Macro to Export Outlook Fields to Excel
This macro collects the fields from each Outlook message in a selection and writes the values of the fields to an Excel worksheet. It's easily adapted to work with any field and any Outlook item type.
In Excel 2016, rCount is finding the last USED line, not the next blank line. Use rCount = rCount + 1 to move down one line.

Updated November 25 2017 to get all recipient addresses.
Updated October 20 2017 to create a new workbook (user will need to save it). Also added column names and adjusted the column widths.
If you want to run the macro on all messages in the selected folder, [URL='www.slipstick.com/macros/CopyToExcel-selectedfolder.txt']use this file. In addition, it will create the workbook if it doesn't exist and add the columns headers if needed.
An Excel version of this macro is available in [URL='www.slipstick.com/code-samples/CopyOutlookMailtoExcel.xlsm']a workbook template here or [URL='www.slipstick.com/code-samples/CopyMailtoExcel-excel-macro.txt']as a text file here. The workbook code removes hyperlinked URLs from the messages (for easier reading in Excel).

Automate using an ItemAdd or Run a Script Macro
With a few slight modifications, we can watch a folder for new messages and process new mail as it arrives.
This set of macros needs to go into ThisOutlookSession.
Warning: If too many messages come in at one time, the macro could fail.
If you need to filter the messages that added to the spreadsheet you have two options: use an If statement to exit the macro or convert it to a [URL='www.slipstick.com/outlook/rules/outlooks-rules-and-alerts-run-a-script/']Run a Rule script.
If you use an if Statement, it should be the first line of the bjItems_ItemAdd macro.
Private Sub objItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
If InStr(1, Item.Subject, "Tip") = 0 Then Exit Sub
For a run a script rule, delete Private Sub objItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object) and all of the lines above it then use this as the macro name and create your rule.

How to use macros
First: You will need macro security set to low during testing.
To check your macro security in Outlook 2010 or 2013, go to File, Options, Trust Center and open Trust Center Settings, and change the Macro Settings. In Outlook 2007 and older, it's at Tools, Macro Security.
After you test the macro and see that it works, you can either leave macro security set to low or [URL='www.slipstick.com/developer/how-to-use-outlooks-vba-editor/']sign the macro.
Open the VBA Editor by pressing Alt+F11 on your keyboard.
To put the code in a module:
- Right click on Project1 and choose Insert > Module
- Copy and paste the macro into the new module.
