Hi all,
Need help on macro to pull information from outlook.
I have gone through the previous threads but not able to customize the solution to suit my need. I have taken the code / file from following link "https://www.vishalon.net/blog/expor...-meta-data-into-excel/comment-page-3#comments" and it works fine but I need to hardcode certain folders/subfolders to remove human interference and get the data in excel.
For example I have shared email boxes and it has Inbox as a folder and WIP, closed, issue etc as subfolders. I want to hardcode these folder names so that I get all the emails from all these sub folders either in the same excel file or in different excel file.
Could somebody help me with this?


**Code:**


Option Explicit
' Got this code from http://superuser.com/questions/8162...ile-name-email-metadata-from-outlook-to-excel
Sub GetMailInfo()


Dim results() As String


' get contacts
results = ExportEmails(True)


' paste onto worksheet
Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(UBound(results), UBound(results, 2))).Value = results


MsgBox "Completed"
End Sub


Function ExportEmails(Optional headerRow As Boolean = False) As String()


Dim objOutlook As Object ' Outlook.Application
Dim objNamespace As Object ' Outlook.Namespace
Dim strFolderName As Object
Dim objMailbox As Object
Dim objFolder As Object
Dim mailFolderItems As Object ' Outlook.items
Dim folderItem As Object
Dim msg As Object ' Outlook.MailItem
Dim tempString() As String
Dim i As Long
Dim numRows As Long
Dim startRow As Long
Dim jAttach As Long ' counter for attachments
Dim debugMsg As Integer


' select output results worksheet and clear previous results
Sheets("Outlook Results").Select
Sheets("Outlook Results").Cells.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select


Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
'MsgBox objOutlook, vbOKOnly 'for debugging
Set objNamespace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
'MsgBox objNamespace, vbOKOnly 'for debugging
'Set objInbox = objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
'MsgBox objInbox, vbOKOnly 'for debugging
Set strFolderName = objNamespace.PickFolder
Set mailFolderItems = strFolderName.Items


' if calling procedure wants header row
If headerRow Then
startRow = 1
Else
startRow = 0
End If


numRows = mailFolderItems.Count


' resize array
ReDim tempString(1 To (numRows + startRow), 1 To 100)


' loop through folder items
For i = 1 To numRows
Set folderItem = mailFolderItems.Item(i)


If IsMail(folderItem) Then
Set msg = folderItem
End If
