It was some time since you did this, just found it! thank you for this just what I was looking for!
However the Archive scripts work perfect, but the calender scripts keep getting errors...
I just moved my hole production from windows to OSX and trying to learn my way around :)
I would really like to know how to get the calender script to work.
Greatful for all input!
Regards

Well some of the " and some of the -- got converted into .

If you fix those then the script will save.

Dave,
about the archive script: can it archive outside outlook, into a folder on the desktop or on a webaddress?
Now I get error: error "Microsoft Outlook kreeg een fout: folder "MailArchive" of exchange account id 1 kan niet worden opgevraagd. " number -1728 from folder "MailArchive" of exchange account id 1
