Using VBA To Export Rules

Question

I have code that walks the Rules collection via VBA. There appears to be something missing in rules that move a message to a folder.

For example, consider a folder named GotIt. I have two folders with that name. One is a subfolder of Collection1 and the other is a subfolder of Collection2. When walking the Rules collection, the target folder is simply listed as GotIt. I cannot find anything which says what GitIt is a subfolder of.

Now when you browse Rules & Alerts in Outlook. The target folder is also listed as GotIt. But when you click on GotIt in the move it to the GotIt folder it opens a listing that show what folder it is under.

How can I find that while walking the Rules collection in VBA?

Hi @Saberman ,

Welcome to our forum!

Looks like your issue is more related to vba, please kindly understand that the Outlook tag here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client. In order to better solve your problem, we will add "Office Management" tag.

As a workaround, it’s suggested that you could use the Outlook built-in feature to export rule. More information: Import or export a set of rules.
