vba to open an email (simulate a double click)

[lsman11]

Hi,

I am looking for some vba code to traverse through, lets say, my inbox folder, and open each email in there (similar to double clicking on each email), so that an outlook window pops up for each email... any ideas?

Any help appreciated. Thanks !

Dim ns As NameSpace
Dim Inbox As MAPIFolder
Dim Item As Object

Set ns = GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Inbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

For Each Item In Inbox.Items
... (here is where lets say, i'd like to open each email)
Next Item

If anything, can someone please point me at the correct API for VBA? I know that MailItems exist, perhaps i should be using those, but i do not know the methods i can use on those type of objects...

Thanks.

When in the VBE play with the F2 (Object browser) and F1 (Help) keys.

What about something like this ?
For Each Item In Inbox.Items
Item.Display
Next Item
