I need to create a report of the number of incoming e-mails for a specific date/time range and by category. Each e-mail is categorized, but would also need to report those with blank category, so best to report by all categories. The report would take the form of a list of those e-mails, ordered by category. I can select the range for each category and get the count that way.

Is it possible to create a search, which prompts for start date and time and end date and time and that can be saved and reused for this purpose.

Thanks

You can do instant search, which is set up using a macro - or you can use a view with the fields visible that you need and copy & paste into Excel and filter there.

This macro has some examples - you'll replace the search string with the one you need and use input boxes to get the dates you want to use
For example, for received:>11/1/2019 <11/11/2019 category:="Anniversary"

strStart = InputBox("Enter Start date", "Enter date in mm/dd/yy format")
strEnd = InputBox("Enter End date", "Enter date in mm/dd/yy format")
strCategory = InputBox("Enter Category", "Enter category name")

txtSearch = " received:>" & strStart & " <" & strEnd & "category:=" & chr(34) & strCategory & chr(34)
