I wonder if this would accomplish the same for my needs: for every person
that wants to be added to our mailing list and completes the "join our
mailing list" form on the website, the infomation will automatically be added
as a new contact in Outlook. Would it be smarter to use a separate contact
folder or use a category to filter them later?
Thank you for your advise.

You need to change your macro security settings to Medium or lower to run
macros.

Do you want these Contacts created only when e-mails are received in your
Inbox, or moved to those sub-folders? Or do you need to create them in one
shot as a batch, running the batch once for every folder containing the
e-mails?

Sounds Magnificent. I really appreciate your assitance, Eric. I am also
running 2003 and am curious. I've pasted these procedures into my
ThisOutlookSession module and restarted Outlook, but this won't seem to run
automatcially, what command should I use to launch this? I tried lookin in my
macros window but was blank. I also thought of running these procedures name
from the Immediate window in the VBE, but I get an error saying "Macros not
enabled in this project".

Also, this is basically what I am trying to get to: a module that will do
the following:
I've got 3 Inboxes setup which get email from 3 different sources.
These Inboxes are named "ERealty", "Realtor.com" and "Website"
I need to create contacts from all emails in each Inbox and save these
contacts in corresponding Outlook contact folders, named similarly (e.g.
"ERealty", "Realtor.com" and "Website")
So we have Inboxes and Contact Folders w/ these names.
These Inboxes and Contact folders are already created and in place.
So I need to create a module that will automatically generate contacts from
each Inbox and save them in their proper Contact folder. ? I really
appreciate your assistance

You don't need to select the folders at all. If all you want is to create a
new Contact from all incoming messages and save it in the default Contacts
folder, you can do so by pasting this code into your ThisOutlookSession
module in the Outlook VBA Editor:

Option Explicit
Dim WithEvents NewMailItems As Outlook.Items

Private Sub Application_Startup()
Set NewMailItems =
Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder( olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub

Private Sub NewMailItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
'THIS WILL FIRE FOR EVERY NEW E-MAIL; YOU CAN USE THE
'Item OBJECT TO WORK WITH THE PROPERTIES OF THE E-MAIL MESSAGE

Dim objContact As Outlook.ContactItem
Dim objMsg As Outlook.MailItem

If Item.Class olMail Then Exit Sub

Set objContact = Application.CreateItem(olContactItem)
Set objMsg = Item

objContact.FullName = objMsg.SenderName
objContact.Email1Address = objMsg.SenderEmailAddress
objContact.Save

Set objContact = Nothing
Set objMsg = Nothing
End Sub

Note that the ItemAdd event is not guaranteed to fire if a large number of
messages are delivered at once. Also, if you do not have Outlook 2003 a
security warning will pop up when the code tries to access the
SenderEmailAddress property. For ways to bypass this, see:

Good morning,

I am really new to VBA for Outlook. I am trying to create a macro/module
that will:
Automatically select the contacts folder,
Select Inbox titled "Realtor.com"
Create a contact from each email that comes into this Inbox.
I am not sure what commands or syntax to use. Would this be a simple
program? Suggestions would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Cordially,
