_OL_Example_NewMail_Event.au3 (2012-10-16)
When a new mail arrives a message box with SenderName and Subject is displayed.
Outlook has a lot of events you can act upon. This example script shows how to do this.

Tested on Windows 7 SP1 with Outlook 2010 32 Bit.

_OL_Example_SentMail_Event.au3 (2012-10-16)
When a mail is sent a copy is stored in the Sent Mail folder. This triggers the ItemAdd event for this folder.
The example script displays the Subject of the new item.

Get the currently used Outlook profile in Outlook XP, 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013 (2013-06-16 - provided by user orbs)
User orbs has posted a very helpful example script that returns the name of the currently used Outlook profile.
Outlook provides this functionality only for Outlook 2007 and later. This example works for every version!
 
 
PST to MSG converter (2013-06-17 - provided by user orbs)
User orbs has written a PST to MSG converter for Outlook. It converts an Outlook mail store to its elements as MSG files, maintaining folders structure.

 
Import EML files to an Outlook folder (2020-04-25)
This example lets you import all EML files from a directory and store them as mails in an Outlook folder.
Cusomize the script to your liking by modifying some variables (logging, continue on error, import directory, output folder ...).
If you use logging and set the import directory and output folder the script can run silent.

Outlook is in cached exchange mode .. I don't really have a choice in this.

Thank you,

Doesn't seem to work for me. Windows XP SP3 - Outlook 2003 (all known updates)

Unfortunately AutoIt Event handling doesn't work with Outlook 2003. You need at least Outlook 2007. Edited April 24, 2011 by water
