Custom Office Programming and Automation
In Outlook 2007 Add-in: Saving Outlook e-mail attachments automatically, author Robert Martim demonstrates how to write an add-in for Outlook 2007 using VSTO that saves file attachments on incoming e-mails automatically.
I've demonstrated the same using VBA in Outlook 2003 below. It uses the stock event code I use when creating event handlers in Outlook.
In Save all attachments from selected folder, I posted a method for scrubbing an Outlook mail folder of file attachments in order to reduce your network footprint (or make your PST file smaller).
A couple of commenters asked if there's a way to make sure the filename is unique. There are two ways (I know of) to accomplish this goal, and we'll explore both in this post.
In Outlook, you might have a need to grab the items collection for any of the default folders. For example, if you wanted to iterate through a folder and set flags, create reminders, or move emails based on subject, you'd want a reference to the Items collection for that folder.
