Hi,
I can do this and had done similar work before.
I have few questions before proceeding.
1)What fields you want to capture,e.g. From, to, subject, content, etc.
2) Do you want the mail content should be saved as html code or plain text. Extracting saving the content as html code is required if it contains rich text.
3) Whether the msg contains any attachments, if so then how you want me to save. If it contains attachments then I can extract it and put in a folder and the put the path to that file in excel.
4) What is the minimum windows os you want.
Now a days it's generally windows 7 or higher.
Here is what I am going to do.
1) For all you requirements the best approach would be to create a Windows service application.
2) It will sit in the system tray, visible with an icon.
3) You can right click on the icon to get the context menu option. There you can configure
A. the msg folder path and output folder path.
B. The schedule for running the Application in background.
C. Excel file name format with an inti name and datetime appending or something else of your liking.
4) If the laptop or computer is off during the scheduled time then the program will run once the os starts.
5) I will provide the program as an installer or setup package. You can install or uninstalled in any no of machine.
Let me know your views and comments on my proposal. We will discuss in details.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks,
Shankar
