    Outlook Question

    Is it possible to take all incoming email messages to an outlook box and save them to a text file on the computer as they come in? I can leave outlook open. I have Outlook 2003 but can any version of Outlook do this?

    Re: Outlook Question

    You could create a rule in Outlook to either move a copy of the email (for all incoming emails) to a folder, or to run a script (that would append the email to some file).
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.

    You can specify the olTxt argument in the .SaveAsFile method of the attachments collection to do it.
