Outlook version
Outlook 365 64 bit
Email Account
IMAP
I'm using Outlook 365, W10, not using Exchange. For below, it uses the the default contacts folder (using the name of my form) to change the message class in the defaults contact folder.

How can I update this to select a different contacts folder that is not the default contacts folder to update the message class.

Sub ChangeMessageClass()
Set olNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set ContactsFolder = olNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
Set ContactItems = ContactsFolder.Items
For Each itm In ContactItems
If itm.MessageClass = "IPM.Contact" Then
itm.MessageClass = "IPM.Contact.Good News Contact"
itm.Save
End If
Next
End Sub

Thank you

Shawn
 
I got it to work in the current folder, but still seeing if I can select another folder.

Sub ChangeMessageClass()
Set olNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set ContactsFolder = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder.Items
Set ContactItems = ContactsFolder
For Each Itm In ContactItems
If Itm.MessageClass = "IPM.Contact" Then
Itm.MessageClass = "IPM.Contact.SRM"
Itm.Save
End If
Next
End Sub
 
This : Set ContactsFolder = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder.Items
Should be just this: Set ContactsFolder = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder

Then use this to set the items - Set ContactItems = ContactsFolder.Items


Selecting the folder first and running it is generally the easiest way to do it - but you can hard code a folder by name
Subfolder of contacts: Set ContactsFolder = olNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).folders("folder name")
Same level as Contacts: Set ContactsFolder = olNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).Parent.folders("Folder name")

Diane:

I asked about selecting a folder. What I meant is when I run the Macro I select what folder to use the macro to run on. I don't think I was clear in my question.

I may be misunderstanding your guidance. I tried both versions below and they seem to work the same. They update the message class in the folder I have active (clicked on).

How do they differ and what am I missing?

Set ContactsFolder = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder.Items
Set ContactItems = ContactsFolder

Set ContactsFolder = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
Set ContactItems = ContactsFolder.Items
