I have the below code and have it is on Outlook VBA on ThisOutlookSession

But I am still not able to download the attachments in the folder, I am trying this for quite a while now but no luck, did
google as well. It is not showing any error, but still not downloading the attachment in the folder

Help please.

Code:
Public WithEvents objInboxItems As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
   Set objInboxItems = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub objInboxItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
   Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
   Dim strSenderAddress As String
   Dim strSenderDomain As String
   Dim objAttachment As Attachment
   Dim strFolderPath As String
   Dim strFileName As String


   If Item.Class = olMail Then
      Set objMail = Item


      'Get sender domain
      strSenderAddress = objMail.SenderEmailAddress
      strSenderDomain = Right(strSenderAddress, Len(strSenderAddress) - InStr(strSenderAddress, "@"))


      'Change to the specific domain as per your needs
      If strSenderDomain = "vs@gmail.com" Then
         If objMail.Attachments.Count > 0 Then
            For Each objAttachment In objMail.Attachments


                strFolderPath = "E:\Performance Report\"
                strFileName = objMail.Subject & " " & Chr(45) & " " & objAttachment.FileName
                objAttachment.SaveAsFile strFolderPath & strFileName
            Next
         End If
      End If
   End If
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Try this please:

Run the macro and select the folder that contains the emails.

Code:
Sub download_attachments()
  Dim olApp As Outlook.Application, olmail As MailItem, Att As Object
  Dim olFolder As Outlook.Folder, sPath As String, y As Long, strfile As String
  sPath = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\"
  '
  Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.application")
  Set olmail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
  Set olFolder = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").PickFolder
  '
  For Each olmail In olFolder.Items
    If TypeName(olmail) = "MailItem" Then
      y = 1
      For Each Att In olmail.Attachments
        strfile = sPath & olmail.Attachments.Item(y).Filename
        olmail.Attachments.Item(y).SaveAsFile strfile
        y = y + 1
      Next Att
    End If
  Next
  MsgBox "Done"
End Sub

getting error on olApp As Outlook.Application -- "user-defined type not defined"

To automate Outlook based tasks from Excel you need to add Outlook Object Library (Microsoft Outlook XX.X Object Library) in Excel References. You can follow below steps to add Outlook reference in Excel VBA:

1. From the Menu Bar, click on Tools > References

2. Select ‘Microsoft Outlook XX.X Object Library’ and click on ‘OK’ button

In fact, this should not happen if the code is in the Outlook module,
as it was mentioned in the first post:

So where actually the code is?
What version of MS Office are you using?

Another update, try this please.

Code:
Sub download_attachments()
  'Dim olApp As Outlook.Application, olmail As MailItem, Att As Object
  Dim olApp As Object, olmail As Object, Att As Object
  Dim olFolder As Object, sPath As String, y As Long, strfile As String
  sPath = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\"
  '
  Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.application")
  Set olmail = olApp.CreateItem(0)
  Set olFolder = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").PickFolder
  '
  For Each olmail In olFolder.Items
    If TypeName(olmail) = "MailItem" Then
      y = 1
      For Each Att In olmail.Attachments
        strfile = sPath & olmail.Attachments.Item(y).Filename
        olmail.Attachments.Item(y).SaveAsFile strfile
        y = y + 1
      Next Att
    End If
  Next
  MsgBox "Done"
End Sub

Thanks for the clarification, but please bear in mind that my code posted in this thread should be in the ThisOutlookSession Outlook's module.
