Saving Outlook email as PDF + Attachments

问题

So I am using a macro to save incoming mail (with an inbox rule and VBA code). The problem I am having is that when there are multiple emails with the same name (and also if the attachments have the same name) they will not save. (they overwrite each other).

I need both the email and the attachments to loop through 1-10 (there can be up to ten emails and attachments with the same names). Here is the code:

Sub SaveAsMsg(MyMail As MailItem)
' requires reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime
' \Windows\System32\Scrrun.dll

Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim strSubject As String
Dim strSaveName As String
Dim blnOverwrite As Boolean
Dim strFolderPath As String
Dim looper As Integer
Dim strID As String
Dim olNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem

strID = MyMail.EntryID
Set olNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set oMail = olNS.GetItemFromID(strID)

'Get Sender email domain
sendEmailAddr = oMail.SenderEmailAddress
companyDomain = Right(sendEmailAddr, Len(sendEmailAddr) - InStr(sendEmailAddr, "@"))

' ### USER OPTIONS ###
blnOverwrite = False ' False = don't overwrite, True = do overwrite

'### THIS IS WHERE SAVE LOCATIONS ARE SET ###
'Currently only saves to yPath. Change the yPath variable to mPath in other areas of the script to enable the month folder.
bPath = "C:\email\" 'Defines the base path to save the email
cPath = bPath & companyDomain & "\" 'Adds company domain to base path
yPath = cPath & Format(Now(), "yyyy") & "\" 'Add year subfolder
mPath = yPath & Format(Now(), "MMMM") & "\" 'Add month subfolder

'### Path Validity ###
'Make sure base path exists
If Dir(bPath, vbDirectory) = vbNullString Then
   MkDir bPath
End If
'Make sure company domain path exists
'If Dir(cPath, vbDirectory) = vbNullString Then
   'MkDir cPath

'Make sure year path exists

   'MkDir yPath

'Make sure month path exists (uncomment below lines to enable)

If anyone has any idea, help would be greatly appreciated.

回答1:

I have noticed the following lines of code:

strID = MyMail.EntryID
Set olNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set oMail = olNS.GetItemFromID(strID)

There is no need to get a new instance of the MailItem class. You can use the instance passed as a parameter.

 If fso.FileExists(bPath & saveName) Then
    fso.DeleteFile bPath & saveName

It looks like you delete existing files instead of saving a new ones with different names.

You may consider using the datetime (not only the date) marker when saving emails/attachments. Or you may check out whether such file exists on the disk already.

回答2:

This works really well once you delete the if statements that delete the file. Thank you for the foundation.

I've modified the PDF portion of your code (for the better, I hope) and fixed an issue that the pdf filename would not increment if it existed already. I had to write a separate loop for the PDF because you basically stopped the loop with this line: pdfSave = bPath & Format(oMail.ReceivedTime, "yyyy-mm-dd-hhmm") & "_" & emailSubject & ".pdf" but I can't seem to get rid of that line without producing an error so made a new loop. Maybe someone can simplify that part for me.

I've also added a line to delete the .mht file only used to create the PDF and modified the filenames a bit:

Function CleanFileName(strText As String) As String
Dim strStripChars As String
Dim intLen As Integer
Dim i As Integer
strStripChars = "/\[]:=," & Chr(34)
intLen = Len(strStripChars)
strText = Trim(strText)
For i = 1 To intLen
strText = Replace(strText, Mid(strStripChars, i, 1), "")
Next
CleanFileName = strText
End Function
