Save all emails and .msg files in outlook - vba

Question

I've been using a piece of code for awhile to save selected emails as .msg files but I cant figure out what to modify to get it to save all emails:
Option Explicit
Public Sub SaveMessageAsMsg()
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objItem As Object
Dim sPath As String
Dim dtDate As Date
Dim sName As String
Dim enviro As String
Dim strFolderpath As String
enviro = CStr(Environ("USERPROFILE"))
strFolderpath = BrowseForFolder(enviro & "\documents\")
For Each objItem In ActiveExplorer.Selection
If objItem.MessageClass = "IPM.Note" Then
Set oMail = objItem
sName = oMail.Subject
ReplaceCharsForFileName sName, "-"
dtDate = oMail.ReceivedTime
sName = Format(dtDate, "yyyymmdd", vbUseSystemDayOfWeek, _
vbUseSystem) & Format(dtDate, "-hhnnss", _
vbUseSystemDayOfWeek, vbUseSystem) & "-" & sName & ".msg"
sPath = strFolderpath & "\"
Debug.Print sPath & sName
oMail.SaveAs sPath & sName, olMSG
End If
Next
End Sub
I know I need to change the For Each objItem In ActiveExplorer.Selection section to include all items but I'm not overly familiar with VB and haven't found what it needs to be replaced with.
I have tried using current folder and a few other options.

Answer 1

Example would be
Option Explicit
Public Sub Example()
Dim olNs As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olNs = Application.Session
Dim Inbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Set Inbox = olNs.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox) ' Inbox
' // Process Current Folder
CURRENT_FOLDER Inbox
End Sub
Private Sub CURRENT_FOLDER(ByVal ParentFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder)
Dim SUBFOLDER As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim Items As Outlook.Items
Set Items = ParentFolder.Items
Debug.Print ParentFolder.Name ' Print on Immediate Window
Dim i As Long
For i = Items.Count To 1 Step -1
DoEvents
Debug.Print Items(i).Subject ' Print on Immediate Window
Next
' // Recurse through subfolders
If ParentFolder.Folders.Count > 0 Then
For Each SUBFOLDER In ParentFolder.Folders
CURRENT_FOLDER SUBFOLDER
Next
End If
End Sub

Answer 2

Create a function that takes MAPIFolder as a parameter and loops through all items in the MAPIFolder.Items collection. The function must then call itself recursively for all subfolders in the MAPIFOlder.Folders collection.
Your code above must call that function for all folders in the Application.Session.Folders collection (represents all top level folders in Outlook).

Here is the full code I am using to do what I was needing
Option Explicit
Dim StrSavePath As String
Sub SaveAllEmails_ProcessAllSubFolders()
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim n As Long
Dim StrSubject As String
Dim StrName As String
Dim StrFile As String
Dim StrReceived As String
Dim StrFolder As String
Dim StrSaveFolder As String
Dim StrFolderPath As String
Dim iNameSpace As NameSpace
Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application
Dim SubFolder As MAPIFolder
Dim mItem As MailItem
Dim FSO As Object
Dim ChosenFolder As Object
Dim Folders As New Collection
Dim EntryID As New Collection
Dim StoreID As New Collection
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set myOlApp = Outlook.Application
Set iNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set ChosenFolder = iNameSpace.PickFolder
If ChosenFolder Is Nothing Then
GoTo ExitSub:
End If
BrowseForFolder StrSavePath
Call GetFolder(Folders, EntryID, StoreID, ChosenFolder)
For i = 1 To Folders.Count
StrFolder = StripIllegalChar(Folders(i))
n = InStr(3, StrFolder, "\") + 1
StrFolder = Mid(StrFolder, n, 256)
StrFolderPath = StrSavePath & "\" & StrFolder & "\"
StrSaveFolder = Left(StrFolderPath, Len(StrFolderPath) - 1) & "\"
If Not FSO.FolderExists(StrFolderPath) Then
FSO.CreateFolder (StrFolderPath)
End If
Set SubFolder = myOlApp.Session.GetFolderFromID(EntryID(i), StoreID(i))
On Error Resume Next
For j = 1 To SubFolder.Items.Count
Set mItem = SubFolder.Items(j)
StrReceived = Format(mItem.ReceivedTime, "YYYYMMDD-hhmm")
StrSubject = mItem.Subject
StrName = StripIllegalChar(StrSubject)
StrFile = StrSaveFolder & StrReceived & "_" & StrName & ".msg"
StrFile = Left(StrFile, 256)
mItem.SaveAs StrFile, 3
Next j
On Error GoTo 0
Next i
ExitSub:
End Sub
Function StripIllegalChar(StrInput)
Dim RegX As Object
Set RegX = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
RegX.Pattern = "[\" & Chr(34) & "\!\#\#\$\%\^\&\*\(\)\=\+\|\[\]\{\}\`\'\;\:\<\>\?\/\,]"
RegX.IgnoreCase = True
RegX.Global = True
StripIllegalChar = RegX.Replace(StrInput, "")
ExitFunction:
Set RegX = Nothing
End Function
Sub GetFolder(Folders As Collection, EntryID As Collection, StoreID As Collection, Fld As MAPIFolder)
Dim SubFolder As MAPIFolder
Folders.Add Fld.FolderPath
EntryID.Add Fld.EntryID
StoreID.Add Fld.StoreID
For Each SubFolder In Fld.Folders
GetFolder Folders, EntryID, StoreID, SubFolder
Next SubFolder
ExitSub:
Set SubFolder = Nothing
End Sub
Function BrowseForFolder(StrSavePath As String, Optional OpenAt As String) As String
Dim objShell As Object
Dim objFolder ' As Folder
Dim enviro
enviro = CStr(Environ("USERPROFILE"))
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.BrowseForFolder(0, "Please choose a folder", 0, enviro & "\Documents\")
StrSavePath = objFolder.self.Path
On Error Resume Next
On Error GoTo 0
ExitFunction:
Set objShell = Nothing
End Function
