Extracting outlook email metadata

[goksn]

Hi All,



I am very new to outlook (not as a user, but as a programmer). My project requires extraction of metadata from Outlook emails.

Something like

1.Take a separate msg file (or PST file)
2.Load the file into outlook (or without loading also)
3.Find the metadata of that email, something like To,CC,BCC,Created time, (Whether that email has) attachments etc.

How to do this? Is it possible to do this using VB.net or simple VBA?

If yes, can any one of you please provide high level plan (approach to the problem)?

Thanks a lot.

Regards
Gokul
