Parse an email folder(Outlook 2010) that contains undelivered or returned email errors

RE : your question,

Where in your code do you designate the name of the folder in which the emails reside in?

I have a special folder where a rule puts the undeliverable mail in that folder.

Normally returned undelivered emails appear in the "Inbox".

the designation is from the selection on the desired mailbox.

for example if you select your INBOX folder then you run this code. it will extract emails from Inbox only.

if you have a specific folder then select it first then run the macro it will extract from the selection.

this part of the code

Set rep = Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder

Select allOpen in new window

triggers the folder on which the macro should excerpt.  now it depends where is actually your folder, is it sub-folder to the default folder or is it a default folder.

 if you want change that to specific default folder or subfolder then you need to replace the abovementioned line with the below

for example

dim rep as outlook folder

set rep = Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("your subfolder name")
set  Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder= rep

Select allOpen in new window

if your folder is not subfolder or is any default folder then simply remove ".Folders("your subfolder name")"  from the code and if the folder is not INBOXFOLDER Then use one of the below default folders as needed.
