Programatically export emails in a pst "sent from" a list of users to another pst file

Hi all,

I have a list of about 70 emails. I need to export emails in hr.pst (example file name) where the email was from each user in the list sent to hr@xx.com (example email) and put those message in a blank.pst.

Additionally I need to do the reverse. Export emails in hr.pst where the sender is hr@xx.com and the email was sent to each user in the list and put those sent messages in blank.pst

We don't have exchange and doing this manually through outlook is pretty tedious. I was thinking of utilizing rules in outlook but I would have to run the rule individually for all 70 emails.

Can someone point me to an app or script so I can automate this procedure.

create a blank .pst and attach it to outlook
create a rule to copy messages to hr@example.com to the new pst
for part 2 are you having a pst for each user that is sent from hr.pst?

Hi David,

For part 2 I do not need a pst for each email. I just need to export the emails sent from the 70 people to hr@xx.com and the emails sent from hr@xx.com to each of the 70 people in the list all to one new pst file.

Hi Simonadept I think your suggestion is on the right track.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll give them a a try and let you know what worked.
One more way to achieve the desired result is to create a Search Folder that filters required 70 recipients. After that you'll be able to just drag-drop emails from this Search Folder.

Hi all, thanks again for the input. I tried various methods. SimonAdepts option seemed to work the best. I still have to tinker with removing some emails from the new pst. At least it saves me the time of manually doing this.
