I have zero experience in VBA coding, but I currently have a functioning code I copied somewhere online that successfully extracts certain details from each email. I was wondering if the code can be supplemented or modified to include the email addresses of recipients and those in the CC list as well. The code is as follows -
Sub FetchEmailData()
Dim appOutlook As Object
Dim olNs As Object
Dim olFolder As Object
Dim olItem As Object
Dim iRow As Integer
' Get/create Outlook Application
On Error Resume Next
Set appOutlook = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If appOutlook Is Nothing Then
Set appOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Set olNs = appOutlook.getnamespace("MAPI")
'Set olFolder = olNs.GetDefaultFolder(6) ' 6 == Inbox for some reason
Set olFolder = olNs.session.PickFolder
' Clear
ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells.Delete
' Build headings:
Range("A1:E1") = Array("From:", "To:", "CC:", "Date", "SenderEmailAddress")
For iRow = 1 To olFolder.items.Count
Cells(iRow 1, 1) = olFolder.items.Item(iRow).Sender
Cells(iRow 1, 2) = olFolder.items.Item(iRow).To
Cells(iRow 1, 3) = olFolder.items.Item(iRow).CC
Cells(iRow 1, 4) = olFolder.items.Item(iRow).receivedtime
If olFolder.items.Item(iRow).SenderEmailType = "EX" Then
Cells(iRow 1, 5) = olFolder.items.Item(iRow).Sender.GetExchangeUser().PrimarySmtpAddress
Else
On Error Resume Next
Cells(iRow 1, 5) = olFolder.items.Item(iRow).SenderEmailAddress
End If
Next iRow
End Sub

You can use the Recipients
property to get all recipients of a particular mail item in Outlook. The Recipient.Type property returns or sets a long representing the type of recipient. For mail items values are shown in the OlMailRecipientType enumeration:
olBCC
- 3 - The recipient is specified in theBCC
property of the Item.olCC
- 2 - The recipient is specified in theCC
property of the Item.olOriginator
- 0 -Originator
(sender) of the Item.olTo
- 1 - The recipient is specified in theTo
property of the Item.
So, you may find the a Recipient object which corresponds to the CC field and use the Recipient.AddressEntry property which returns the AddressEntry
object corresponding to the resolved recipient.
Set myAddressEntry = myRecipient.AddressEntry
The AddressEntry.Address property returns or sets a string representing the email address of the AddressEntry
. In case of Exchange accounts you may use the AddressEntry.GetExchangeUser method which returns an ExchangeUser
object that represents the AddressEntry
if the AddressEntry
belongs to an Exchange AddressList
object such as the Global Address List (GAL) and corresponds to an Exchange user. In that case the ExchangeUser.PrimarySmtpAddress property returns a string representing the primary Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) address for the ExchangeUser
.

This demonstrates how you might apply one of the possible answers in How do you extract email addresses from the 'To' field in outlook?.
