Outlook has no macro recorder. You write macros in Outlook using VBA code

that you have to write from scratch.

You can select items in a folder, get the Selection collection for that

window (Explorer) and iterate the Selection. For each selected MailItem you

can use the SaveAs() method to save the items and then delete the item using

a count down loop.

You might want to search for code similar to what you want to get you

started at www.outlookcode.com
