I want to delete an email from the Sent Items folder after the email is forwarded with a rule.
I tried to use "brettdj" code from another post:Macro to delete an email but it's not working for me at all .
what I'm looking for it's a vba macro that can delete an email when you run the script with the rule.
any idea how I can accomplished that
thanks in advance
You don't have a corresponding entry in your contacts folder (address book). The Add method of the Recipients class accepts the name of the recipient; it can be a string representing the display name, the alias, or the full SMTP e-mail address of the recipient.
Sub forwardEmail(itm As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oExplorer As Outlook.Explorer
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oOldMail As Outlook.MailItem
Set oExplorer = Application.ActiveExplorer
If oExplorer.Selection.Item(1).Class = olMail Then
Set oOldMail = oExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
Set oMail = oOldMail.Forward
oMail.Recipients.Add "test#gmail.com"
oMail.Recipients.Item(1).Resolve
If oMail.Recipients.Item(1).Resolved Then
'delete forwarded email from sent items
oMail.DeleteAfterSubmit = True
oMail.Send
'delete original email from inbox
'oOldMail.Delete
Else
MsgBox "Could not resolve " & oMail.Recipients.Item(1).Name
End If
Else
MsgBox "Not a mail item"
End If
End Sub

I have been able to create an automated email reply as I wanted. However, I wanted to add text in the body of the email and cc to add email address. How should I add it?
Sub FwdSelToAddr()
Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objItem As Object
Dim objFwd As Outlook.MailItem
Dim strAddr As String
Dim objRecip As Outlook.Recipient
Dim objReply As MailItem
On Error Resume Next
Set objOL = Application
Set objItem = objOL.ActiveExplorer.Selection(1)
If Not objItem Is Nothing Then
strAddr = ParseTextLinePair(objItem.Body, "Email:")
If strAddr <> "" Then
Set objFwd = objItem.Forward
objFwd.To = strAddr
objFwd.Display
Else
MsgBox "Could not extract address from message."
End If
End If
Set objOL = Nothing
Set objItem = Nothing
Set objFwd = Nothing
End Sub
This is what I have done so far. I just want to be able to add CC email address and text in the body in the automated reply.
You need to modify the code a bit by setting the Cc property and the HTMLBody one if you need to modify or update the message body:
If strAddr <> "" Then
Set objFwd = objItem.Forward
objFwd.To = strAddr
objFwd.Cc = "email#address.com"
objFwd.HTMLBody = "<b>Hello world</b>"
objFwd.Display
Else
Be aware, to preserve the message body from the original email you need to insert your content between the opening <body> and closing </body> tags. If you need to add in the beginning of the message paste your additional text right after the opening tag, if you intend to paste it in the end of message - paste right before the closing tag.
Also you may find the Recipients property of the MailItem class helpful. It allows a more convenient way for setting up recipients for the Outlook items. You can read more about that property in the article that I wrote for the technical blog - How To: Fill TO,CC and BCC fields in Outlook programmatically.
I want to forward all calendar items within a certain date range to a specific email address without notifying the organizer.
Is there a way to do this using VBA code? I have the below code to not notify the meeting organizer but need to modify to forward all calendar items to a specific email address?
Also note I cannot forward as icalendar. I have a script which forwards emails when moved to a specific folder, however i cannot seem to convert or move meeting invites into the normal inbox folder.
Sub ForwardMeetingInvitation()
Dim olSel As Selection
Dim olMeeting As MeetingItem
Dim olFWMeeting As MeetingItem
Dim Recip As String
Set olSel = Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection
Set olMeeting = olSel.Item(1)
'Replace with your own desired recipient's email address
Recip = "pirate#fakemail.com"
Set olFWMeeting = olMeeting.Forward
With olFWMeeting
.Recipients.Add (Recip)
.Attachments.Add olMeeting
.Display
End With
Set olSel = Nothing
Set olMeeting = Nothing
Set olFWMeeting = Nothing

I want to send the body of a Word document as an email from MS Word 2016.
I want the user to select recipients from the address book. I want them to only be put in the BCC field.
How do I monitor the to/from/CC/BCC fields for changes, and then move those changes to BCC?
The documentation indicates the use of Inspectors, but nothing specific about accessing the contents of these fields.
I have two approaches:
open a new Outlook mail item, load the contents of the Word file to it, and then try to monitor the fields that way.
send directly from Word using the Quick Access Toolbar option "Send to Mail Recipient".
I don't know if that is an option based on what I was reading and if those fields are accessible via VBA.
Code example of what I have so far:
Sub SendDocumentInMail()
Dim bStarted As Boolean
Dim oOutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oItem As Outlook.MailItem
On Error Resume Next
'Get Outlook if it's running
Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err <> 0 Then
'Outlook wasn't running, start it from code
Set oOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
bStarted = True
End If
'Create a new mailitem
Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With oItem
'Set the recipient for the new email
.To = "recipient#mail.com"
'Set the recipient for a copy
.CC = "recipient2#mail.com"
'Set the subject
.Subject = "New subject"
'The content of the document is used as the body for the email
.Body = ActiveDocument.Content
.Send
End With
If bStarted Then
'If we started Outlook from code, then close it
oOutlookApp.Quit
End If
'Clean up
Set oItem = Nothing
Set oOutlookApp = Nothing
End Sub
It seems you are interested in the SelectNamesDialog object which displays the Select Names dialog box for the user to select entries from one or more address lists, and returns the selected entries in the collection object specified by the property SelectNamesDialog.Recipients.
The dialog box displayed by SelectNamesDialog.Display is similar to the Select Names dialog box in the Outlook user interface. It observes the size and position settings of the built-in Select Names dialog box. However, its default state does not show Message Recipients above the To, Cc, and Bcc edit boxes.
The following code sample shows how to create a mail item, allow the user to select recipients from the Exchange Global Address List in the Select Names dialog box, and if the user has selected recipients that can be completely resolved, then send the mail item.
Sub SelectRecipients()
Dim oMsg As MailItem
Set oMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Dim oDialog As SelectNamesDialog
Set oDialog = Application.Session.GetSelectNamesDialog
With oDialog
.InitialAddressList = _
Application.Session.GetGlobalAddressList
.Recipients = oMsg.Recipients
If .Display Then
'Recipients Resolved
oMsg.Subject = "Hello"
oMsg.Send
End If
End With
End Sub
My task is to send an email containing a report and send another email containing another report to the same email thread by way of replying/forwarding to the sent email (excluding some recipients).
Option Explicit
Sub TestReply()
Dim objApp As Application
Dim objNewMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objReply As Outlook.MailItem
Set objApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNewMail = objApp.CreateItem(0)
' Outgoing email
With objNewMail
.Subject = "Test sending email"
.To = "abc#abc.com"
.HTMLBody = "This is the outgoing email."
.Send
End With
' Reply email
Set objReply = objNewMail.ReplyAll
With objReply
.HTMLBody = "This is the reply emal."
.Display
End With
Set objApp = Nothing
Set objNewMail = Nothing
Set objReply = Nothing
End Sub
I can't find a way to send the follow up email (either by reply or forward).
When I try the above code, it says error the item is moved/deleted. I guess it is becaused when the email is sent, the objNewMail odject is also terminated.
I tried adding RE: or FW: to the subject of the original email but then the two emails will not be in the same thread but independent emails.
An additional problem is that I have two email accounts in Outlook: my own email and team email and the reports are to be sent from the team email.
You can determine if an item added to the sent folder matches objNewMail.
In ThisOutlookSession
Option Explicit
Private WithEvents sentFolderItems As Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
'Set sentFolderItems = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderSentMail).Items
' Reference any folder by walking the folder tree
' assuming the team folder is in the navigation pane
Set sentFolderItems = Session.folders("team mailbox name").folders("Sent").Items
End Sub
Private Sub sentFolderItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim myReplyAll As MailItem
If Item.Class = olMail Then
'do not use InStr unless you change some part of words in original subject
' or another reply will be generated
If Item.Subject = "Test sending email" Then
Set myReplyAll = Item.ReplyAll
With myReplyAll
.HTMLBody = "This is the reply email."
.Display
End With
End If
End If
End Sub
Sub TestReply()
Dim objNewMail As MailItem
'Set objNewMail = CreateItem(olMailItem)
' Add, not create, in non-default folder
Set objNewMail = Session.folders("team mailbox name").folders("Inbox").Items.Add
' Outgoing email
With objNewMail
.Subject = "Test sending email"
.To = "abc#abc.com"
.HTMLBody = "This is the outgoing email."
.Send
End With
End Sub
Note: Application. and Outlook. are not needed when code is in Outlook.
Call Send on the original email (objNewMail) only after you construct the reply.
Right so currently your code is doing this:
Creating a mail, sending it.
Trying to reply to the mailitem object which is already sent.
What you need is an event Hook to catch the mail when it's received by yourself. (assuming this is how you're reply all and removing some recipients for report 2)
Here is how you accomplish this:
First Create a WithEvents as Items call AllMyItems, then a hook in the AllMyItems_ItemAdd, then initialize the event when Outlook Starts using Application_Startup (a built in event)
Be very careful to identify criteria for forwarding / actioning the incoming mail item, since this event code will scan every mail sent to your main inbox and evaluate it. IF you want to further reduce the risk of forwarding a mail item to the wrong person, consider using an outlook rule to sort it into a custom folder, and then setting that folder's location as the Set AllMyItems = line instead of default folder
Option Explicit
'for the Default DL inbox
Private WithEvents AllMyItems As Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim olapp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olapp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olapp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
'Set myolitems = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
'all my items in the main box
Set AllMyItems = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
Set olapp = Nothing
Set objNS = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub AllMyItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
On Error Resume Next
If TypeName(Item) <> "Mailitem" Then
If TypeName(Item) = "ReportItem" Then GoTo 0 'undeliverables shows as a report item
If TypeName(Item) = "MeetingItem" Then GoTo 0
Dim oItem As MailItem
Dim myForward As MailItem
Set oItem = Item
'use the next line to check for a property of the incoming mail, that distinguishes it from other mail, since this event will run on every mail item
If InStr(1, oItem.Subject, "Your public folder is almost full", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
Set myForward = oItem.Forward
myForward.Recipients.Add "derp#derpinacorp.com"
myForward.Importance = olImportanceHigh
'MsgBox "uno momento"
myForward.Send
Else
End If

Newbie poster with Outlook VBA. Intermediate Excel VBA coder.
I have a VBA routine that autoforwards all incoming email to a Gmail account. It is not all my code, (modified from a blog post) but it works. I need to keep a copy of all my email received in all my accounts so I can consolidate them into one main one. In the Outlook 2010 Exchange account, all the forwarded mail gets saved in the SENT folder as a copy.
Is it possible to delete the autoforwarded copy in the SENT folder, without deleting all SENT emails? I need to keep the emails I actually respond to.
I would not have a problem using conversation mode in the INBOX, to store the replied to emails. but as it now stands, everything is duplicated due to the bcc copy in the SENT folder when I toggle Conversation mode for the INBOX.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
