Sub GetAttachments()
' This Outlook macro checks a the Outlook Inbox for messages
' with attached files (of any type) and saves them to disk.
' NOTE: make sure the specified save folder exists before
' running the macro.
On Error GoTo GetAttachments_err
' Declare variables
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.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
i = 0
' Check Inbox for messages and exit of none found
If Inbox.Items.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "There are no messages in the Inbox.", vbInformation, _
"Nothing Found"
Exit Sub
End If
' Check each message for attachments
For Each Item In Inbox.Items
' Save any attachments found
For Each Atmt In Item.Attachments
' This path must exist! Change folder name as necessary.
FileName = "C:\Email Attachments\" & Atmt.FileName
Atmt.SaveAsFile FileName
i = i + 1
Next Atmt
Next Item
' Show summary message
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
' Clear memory
GetAttachments_exit:
Set Atmt = Nothing
Set Item = Nothing
Set ns = Nothing
Exit Sub
' Handle errors
GetAttachments_err:
MsgBox "An unexpected error has occurred." _
& vbCrLf & "Please note and report the following information." _
& vbCrLf & "Macro Name: GetAttachments" _
& vbCrLf & "Error Number: " & Err.Number _
& vbCrLf & "Error Description: " & Err.Description _
, vbCritical, "Error!"
Resume GetAttachments_exit
End Sub

Change

FileName = "C:\Email Attachments\" & Atmt.FileName

to

FileName = "C:\Email Attachments\" & Item.Subject


Keep in mind this code may fail because you are declaring 'Item' as an
Object and AFAIK not all possible Inbox items have a 'Subject'
property.

All Outlook items implement the Subject property.
