Bounce handler for Outlook PST

[AndyZ]

It seems like I should be able to do the following with eMail Bounce Handler: I send out an organization newsletter which I regularly get about 1000 bounces on. I want to clean up my mailing list, so want to extract the email addresses from the bounced messages that I presently collect and filter into separate bounce folders. I do not want to use EBH in "live" mode on my mailbox, but in offline mode on my "bounced emails" folder in Outlook PST file.

I use Aid4Mail to save the bounced mails as EML messages. However when I Dredge I can only operate on one EML file at a time, and I have over 1000!

Can anyone suggest how to use EBH on a folder in Outlook? Thanks!

The best here is the live mode actually.

Thank you for the quick reply. I have an atypical application in that I have the already existing bounced mail folders and a SQL database that I want to prune. My intent is to extract a list of the bounced addresses which then will get fed into a SQL query to delete those records from the database. Do you know of any utilities that will do that?

Thanks again.

Have you tried with phpmyadmin and a SQLquery?

DELETE FROM `TABLE_NAME` WHERE `EMAIL_FIELD` = 'EMAIL_ADDRESS1' OR `EMAIL_FIELD ` = 'EMAIL_ADDRESS2'
OR `EMAIL_FIELD ` = 'EMAIL_ADDRESS3'
...

You can create that query with a text editor with some find and replaces.
