Re: Save Sent mails from outlook to a drive in ".msg" format

[taint]

Greetings, programerv, and welcome to the Monastery.

I don't know how to do it either. ;) I have no background on your environment. I've never seen your computer. Nor do I know where you keep your email. :)

You're not making this easy on us. Are you? Honestly. We've got pretty much nothing to go on. I'd like to suggest you have a look at How do I post a question effectively? To give you a better idea of what we'd need from you to give you a better hand in solving your problem. :)

Best wishes.

hi chris,
The perl program must parse through the sent mail of ms outlook and save all the sent mail to a specific location on the computer. can u please help me on this.

[marto]

is it possible to use Perl to process Outlook emails?, Super Search is your friend. Also please read and understand Tutorials->PerlMonks for the Absolute Beginner.

[programerv]

but they are not saving it into ".msg" format.

[taint]

What have you tried so far? Can you show the Perl script you're working with, that isn't doing that doing that for you?

You haven't given me anything to work with. I'm afraid I'm at a bit of a loss, w/o some Perl to work with.

Best wishes.

# create the object
  use Mail::Outlook;
  my $outlook = new Mail::Outlook();

  # start with a folder
  my $outlook = new Mail::Outlook('Sent Items');

  # use the Win32::OLE::Const definitions
  use Mail::Outlook;
  use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Outlook';
  my $outlook = new Mail::Outlook(olFolderSentMail);

  # get/set the current folder
  my $folder = $outlook->folder();
  my $folder = $outlook->folder('Sent Items');

Infact i do not know how to proceed from here.
