Is it possible to fetch data from Ms-Outlook express and sto

Post by robin1983 »

Dear All,

How are you everyone! I need a help from you all. Firstly, I want to know is it possible to fetch the email details from the Outlook to Excel or Database by using PHP. MS outlook has his own feature to export the details. But, by this its not possible to extract the body of the mail. Here, I want to know, is it possible to fetch mail details like sender email, sender date, received date, subject, body of the mail etc and save in database by using PHP, Apachee and MySql. If yes, kindly give some idea so that I can start working on the same.

I hope, I will get +ve response from you all.

With Regards,

Hello Robindra,

you can export contacts data in excell file click here to see the steps in details, then you can use reading excell file via php.
or
you can use LDAP function to read contacts from mail server and PHP IMAP functions to read mails from server.

please let me know is this is what you looking for...

Sujith

Hi Sujith,

Thanks for the quick response. I have the idea of extracting the details in Excel. But, here i want to fetch all the email details sent time, received time, sender email, body of mail directly from the ms outlook and store in the Database so that i can arrange and fetch the details anytime.


Waiting for your reply .

Regards,
