Use macro to move a mail item to a specific folder, how ?

[Vassilis]

Hi,

I want some guidelines on how to create a macro which when i run it the
message (mail item) will be moved on a particular folder exactly as it was
down automatically by a rule. Unfortunaly i cannot use a rule cause their is
no pattern on the message so it has to be done manually and fairly easy.

I'm familiar with VBA but i need some starting points. Am i goinf to use the
item. properties on the visual basic editor ? how can i specify a folder
through code ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

thank you

You can either use Namespace.PickFolder to let the user select a folder or,
to get a non-default folder, walk the folder hierarchy using the Folders
collections or use a function that does that for you. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/getfolder.htm

You will probably also find the GetCurrentItem() function from
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=50 useful.
