Folder path to enterprise vault using VBA for email migration - vba

I have a long list of folders and to many rules for outlook to handle using the standard rules manager. I wrote code that would classify and move items to folders but recently I was migrated to an Enterprise Vault. I am trying to find the folder path to update my code. I tried something like
Outlook.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").Folders("Vault - DOE, JOHN").Folders("My Migrated PSTs").Folders("PR2018")
but honestly I have no idea what the correct path should be. Everything I find online deals with pulling selected items out of the vault and not moving items into it. Below is an excerpt of the existing code. This is on Office 365/Outlook 2016.
Sub Sort_Test(Item)
Dim Msg As Object
Dim Appt As Object
Dim Meet As Object
Dim olApp As Object
Dim objNS As Object
Dim targetFolder As Object
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Set Msg = Item
Set PST = Outlook.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").Folders("PR2018")
checksub = Msg.Subject
checksend = Msg.Sender
checksendname = Msg.SenderName
checksendemail = Msg.SenderEmailAddress
checkbod = Msg.Body
checkto = Msg.To
checkbcc = Msg.BCC
checkcc = Msg.CC
checkcreation = Msg.CreationTime
checksize = Msg.Size
'Classes Folder
If checksub Like "*Files*Lindsey*" Or checksub Like "*Course Login*" _
Or checksend Like "*Award*eBooks*" Then
Set targetFolder = PST.Folders("Education").Folders("Classes")
Msg.Move targetFolder
GoTo ProgramExit
End If
If targetFolder Is Nothing Then
GoTo ProgramExit
' Else
' Msg.Move targetFolder
End If
' Set olApp = Nothing
' Set objNS = Nothing
Set targetFolder = Nothing
Set checksub = Nothing
Set checksend = Nothing
ProgramExit:
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume ProgramExit
End Sub

Try this code:
Sub MoveToFolder()
Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim olNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim olArcFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim olCompFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim mailboxNameString As String
Dim myInspectors As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myCopiedInspectors As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim M As Integer
Dim iCount As Integer
Set olNameSpace = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olArcFolder = olNameSpace.Folders("Emails Stored on Computer").Folders("Archived")
Set olCompFolder = olNameSpace.Folders("Emails Stored on Computer").Folders("Computer")
For M = 1 To olArcFolder.items.Count
Set myItem = olArcFolder.items(M)
myItem.Display
Set myInspectors = Outlook.Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
Set myCopiedInspectors = myInspectors.copy
myCopiedInspectors.Move olCompFolder
myInspectors.Close olDiscard
Next M

How to setup VBscript to run in a specific folder in Outlook [duplicate]

How can I in an Outlook VBA macro iterate all email items in a specific Outlook folder (in this case the folder belongs not to my personal inbux but is a sub-folder to the inbox of a shared mailbox.
Something like this but I've never done an Outlook macro...
For each email item in mailboxX.inbox.mySubfolder.items
// do this
next item
I tried this but the inbox subfolder is not found...
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim objFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Set objNS = GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objFolder = objNS.Folders("myGroupMailbox")
Set objFolder = objFolder.Folders("Inbox\mySubFolder1\mySubFolder2")
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim Msg As Outlook.MailItem
For Each Item In objFolder.Items
If TypeName(Item) = "MailItem" Then
Set Msg = Item
If new_msg.Subject Like "*myString*" Then
strBody = myItem.Body
Dim filePath As String
filePath = "C:\myFolder\test.txt"
Open filePath For Output As #2
Write #2, strBody
Close #2
End If
End If
ProgramExit:
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume ProgramExit
Next Item
End Sub
In my case the following worked:
Sub ListMailsInFolder()
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim objFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Set objNS = GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objFolder = objNS.Folders.GetFirst ' folders of your current account
Set objFolder = objFolder.Folders("Foldername").Folders("Subfoldername")
For Each Item In objFolder.Items
If TypeName(Item) = "MailItem" Then
' ... do stuff here ...
Debug.Print Item.ConversationTopic
End If
Next
End Sub
Likewise, you can as well iterate through calender items:
Private Sub ListCalendarItems()
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set olNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olRecItems = olNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks)
strFilter = "[DueDate] > '1/15/2009'"
Set olFilterRecItems = olRecItems.Items.Restrict(strFilter)
For Each Item In olFilterRecItems
If TypeName(Item) = "TaskItem" Then
Debug.Print Item.ConversationTopic
End If
Next
End Sub
Note that this example is using filtering and also .GetDefaultFolder(olFolderTasks) to get the builtin folder for calendar items. If you want to access the inbox, for example, use olFolderInbox.
The format is:
Set objFolder = objFolder.Folders("Inbox").Folders("mySubFolder1").Folders("mySubFolder2")
As advised in a comment "move the next item line to before the ProgramExit label"
Sub TheSub()
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim fldrImAfter As Outlook.Folder
Dim Message As Outlook.MailItem
'This gets a handle on your mailbox
Set objNS = GetNamespace("MAPI")
'Calls fldrGetFolder function to return desired folder object
Set fldrImAfter = fldrGetFolder("Folder Name Here", objNS.Folders)
For Each Message In fldrImAfter.Items
MsgBox Message.Subject
Next
End Sub
Recursive function to loop over all folders until the specified folder name is found....
Function fldrGetFolder( _
strFolderName As String _
, objParentFolderCollection As Outlook.Folders _
) As Outlook.Folder
Dim fldrSubFolder As Outlook.Folder
For Each fldrGetFolder In objParentFolderCollection
'MsgBox fldrGetFolder.Name
If fldrGetFolder.Name = strFolderName Then
Exit For
End If
If fldrGetFolder.Folders.Count > 0 Then
Set fldrSubFolder = fldrGetFolder(strFolderName,
fldrGetFolder.Folders)
If Not fldrSubFolder Is Nothing Then
Set fldrGetFolder = fldrSubFolder
Exit For
End If
End If
Next
End Function

Access 365 vba problem with moving specific outlook 365email message to subfolder

Having problems moving Outlook specific mail item to subfolder. I have spent time with an Outlook MVP on Access Vba Code To Move Outlook Mail Item To Different Folder Fails - Sometimes to figure this out.
Just determined that Windows 10 Access and Outlook 2019 show the same behavior. so it must be in the code??
Maybe need an experienced Access person to take a look.
I have verified that:
Dim Mailobject As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myDestFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
immediately before the MOVE code, I have verified that Mailobject is still defined and is what I want by printing mailobject.subject and mailobject.sender.
I have verified myDestFolder by printing mydestfolder.name and mydestfolder.folderpath
Note that the code does work occasionally but certainly not very often.
I have listed below my code without the processing I do on each message and hiding an email address:

OK this is code that works. It obviously has a backwards processing of messages in the inbox to avoid problems with inability to MOVE more than one matching message. However my original code code not MOVE ANY matching messages.
The code I used as a base for this solution is from a web site listed at the beginning of my code as a comment. I am thankful for that code.

Searching Outlook Folder

I want to search a specific Outlook folder using an activecell value.
I tried Excel VBA for searching in mails of Outlook and VBA Search in Outlook.
The closest I was able to get:
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim myitems As Outlook.Items
Dim myitem As Object
Dim Found As Boolean
Dim OutlookSearch as string
Outlooksearch = Cstr(Activecell.cells(1,4).Value)
Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myInbox = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myitems = myInbox.Items
Found = False
For Each myitem In myitems
If myitem.Class = olMail Then
If InStr(1, myitem.Subject, "sketch") > 0 Then
Debug.Print "Found"
Found = True
End If
End If
Next myitem
'If the subject isn't found:
If Not Found Then
MsgBox "Cannot find"
End If
myOlApp.Quit
Set myOlApp = Nothing
I want to use the string in Activecell.cells(1, 4) as the subject for a search in a specific Outlook folder in the inbox.
I get is the MsgBox even if I've sent an email containing values that match with activecell.
You can specify the folder to search in, within the inbox, by using the .Folders property.
Set myInbox = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("myFolder")
I've had a play around and come up with the code below. No need to set references to Outlook.
Sub Test1()
Dim oOutlook As Object 'Outlook.Application
Dim nNameSpace As Object 'Outlook.Namespace
Dim mFolderSelected As Object 'Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim cFolder As Object
Dim oItem As Object
Dim oMyItem As Object
Dim sOutlookSearch As String
Dim aFolders() As String
Dim i As Long
'sOutlookSearch needs to be something like:
'"Mailbox - Darren Bartrup-Cook\Inbox"
sOutlookSearch = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 4)
sOutlookSearch = Replace(sOutlookSearch, "/", "\")
aFolders() = Split(sOutlookSearch, "\")
Set oOutlook = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
Set nNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set mFolderSelected = nNameSpace.Folders.Item(aFolders(0))
If Not mFolderSelected Is Nothing Then
For i = 1 To UBound(aFolders)
Set cFolder = mFolderSelected.Folders
Set mFolderSelected = Nothing
Set mFolderSelected = cFolder.Item(aFolders(i))
If mFolderSelected Is Nothing Then
Exit For
End If
Next i
End If
'Set mFolderSelected = nNameSpace.PickFolder 'Alternative to above code block - just pick the folder.
For Each oItem In mFolderSelected.items
If oItem.class = 43 Then '43 = olmail
If InStr(1, oItem.Subject, "sketch") > 0 Then
Debug.Print "Found: " & oItem.sendername
Exit For
End If
End If
Next oItem
End Sub
The code block for finding the correct folder was taken from here:

Outlook 2010 VBA Invalid or Unqualified Reference

I'm trying a different approach to something that I was working on the other day. At work, we use Outlook 2010 and receive emails with .XLSX attachments throughout the day. I'm trying to figure out how to use VBA in Outlook to check incoming emails for attachments, then if the attachment count is > 0, test the attachment and if it's a spreadsheet, update tblOutlookLog with the senders address book information. This is only my 2nd or third day experimenting with VBA outside of MS Access and I'm fumbling in the dark trying to figure out syntax. I've posted the code below from Outlook below. I get an error in the olInbox_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object) section at the .Subject line stating that it is an "invalid or unqualified reference". I apologize in advance in it's sloppy. Thank you for any assistance or direction.
Option Explicit
Private WithEvents InboxItems As Outlook.Items
Dim olns As NameSpace
Dim olInbox As MAPIFolder
Dim olItem As Object
Dim olAtmt As Attachment
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Const strdbPath = "\\FMI-FS\Users\sharp-c\Desktop\"
Const strdbName = "MSOutlook.accdb"
Const strTableName = "tblOutlookLog"
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Set olns = GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olInbox = olns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
Set db = OpenDatabase(strdbPath & strdbName)
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(strTableName, dbOpenDynaset)
End Sub
Private Sub Application_Quit()
On Error Resume Next
rst.Close
db.Close
Set olns = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub olInbox_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim olItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim olAtmt As Outlook.Attachment
Dim strFoldername As String
Dim strFilename As String
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
For Each olItem In olInbox.Items
For Each olAtmt In olItem.Attachments
If olItem.olAtmt.Count > 0 Then
If Right$(olAtmt.FileName, 5) = ".xlsx" Then
strFilename = "\\FMI-FS\Users\sharp-c\Desktop\Test" & olAtmt.FileName
olAtmt.SaveAsFile strFilename
i = i + 1
rst.AddNew
rst!Subject = Left(.Subject, 255)
rst!Sender = .Sender
rst!FromAddress = .SenderEmailAddress
rst!Status = "Inbox"
rst!Logged = .ReceivedTime
rst!AttachmentPath = strFilename
Next
rst.Update
End If
Next olAtmt
Next olItem
Set olAtmt = Nothing
Set olItem = Nothing
End Sub
You need to prefix items with the object:
rst!Subject = Left(olItem.Subject, 255)
And so forth. I think you may have removed With at some stage.
