Access Each Message in Outlook Inbox

' ---------------------------------------------------------------- '
' This routine gets access the outlook inbox folder on the local
' machine, loops through each message, reads basic info about the
' message, and saves the message and all of it's attachments. It is
' designed to give you a basic idea of what you can do with the
' outlook object model, especially the contents of folders.
'
' Note: A reference to Microsoft Outlook Type Library is required.
