Import from shared mailbox

[scottian]

I have to build a database which will import e-mails to a table, I know how to import from a users mailbox, but the import needs to retrieve mails from a shared team mailbox. does anyone know how this can be done?

Well,

Ask your network admin, or check the way outlookacounts are set. The latter is probably the quickest way.

If you use exchange, I can help you reading mailboxes. If not, I wonder what the differences is between reading a single (user) account or the same account used by many users (I mean, have you tried?.

I wouldnt know where to start, sorry.

Ive checked the help, but this seems way advanced.

If its any help this is a snippet of what im using.

Set OlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set Inbox = OlApp.GetNamespace("Mapi").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
MsgBox Inbox.FolderPath

The msgbox tells me the path to my inbox, but how would i manipulate it.

thanks for your time

...check outlook itself and check the email accounts. it should be very easy to see if Microsoft exchange server is present or not. Also, are you working in a corporate environment?


even better, I can send an example by mail - have a mailadress?

I found it, it is an exchange server.

and id appreciate a look at your example.

thanks very much

Easyit,

Tahnks very much for the example file, unfortunately i get an unrecognised format error, so im assuming its a leter version of Access. My fault, i should have stated that im using '97.

But thanks anyway, i'll try to get a copy of 2003 and see if i can convert it, but again im not very good.

cheers

Scottian,

Resend a converted DB to you...Hope it works, the conversion wizard said that references could be missing.
