Hello all! Hope someone can help a bit. I receive about 100 emails on a regular basis from a customer. I need to save these selected emails into a folder on my local Hard Drive with the current date. I have found a code that appears it would do what I need, but unfortunately, the pinned folder does not show when I open and browse the folders. It also bombs out with error code 76 after creating a folder.

My goal would be to create a folder on the HD and actually "MOVE" the selected emails (I could even specify the sender if it would be easier) using vba. Below is the code I am working with that I found on another site. Any assistance would be most appreciated!! Thanks as always!

Code:
