Hi,

With my recent Windows 10 upgrade, it seems the File Explorer "preview pane" no longer works for .msg files...

I was wonder if there is a way to import the data from Outlook files in a Windows folder directly into an Excel sheet.

Basically, I would specify the path to the folder "C:/....", ask Excel to sort through the .msg files there and create and spreadsheet which looks something like this:

Column A = SENDER OF THE EMAIL
Column B = RECIPIENT
Column C = BODY OF THE EMAIL

Does anyone know a way to set that up?

Thanks!

Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
