If you know VBScript and look at Outlooks Object Model, you might change your opinion of its slicing/dicing abilities. Each message contains properties exposing all elements of the message, allowing the programmer to have their way with it.
You could use my RMScript DLL to automate Outlook from within RBase and Slice and Dice to your hearts content. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael J.

Certainly Outlook can download from a MAPI source, but its slicing/dicing tools are limited. : : Just off the top 'o the head, I envision an application that draws and parses/deconstructs messages from the downloaded email store into a structured R:Base database where all fields are subject to searching and manipulation. An "R:Base-centric" application which performs the download itself would be icing on the cake. : : Just thinking. : : Bruce : : -------- Original Message -------- : >Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Can Rbase download emails ? : >From: "Mike Byerley" <[email protected]> : >Date: Sat, September 08, 2012 11:26 am : >To: [email protected] (RBASE-L Mailing List) : > : >Either of those can be displayed in the internet control, So what is the : >real question? : > : >Can RBase do it natively?
