something like below do? this looks for tasks but if you change the GetDefaultFolder(13) to GetDefaultFolder(4) i think it looks into email folder. some of the .subject items will be similar but you may want others

loOutlook = createobject('outlook.application')
loNamespace = loOutlook.GetNameSpace("mapi")
loTaskbox = loNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(13)   && task folder
loitems=lotaskbox.Items

for v = 1 to loitems.count
	loItem = loitems.item(v)
	with loItem
		? .Subject
		**?.Duedate
		**?.status
		?.Body
		**?.owner
	endwith
endfor

>I am looking for a simple way of connecting to a mailbox and extracting mail into a DBF. I have seen lots of options about this but I would like the snippets of code. Can anybody point me in the right direction please? Marcia has mentioned about Foxtalk November 2002 issue which takes you through this but I do not have a copy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
