Hi Anonymous Monk, Thanks for your time. $message->save; saves it in the Drafts folder within Outlook, but I need the program to create a file on the harddrive as a physical file (.msg). Did not find any useful code snippets on the duckduckgo search engine either.	[reply]

The solution is: $message->SaveAs('C:\test.msg');	[reply]

You have commented on an old node, anonymously. Get a login, it's cheap, and then you can search more easily for your own posts, and get /msgs. You would do better to start a new post, referencing this thread, and show the code you used (see How do I post a question effectively?). -QM -- Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of	[reply]
