Transfer data of Outlook emails in shared folder to Excel


I am sharing with you my Excel VBA code to receive email data from Outlook.

When I start Excel and Outlook and run the VBA code I get an error on

Set Folder = Outlook.Session.Folders(MailboxName).Folders(Pst_Folder_Name).Folders(subFolderName)

When I close and re-open Outlook I get all the information into the table up to 30 days back, then I get the message

code 438 object doesn't support this property or method

on

Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 1) = Folder.Items.Item(iRow).ReceivedTime

I have a default Outlook email address and a shared email address. There is a subfolder in the shared email address.

I'm trying to get the email from the shared email address and subfolder only.

Sub GetEmailsInTo()

    Dim ol As Outlook.Application
    Dim ns As Outlook.Namespace
    Dim Pst_Folder_Name As String
    Dim MailboxName As String
    Dim subFolderName As String
    
    Set ol = New Outlook.Application
    Set ns = ol.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    
'Mailbox or PST Main Folder Name (As how it is displayed in your Outlook Session)
MailboxName = "shareemails@info.com"

'Mailbox Folder or PST Folder Name (As how it is displayed in your Outlook Session)
Pst_Folder_Name = "Inbox"

'subfolder name
subFolderName = "important"

Set Folder = Outlook.Session.Folders(MailboxName).Folders(Pst_Folder_Name).Folders(subFolderName)
If Folder = "" Then
    MsgBox "Invalid Data in Input"
    GoTo end_lbl1:
End If
    
Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown).End(xlToRight)).Clear

'Date
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "[$-409]ddd dd/mm/yy;@"
Range("A2:A500").Select
Selection.ColumnWidth = 13
Range("A2:A500").HorizontalAlignment = xlLeft
Range("A2:A500").VerticalAlignment = xlCenter

Range("A1:E1").Select
With Selection
    .VerticalAlignment = xlBottom
    .WrapText = False
    .RowHeight = 55
    .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
End With

Range("B2:B500").Select
With Selection
    .WrapText = True
    .ColumnWidth = 16
    .Rows.AutoFit
    .HorizontalAlignment = xlLeft
    .VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
End With

Range("C2:C500").Select
With Selection
    .WrapText = True
    .ColumnWidth = 40
    .Rows.AutoFit
    .HorizontalAlignment = xlLeft
    .VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
End With

Range("D2:D500").Select
With Selection
    .WrapText = True
    .ColumnWidth = 170
    .Rows.AutoFit
    .VerticalAlignment = xlTop
    .HorizontalAlignment = xlLeft
End With

Range("E2:E500").Select
With Selection
    .WrapText = True
    .ColumnWidth = 50
    .Rows.AutoFit
    .VerticalAlignment = xlTop
    .HorizontalAlignment = xlLeft
End With

    'Rad Through each Mail and export the details to Excel for Email Archival
Sheets(1).Activate

For iRow = 2 To Folder.Items.Count
    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 2).Select
    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 1) = Folder.Items.Item(iRow).ReceivedTime
    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 2) = Folder.Items.Item(iRow).SenderName
    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 3) = Folder.Items.Item(iRow).Subject
    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 4) = Folder.Items.Item(iRow).To
    Sheets(1).Cells(iRow, 5) = Folder.Items.Item(iRow).CC
    
Next iRow
    
    MsgBox "Email import complete"
    
end_lbl1:
    
End Sub

Solution

  • Non-mailitems may not have a mailitem property. As well iRow is one more than the item index.
