This is what I do at the moment :-

Open Outlook (2003)
Download my emails
Select an email
Click File - Save As...
Switch to Outlook Message Format (*.msg)
Locate my 'save messages' folder and click Save to save the email as a
..msg file in the selected folder.

This is what I would like to do :-

Open Outlook (2003)
Download my emails
Select an email
Click a button on the tool-bar which would automatically save the
selected email as a .msg file in a preselected folder.

What code would I need to do that. I have written code stored in the
VbaProject.OTM file before so that would be my first choice. I have
also seen Web sites that recommend using an Add-In file (.dll) but I
have not done that before so that would not be my preference. I have
created a button on the tool-bar with code so I am familiar with the
procedure for that part.

The other problem I have is that I will be testing this with OL2003
but I also need it to work on OL2007, hopefully that will be possible
using the same code (no idea at the moment on how to add buttons to a
ribbon but will cross that bridge when I get to it, if I ever do).
