Save / Extract Outlook Attachments from emails and save them to a Folder

I have been meaning to post this for a while.
Some VBA code to extract attachments from a folder in Outlook and save them.

You can choose the Outlook folder but it is hard coded to save the attachments to C:\Email Attachments\




Sub AttachDetach()
' *******************************************************************************
' Name - AttachDetach
' Description - Removes Attachements from an Outlook Folder and saves them to C:\Email Attachments\
' Date Changed - 10/03/2011 <-- Please keep this up to date
' Changed by - Dan Thomas  <-- Please keep this up to date
' *******************************************************************************

Dim ns As NameSpace
Dim Inbox As MAPIFolder
Dim item As Object
Dim Atmt As attachment
Dim filename As String
Dim i As Integer
Set ns = GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Inbox = ns.PickFolder
i = 0
If Inbox.Items.Count = 0 Then
    MsgBox "There are no messages in the Inbox.", vbInformation, _
           "Nothing Found"
    Exit Sub
End If
  For Each item In Inbox.Items
          For Each Atmt In item.Attachments
       filename = "C:\Email Attachments\" & i & Atmt.filename
       Atmt.SaveAsFile filename
       i = i + 1
    Next Atmt
Next item

If i > 0 Then
    MsgBox "I found " & i & " attached files." _
       & vbCrLf & "I have saved them into the C:\Email Attachments folder." _
       & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Have a nice day.", vbInformation, "Finished!"
Else
    MsgBox "I didn't find any attached files in your mail.", vbInformation, _
    "Finished!"
End If
GetAttachments_exit:
   Set Atmt = Nothing
   Set item = Nothing
   Set ns = Nothing

End Sub
