    Get metadata from .msg files saved to local drive

    Thanks Hornblower409, this looks like a big step forward. I followed the steps in post #12, but am getting the error message below. I can see that it's worked on your system. Tried "On Error Resume Next" before this part of the code but no luck.

    Folder names - rich text

    Hi I'm trying to use characters which shows up in color in Outlook desktop (such as ⚡⭐🌌🌐🍀) to discern folder hierarchy more easily. I can't find the setting to make it show up in colour, in desktop application. In the web based version of outlook, it does show up in colour, see below. Outlook...
