    VBA Macro for Archiving IMAP Emails to PST

    COM add-ins are a lot more powerful, but not really for a beginner at VBA. (I haven't done an add-in is probably 20 years.) I'm trying to think of a good - and fast - way to make a macro work. It could scan all folders and only copy messages since the last run but Outlook can't run macros...

    VBA Macro for Archiving IMAP Emails to PST

    If everything is in the inbox, it's fairly easy to watch the inbox and copy. But if the messages are being moved to other folders, it can be a lot of folders to watch. The more you watch, the slower it works and could miss things - it would be better to use a COM add-in at that point, especially...

    BTW - if you want html formatting, it's myForward.HTMLBody = Left(Item.HTMLBody, 1000) But... the underlying html code counts towards the character count. This screenshot will give you an idea of how much could be lost to HTML code - the plain text version has more lines not shown in the...

    Anyone integrated AI website builders with Outlook for automated client communications?

    Probably this one from wordpress.com: AI Website Builder: Launch a Site in Minutes I still question the quality of the site and contents of AI generated sites, and they steal content from other sites which may or may not have accurate information. A lot of AI generated sites come up in my...

    Fresh Install of Windows 11, saved previous image, how to retrieve Outlook Contacts

    There would be a contacts folder - either in an IMAP data file or in a PST file. The ost would be in the same Outlook folder as the autocomplete list - \Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook A PST would likely be in the documents \ Outlook files folder, but could be anywhere. If you...

    Yahoo via POP

    It depends on your version of Outlook and license. I can't recall if cox accounts pull up the yahoo log in screen - if not, then you need the app password.

    Yahoo via POP

    Did you use an app password? POP requires an app password- IMAP does not as it brings up the yahoo login page. For regular yahoo accounts, get the app password in the account > security section. I think cox uses that page but some (like AT&T) make you log into their website to access it.
