Description

Right now I am able to display contents of a folder in a nice table within MFCMAPI. It would be super helpful if we could export the data in the same way they are displayed in the interface - just a simply CSV files without all the details that are contained in the XML.

Research direction

Start by locating the folder-view table and the existing XML export path; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Compare the visible table columns with the XML export fields, then verify that a CSV export reproduces the displayed folder data without XML-only details.
