Print oGAL.Parent.Name & " has " & oGAL.Count & " entries"

arrUsers(UserIndex, 2) = sEmail
End With
Next

I have tried to put together a piece of vba code which does the following.
first it looks for all emails in my inbox folder for the account NewSuppliers#Hewden.co.uk where the subject contains certain key words.
Secondly it looks for all emails in my inbox folder CreditChecks#Hewden.co.uk where the subject contains certain keywords.
Then it exports certain data into excel row after row.
This works fine except with my emails which I export from the CreditChecks#Hewden.co.uk inbox, I want to export only the emails which contains a pdf attachment and save this attachment in a directory and place each seperate pdf document in a folder with the same name as the pdf file.
I've tested my save attachment and export emails scripts separate and they work fine but when I put them together I get an error saying
method or object not found
Set objAttachments = Outlook.Attachments
Can someone please help me get my code to do what I need it to do? Thanks in advance

I am using VBA in Outlook to extract mail information from items in the mainfolder and subfolder. The mainfolder failed to set(capture) the subfolder properties into it and it causes the runtime error.
The runtime error differs whenever I run. For example, sometime I received -970718969 (c6240107) and another time I received -2044460793 (86240107).

Do you get that error immediately or only after processing a large number of items? Most likely you are opening too many items and run out of RPC channels. Is this a cached or an online Exchange profile?
Instead of looping through all items, use the Table object (MAPITable.GetTable) - if nothing else, it will be a lot faster.
EDIT: If you are using Exchange, every store object (message, folder, store) opens an RPC channel. Exchange Server limits the number of RPC channels to 255 per client (can be changed on the server). Do not use "for each" loop (it keeps all items referenced until the loop ends) and avoid multiple dot notation (because you will have implicit variables that you cannot explicitly dereference). You will also need to release all Outlook objects as soon as you are done with them.
set fldItems = mainFld.Items
For i = 1 to fldItems.Count do
set itm = fldItems.Item(i)
'do stuff
set itm = Nothing
next
As for the Table object (introduced in Outlook 2007), see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff860769.aspx. If you need to use this in an earlier version of Outlook, you can use the MAPITable object in Redemption (I am its author); it also has a MAPITable.ExecSQL method that takes a standard SQL query and returns the ADODB.Recordset object.
I have a folder which contains a number of emails and sub-folders. Within those sub-folders are more emails.
I'd like to write some VBA which will iterate through all emails in a certain folder, including those in any of the sub-folders. The idea is to extract the SenderEmailAddress and SenderName from every email and do something with it.
I've tried just exporting the folder as CSV with only these two fields and whilst this works, it doesn't support exporting emails held in sub-folders. Hence the need to write some VBA.
Before I go re-inventing the wheel, does anyone have any code snippets or links to sites which, given a folder name, shows how to get a MailItem object for every email in that folder and subsequent sub-folders?
Something like this ...
Private Sub processFolder(ByVal oParent As Outlook.MAPIFolder)
Dim oFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
For Each oMail In oParent.Items
'Get your data here ...
Next
If (oParent.Folders.Count > 0) Then
For Each oFolder In oParent.Folders
processFolder oFolder
Next
End If
End Sub
