Answer 1

I would recommend MS Flow to do it, as it has pre defined templates to do.

Less hassle faster set up

Answer 2

the easiest way is ms flow, it comes with thousands of templates you can use and it is a software from microsoft. (same as excel/outlook)

U can use VBA macros to put informations into your worksheet

    Sub Outlook-Senpai()  
        
        Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
        Dim oFolder  As Outlook.Folder
        Dim oNameSpace As Outlook.Namespace
        Dim i As Outlook.MailItem
        Dim ifilter As String
        Dim oRow As Outlook.Row
        Dim oTable As Outlook.Table
    
        Set oApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
        Set oNameSpace = oApp.Session
        Set oFolder = oNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
    ' filter
        ifilter = "[Time] > '02/02/2022'"
        Set oTable = oFolder.GetTable(ifilter)
    ' RemoveALL
        oTable.Columns.RemoveAll
    ' Specify desired properties
        With oTable.Columns
             .Add ("EntryID")
             .Add ("Subject")
             .Add ("ReceivedTime")
             .Add ("Sender")
        End With
        
        Do Until (oTable.EndOfTable)
            Set oRow = oTable.GetNextRow()
            Debug.Print (oRow("EntryID"))
            Debug.Print (oRow("Subject"))
