Read latest email

[akhendre88]

Hello,

I have written a macro to go to the specific folder in inbox and read the latest mail and display it via msgbox, however I am not able to do the 2nd part i.e reading the mail body and display it through msgbox. Below is my code,

Sub chnageFolder()
    Dim ns As Outlook.NameSpace
    Dim exp As Outlook.Explorer
    Dim myInbox As Folder, folder1 As Folder, folder2 As Folder
    Dim myOlItems As Outlook.Items
    Dim mItem As Outlook.mailItem
        
    Set ns = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set exp = Application.ActiveExplorer
    
    'Accessing the Inbox
    Set myInbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
    
    'Changing the current folder from inbox to Data Alerts
    Set folder1 = myInbox.Folders.Item("Alerts").Folders.Item("Data Alerts")
    Set exp.CurrentFolder = folder1
    Set myOlItems = folder1.Items
    
    If (mItem.UnRead = "True") Then
        MsgBox mItem.Display
    End If
            
End Sub

Please suggest.

Thank you

Hi,

Normally people copy mail content to a Word doc, though I have never done it.
However this appears to work. Though the formatting will be up the creek using a MsgBox and there's a content limit to think about.

  For Each mItem In folder1.Items
    
    If (mItem.UnRead = "True") Then
        copyMail = mItem.Body
        MsgBox (copyMail)
    End If
    Next
