Hi All,

 

I am sure that this is a very simple question, but how can I connect to my outlook (not exchange) using Power query. I have created a folder in outlook of people who have replied to me. What I want to do is to use power query to extract the email address, but I don't know how to connect to the .pst file.

 

Thank you in advance

 

Chris

Hi Chris,

I'm not aware of a way to connect PQ to read from your PST file.  If your email was connected to Exchange that would be a different matter.

I have written some VBA to read your Inbox (or other folders)

Extract email address from Outlook Messages

Regards

Phil
