Move unread emails from a specific sender to a folder

[Nina]

Hi Water 

Thank you very much for sharing your UDFs. I know that there is many similar issues to the one I have already on the forum, but I tried different codes and nothing worked for me  since I'm new to autoit and to programing in general I have hard time figuring this out:

I'm trying to use your OutlookEX UDF to move unread emails from a specific sender to a folder.

For now I was trying to see if I can manage to move unread emails from all users to the folder "Unread mails" but it doesn't work

can you please tell me what is the issue with my code?
 

#RequireAdmin

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <OutlookEX.au3>


Global $oOutlook = _OL_Open()
$vFolder = _OL_FolderAccess($oOutlook, "*")
$item_find =_OL_ItemFind($oOutlook, $vFolder, $olMail,"[UnRead]=True", "", "", "", "", 1)
if $item_find[0][0] = 0 Then MsgBox(0, "", @error & "/" & @extended)

_ArrayDisplay($item_find, "unread emails")
_OL_ItemMove($oOutlook, $item_find[1][0], Default, "*unread Mails")

_OL_FolderAccess returns an array. Element 1 holds the folder object.

; #RequireAdmin 

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <OutlookEX.au3>

Global $oOutlook = _OL_Open()
If @error Then MsgBox(0, "", "_OL_Open: " & @error & "/" & @extended)
$aFolder = _OL_FolderAccess($oOutlook, "*")
If @error Then MsgBox(0, "", "_OL_FolderAcces: " & @error & "/" & @extended)
$item_find =_OL_ItemFind($oOutlook, $aFolder[1], $olMail,"[UnRead]=True", "", "", "EntryID", "", 1)
If @error Then MsgBox(0, "", "_OL_ItemFind: " & @error & "/" & @extended)

_ArrayDisplay($item_find, "unread emails")
_OL_ItemMove($oOutlook, $item_find[1][0], Default, "*\unread Mails")

_OL_ItemFind returns the EntryID so _OL_ItemMove works

thank you for your response, I corrected and it seems to create a new folder "unread mails", however, the function _OL_ItemMove doesn't move the unread emails to the new folder, it shows error# 6 and extended: -2147024809

_OL_ItemMove($oOutlook, $item_find[1][0], Default, "*unread Mails")

Updated my script above.

Thank you for your help, it works perfectly now. can you please tell me in which function can I add a parameter to get only unread emails from a particular sender moved to the folder instead of moving all unread emails?

 

thank you in advance, your help is much appreciated.

You could add the properties SenderName or SenderEmailAddress to be returned by _OL_ItemFind (right now you just get the EntryID) and then check for the correct Name or Address before moving the item.

it works 🥂
