Guest John Lever Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I am very new to AUTOIT - is there any way of reading messages from a Microsoft Outlook INBOX using AUTOIT V3 and also deleting them once they have been read ? Any suggestions welcome. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzetabi Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Well... Not sure what you mean. Do you want that autoit take email text and send it some reading program in order to listen it?I do not use OutLook, but this may help you:http://sayzme.sourceforge.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnLever Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 My question is much simpler - all I really want to find is examples of AutoIt V3 scripts which read Outlook (and Outlook Express) messages from the INBOX so I can filter on a string in the message subject field to choose messages with the defined string content. Also I want to filter on a defined string in the message body. in the same way. I then want to dump the chosen messages into another Outlook folder and delete the original message(s) in the INBOX . Do any such examples exist ? As I said I am very new to AutoIt V3 and still getting to grips with it . John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Doxie Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 You can use the built-in Outlook rules to do so. No need for AutoIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JohnLever Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I can use the filter facility in Outlook and Outlook Express - but this does not solve my problem. I want to filter the messages as specified but also do other things with them (calculations, writing to file, invocation of other Office programs etc) which AUTOIT V3 gives me. I may also want to change via a screen prompt the text I am filtering on (which again AUTOIT V3 is good at). John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Doxie Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Well then AutoIT might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valik Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 It sounds like what you want to do would be achieved the most easiest by using Outlook's built-in VBA support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
