Dear list
I have a script (below) that imports from (Mac) Outlook Express 5.02 "INBOX'
into Filemaker Pro 5.03 which works as it should, (thanks to Diana) which I
would like to modify and would like some help as follows:
1) I would like to CHOSE the folder to import from OE
2) I would like to have the selected folder NAME put into a field in FMP
3) I would like all messages imported to be move to a another folder - eg
'imported' or to be able to CHOSE where to move them.
Mac G3/OS 8.6 AS 1.3.7
Many thanks

You're welcome to use it at your own risk, but please leave this statement
in tact.
The purpose of this script is to export messages from the inbox of Outlook
into Filemaker.
I run this script with with inbox as the front most mailbox. Your target
database must also
be the front most database. The field names I'm using are message, from,
subject, and date_sent.
They're all text fields. You can alter them below if necessary. I'm using
Outlook Express 5.02
and Filemaker 5, but it should work with other versions of Filemaker and
probably other versions of Outlook as well.*)
