The download all attachment function in kutools are creating a new folder for each attachment saved. Is there a way to just download the attachments automatically without creating a new folder for each attachement? Thank you.

I already have KuTools for Excel, and this is not part of that. Had to dig around to find the KuToolsOutlook.exe download. Then it converted all my photos to .txt files. Fortunately, the photos were still there, so I saved them all by hand. Took less time to just do it that way than find & install the program. Useless. Outlook 2016/Windows 10

This code is great and easy to setup.... BUT in my case it's renaming the original file names by appending the date/time stamp. What I really need for it to do is replace the file of the same name in the destination folder. Anyone know how I can alter the code to 'Copy and Replace'?

Overall it is good but I tried to run it against about 1000 emails and it stopped downloading files after awhile, although popup message gave the correct number of the amount of the files. It worked as expected when I did in small chunks (100 or so at a time)
