PowerShell: Connect to Outlook, Download Email Attachments, Move email to subfolder.

In this video I demonstrate how to use PowerShell to connect to an Outlook Mailbox, target emails with attachments, download those attachments to a local folder, and then move those emails to a different folder within the Outlook Mailbox. Please email us at [e-mail] for any questions, and new subscribers get access to the full source code.

Hi Leonardo !!!!

[@abelgnonsoa9194]

Thanks

[@rohitghoderao6701]

Hi can you share the PowerShell script here it will be really great

[@techdiver6074]

Don't you have to release the COM object you've acquired (in the case of Outlook not already running) with ReleaseComObject? I do that regularly in C#; but I'm still new to Powershell

[@AIPSolutions]

Yes, you are correct. The object should have been quit.

[@alexrowson9161]

How would you handle folders under folders within the Inbox. For example Inbox/Report/2023/Topic

[@AIPSolutions]

The line referencing your target folder you can try changing to $targetfolder = $inbox.Folders | where-object {_.name -eq "Topic" }

I am using PowerShell 7 with VS Code and followed this tutorial but get this error: "Unable to find type [Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.olDefaultFolders] I spent hours on GOOGLE trying to find an answer but have not had any luck. Please help. Thanks!!

[@AIPSolutions]

You will need to have outlook installed on the computer that will be running the script. Also make sure this line at that start of your script " Add-Type -assembly "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook" " and that should be it.
