I do not like the fact that the person sending a meeting request is the one deciding how long before the meeting a reminder would be set.

Since I don’t like the popup on my phone, I’m not using reminders.

So to get rid of incoming reminders I wrote a small script.

Press ALT+F11 and paste this code:

Sub snwRemoveMeetingReminder(Item As Outlook.MeetingItem)
    If TypeOf Item Is Outlook.MeetingItem Then
        Item.ReminderSet = False
        Item.Save

        Set Appt = Item.GetAssociatedAppointment(True)
        If Not Appt Is Nothing Then
            Appt.ReminderSet = False
            Appt.Save
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Then add the the script to incoming meeting requests.

Now the script will remove reminders on every incoming meeting request… It’s a client side rule, so you need to have Outlook running to get it to work.

I like to keep my inbox clean… so every now and then I sort out mails to different folders. That is boooring.

So I wrote a little script.

Sub InboxCleaner()
    Dim oNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace
    Dim oInboxFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Dim oDestFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Dim oItem As Object
    Dim i, iMove, iNoMove As Integer
    Dim sMsg, sFolder As String
    Dim bDoMove As Boolean

    Set oNamespace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set oInboxFolder = oNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

    sMsg = ""
    iNoMove = 0
    iMove = 0

    For i = oInboxFolder.Items.Count To 1 Step -1
        Set oItem = oInboxFolder.Items(i)

        If InStr(oItem.SenderEmailAddress, "@") <> 0 Then
            sFolder = oItem.SenderEmailAddress ' Get sender address
            sFolder = Right(sFolder, Len(sFolder) - InStrRev(sFolder, "@")) ' Only domain name
            sFolder = Left(sFolder, InStr(sFolder, ".") - 1) ' Skip everything after the first dot
            sFolder = UCase(Left(sFolder, 1)) & Right(sFolder, Len(sFolder) - 1) ' Upper case first letter

            On Error Resume Next
            ' This row you might want to customize... I have a folders like  Mailbox\Customers\TheCustomerName
            Set oDestFolder = oInboxFolder.Folders.Parent.Parent.Folders("Customers").Folders(sFolder)

            If Err.Number <> 0 Then
                sMsg = sMsg & "Missing folder: " & vbTab & oItem.SenderEmailAddress & "  (" & sFolder & ")" & vbCrLf
                Set oDestFolder = Nothing
                Err.Clear
                bDoMove = False
                iNoMove = iNoMove + 1
            Else
                sMsg = sMsg & "Move:           " & vbTab & oItem.SenderEmailAddress & " -> " & sFolder & vbCrLf
                bDoMove = True
                iMove = iMove + 1
            End If
            On Error GoTo 0

            If bDoMove Then
                ' Comment out this line if you only want to test
                oItem.Move oDestFolder
            End If
        End If
    Next

    sMsg = sMsg & vbCrLf & _
        vbCrLf & _
        "Processed " & oInboxFolder.Items.Count & " items in inbox..." & vbCrLf & _
        "Moved:          " & vbTab & iMove & vbCrLf & _
        "Missing folder: " & vbTab & iNoMove & vbCrLf & _
        "Skipped:        " & vbTab & (oInboxFolder.Items.Count - (iMove + iNoMove))

    MsgBox sMsg, vbOKOnly, "Inbox Cleaner / Rikard Ronnkvist / snowland.se"

End Sub
