Use MSAcess VBA and IMAP to move all mail in an OWA "inbox" folder to a folder named "processed"
I already have an application that can log into an OWA mailbox, and process all of the inbox items according to rules we have set up. Unfortunately, this application does not allow me to move the processed items out of the inbox, so I am currently doing that manually. What I would like to do is create some Microsoft VBA code that will do this move for me immediately after the first program runs. Ideally, the vba code would do the following:
log into the email account
create a new folder under the processed folder named..."today's date" in this format......yyyymmdd
move all items currently into the inbox into the folder just created.
My abilities are very much limited to working within MSAccess.
Any help on how to get started with this would be greatly appreciated.

Can you elaborate your question, please?
What kind of application? Bought or do you own the source? In the second case, how do you access your mails?

The application is Simx's Target Reports. This is a visual basic product for processing text and pdf files, it has a mapi set of functions, some of which work fine, however the move method does not work, so I was hoping to do that in MS Access.
Well, you can do it, but it is a lot of work. Well, have you asked the vendor?
Otherwise, why not using an e-mail client which does that (e.g. Thunderbird).
