FW: Saving email to Access database?

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

This old method works great in Office 2010 -- much faster, and that's
not just the RAM talking. The only change for Access 2010 is in step 2:

2. External Data => More => Outlook Folder.

Hi Nancy,

That was me, with a little help from Hans V. at Woody's Lounge. But I
prefer using Access to save to Excel, as follows:

1. Open new MDB file in Access.

Repeat steps 2-7 for each desired Outlook folder:
2. File => Get External Data => Import.
3. File Type Outlook, select desired Outlook folder.
4. Copy imported table.
5. Open new Excel file.
6. Edit => Paste Special => Text.
7. Save and close Excel file.

8. Delete imported Access table and close Access DB.
9. Delete new MDB file.

The Excel columns include the date and time that messages are received,
created, and modified. Of course, they also include the Priority,
Subject, From, CC, To, Message Size, Contents [body], Prefix [RE, FW],
etc.

I guess if you want to save it as an Access DB, you could stop after
step 3.
