For some reason, I can't get the selected item which would be an email from my inbox to attach as an attachment when I create a new mail from my macro. I'm using Windows 10 / Outlook 2016. I had this working in Windows 7 Office 2010, but I'm not sure why it's not working now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is this running inside Outlook VBA?. Should Attachments.Add line be the following?
MyItem.Attachments.Add Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
Get rid of the "On Error Resume Next" statements - they are hiding runtime errors.
If you want to add a mailbox item as an attachment to a new message.
You need to set the Outlook.OlAttachmentType property to olEmbeddeditem.
You can add a mail item as an attachment by referring to the code below.
Sub ResolveName()
Dim myItem As Object
Dim Item As Object
Dim myFolder As Folder
Set myNamespace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set Item = myFolder.Items(2)
'Item.Display
myItem.Attachments.Add Item, Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olEmbeddeditem, 1, "first"
myItem.Display
End Sub

I have over 200 emails to send with individual attachments.
The list is in Excel.
With code from elsewhere, I managed to open an email, with the attachment, email address, subject and body text.
I want the loop to pause once the email has been opened, so I can check the details, add in a signature etc. I then want the loop to move on to the next iteration but not until I click "Send".
Also, more minor point, but vbNewLine doesn't seem to create a new line?
Sub SendEmail_Example1()
Dim EmailApp As Outlook.Application
Dim Source As String
Dim Attachment As String
Dim edress As String
Set EmailApp = New Outlook.Application
Dim EmailItem As Outlook.MailItem
Set EmailItem = EmailApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
i = 2
Do Until IsEmpty(Cells(i, 1))
Attachment = "C:\Users\username\Downloads\" + Cells(i, 4)
edress = Cells(i, 1)
EmailItem.To = edress
EmailItem.Subject = "Test Email From Excel VBA"
EmailItem.HTMLBody = "Hi," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"This is my first email from Excel" & _
vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Regards," & vbNewLine & _
"VBA Coder"
Source = ThisWorkbook.FullName
EmailItem.Attachments.Add (Attachment)
EmailItem.Display
i = i + 1
Loop
Set EmailApp = Nothing
Set EmailItem = Nothing
End Sub
It's been 15 years since I tried this, but try the modal property on the EmailItem.Display method

I need my Access Database to create emails that are sent at the press of a button.
This works for Outlook, and I adapted the code for Gmail.
I don't want to hardcode the email username and password. I want to pick it up from a combobox on the main form.
I get the error

I checked the comboboxes work with a text box.
After a lot of messing around, you are correct, the code is fine - and it was reading the contents of the combo box correctly - however GMail didn't accept the log in information if there was a capital letter on the email address!!! Now working beautifully.
I'm trying to look through a specific inbox for unread e-mails with .pdf files attached to them, and then save them into a specific folder.
I need to look through the inbox of certain account profile. My code only works if there is just one Inbox folder and one account profile.
Let's say I have two profiles;
One is xxxx#hotmail.com
The second zzzz#hotmail.com
How do I run the code on the Inbox of the second account?
(zzzz#hotmail.com)
The following is the code that I have so far;
Sub GetAttachments()
On Error GoTo GetAttachments_err
Dim ns As NameSpace
Dim Inbox As MAPIFolder
Dim Item As Object
Dim Atmt As Attachment
Dim FileName As String
Dim varResponse As VbMsgBoxResult
Set ns = GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Inbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
i = 0
' Checks inbox for messages.
If Inbox.Items.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "There are no messages in your Inbox.", vbInformation, _
"Nothing found"
Exit Sub
End If
' Checks inbox for unread messages.
If Inbox.UnReadItemCount = 0 Then
"Nothing found"
Exit Sub
End If
' Checks for unread messages with .pdf files attached to them, if yes then saves it to specific folder. _
Puts date and time from when the mail was created infront of the filename.
For Each Item In Inbox.Items

FileName = "C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Office Macro\" & _
Format(Item.CreationTime, "yyyymmdd_hhnnss_") & Atmt.FileName
Atmt.SaveAsFile FileName
i = i + 1
End If
End If
Next Atmt
Next Item
' Shows how many attached files there are if any are found.
If i > 0 Then

vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Finished!")
If varResponse = vbYes Then
Shell "Explorer.exe /e,C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Office Macro\", vbNormalFocus
End If
Else
MsgBox "No attached files could be found.", vbInformation, _

End If

After further inspection of the mailboxes I see that there are some differences:
xxxx#hotmail.com is of the type "IMAP/SMTP"
zzzz#hotmail.com is of the type "Exchange ActiveSync"
I've also noticed that that the account ID I would need to use is 4, as seen in this code when sending a new message with a test-macro specifying what profile you want to send the mail from by assigning profile ID in the script:
Sub Mail_small_Text_Change_Account()
'Only working in Office 2007-2013
'Don't forget to set a reference to Outlook in the VBA editor
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim strbody As String
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
strbody = "Hi there" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"This is line 1" & vbNewLine & _
"This is line 2" & vbNewLine & _
"This is line 3" & vbNewLine & _
"This is line 4"
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = "blabla#blabla.nl"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "This is the Subject line"
.Body = strbody
'SendUsingAccount is new in Office 2007
'Change Item(1)to the account number that you want to use
.SendUsingAccount = OutApp.Session.Accounts.Item(4) <<<< ACCOUNT ID
.Send 'or use .Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
Set Inbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
You get only the delivery store's inbox folder to find the items.
The Stores property of the Namespace class returns a Stores collection object that represents all the Store objects in the current profile. You can find the required store and then use the GetDefaultFolder method of the Store class instead. This method is similar to the GetDefaultFolder method of the NameSpace object. The difference is that this method gets the default folder on the delivery store that is associated with the account, whereas NameSpace.GetDefaultFolder returns the default folder on the default store for the current profile.
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
There is no need to create a new Outlook Application instance in Outlook VBA.
The Outlook object model provides the Find/FindNext or Restrict methods of the Items class. Also you may find the AdvancedSearch method of the Application class helpful.
I am working on a project using excel-vba and outlook.
I am working in an excel workbook. I need to be able to run a macro in order to:
Check if there are unread emails,
Dim oOutlook As Object
Dim oOlns As Object
Dim oOlInb As Object
Const olFolderInbox = 6
'~~> Get Outlook instance
Set oOutlook = GetObject(, "Outlook.application")
Set oOlns = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set oOlInb = oOlns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
'~~> Check if there are any actual unread emails
If oOlInb.Items.Restrict("[UnRead] = True").Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "NO Unread Email In Inbox"
Else
MsgBox "Unread Email available In Inbox"
Exit Sub
If there are unread emails ,
I need to check if there are attachments in these unread emails.
If there are attachments,
i need to check if these attachments have an attachment name which contains "Production Plan" as part of the name.
This is because this attachment is sent to me regularly.
The attachment name will be in this manner
Production Plan (day - month - year).xls
If there is such an attachment then a MsgBox should be displayed in excel saying
Msg Box "Such attachments are available"
At this point in time i know how to do part 1 and 4.
I want to know: how to do part 2 and 3?
Please guide me on how this can be done.
update: I have made a small addition, which does not work. This is in order to display a msg, if there are attachments detected, but they are not of the form "Production Plan".
Else
If Not att.Filename Like "Production Plan*.xls" Then
MsgBox "no production plan attachment"
Exit Sub
End If
I don't have Outlook, so untested:
EDIT - to list all attachments
Dim oOutlook As Object
Dim oOlns As Object
Dim oOlInb As Object
Dim unRead, m As Object, att As Object
Dim some As String, other As String
Const olFolderInbox = 6
'~~> Get Outlook instance
Set oOutlook = GetObject(, "Outlook.application")
Set oOlns = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set oOlInb = oOlns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
'~~> Check if there are any actual unread emails
Set unRead = oOlInb.Items.Restrict("[UnRead] = True")
If unRead.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "NO Unread Email In Inbox"
Else
some = ""
other = ""
For Each m In unRead
If m.Attachments.Count > 0 Then
For Each att In m.Attachments
If att.Filename Like "Production Plan*.xls" Then
some = some & vbLf & " - " & att.Filename
Else
other = other & vbLf & " - " & att.Filename
End If
Next att
End If
Next m
If some <> "" Or other <> "" Then
MsgBox "Production Plans:" & vbLf & _
IIf(some <> "", some, "{none}") & _
vbLf & vbLf & "Other files:" & vbLf & _
IIf(other <> "", other, "{none}"), _
vbExclamation, "Unread mails with attachments!"
End If
End If

By "public mailbox", do you mean another user's mailbox? Use GetSharedDefaultFolder instead of GetDefaultFolder.
