Is Outlook that come with Windows 10 applicable? or is Microsoft Outlook required for VBA? Thanks!
You should have installed and configured Outlook available where you are running the VBA Code.
Can you do this to where you use a specified folder in the code instead of choosing each time?
Yes Rebecca, it is possible to specify the folder in the code. I suggest you to have a look at Outlook Email Management Tool. Once downloaded, we can customize your tool copy for free with remember feature, means the tool will remember last browsed folder to avoid browsing the folder again and again.
