Get email address of all users from all mails in an Outlook Folder

Hi,
Ever had the need to extract all email adresses from a folder in Outlook?

Let's say you want to make a reply to a lot of people who are not in your addressbook (contacts), but who have sent you an email which you have archived in a specific folder (or from your Sent items).

I archive my emails all the time using one folder pr. "case", "customer" etc. - and sometimes it's ery useful to be able to write to everyone who had to do with the specific case. This is when it get's a bit frustrating - you have to find a way to get all the email-adresses, and only once!

This is how to do it the easy way:
1. In Outlook press ALT+F11 (opens Microsoft Visual Basic console)
2. Open "ThisOutlookSession" from the Project tree (left menubar)
3. Paste the code below into the project (right window)
4. Press F5 to Run the code (execute)
5. Select the folder you want to use and hit OK (might take some time to complete)
6. Press ALT+G and then copy the email-addresses from the "immediate" window (debug window)

Oh, and remember to use the BCC field if they shouldn't see eachothers email addresses (in the case you want to send an email to all of them).

CODE:
Sub GetEmailAddressesInFolder()
Dim objFolder As MAPIFolder
Dim strEmail As String
Dim strEmails As String
Dim objItem As Object

Set objFolder = Application.GetNamespace("Mapi").PickFolder

For Each objItem In objFolder.Items
If objItem.Class = olMail Then
strEmail = objItem.SenderEmailAddress
If InStr(strEmails, strEmail) = 0 Then strEmails = strEmails + strEmail + ";"
End If
Next
Debug.Print strEmails
End Sub

The above code is tested on Microsoft Outlook 2007, but should work on older Office systems too.

Original source here - I just had to modify the code a bit.

Bye for now!
