Public WithEvents GMailItems As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
    Set GMailItems = Outlook.Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub GMailItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
    Dim xMailItem As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim xExcelFile As String
    Dim xExcelApp As Excel.Application
    Dim xWb As Excel.Workbook
    Dim xWs As Excel.Worksheet
    Dim xNextEmptyRow As Integer
    On Error Resume Next
    If Item.Class <> olMail Then Exit Sub
    Set xMailItem = Item
    xExcelFile = "C:\Users\DT168\Desktop\split document\kto-data.xlsx"
    If IsWorkBookOpen(xExcelFile) = True Then
        Set xExcelApp = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
        Set xWb = GetObject(xExcelFile)
        If Not xWb Is Nothing Then xWb.Close True
    Else
        Set xExcelApp = New Excel.Application
    End If
    Set xWb = xExcelApp.Workbooks.Open(xExcelFile)
    Set xWs = xWb.Sheets(1)
    xNextEmptyRow = xWs.Range("B" & xWs.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
    With xWs
        .Cells(xNextEmptyRow, 1) = xNextEmptyRow - 1
        .Cells(xNextEmptyRow, 2) = xMailItem.SenderName
        .Cells(xNextEmptyRow, 3) = xMailItem.SenderEmailAddress
        .Cells(xNextEmptyRow, 4) = xMailItem.Subject
        .Cells(xNextEmptyRow, 5) = xMailItem.ReceivedTime
    End With
    xWs.Columns("A:E").AutoFit
    xWb.Save
End Sub
Function IsWorkBookOpen(FileName As String)
    Dim xFreeFile As Long, xErrNo As Long
    On Error Resume Next
    xFreeFile = FreeFile()
    Open FileName For Input Lock Read As #xFreeFile
    Close xFreeFile
    xErrNo = Err
    On Error GoTo 0
    Select Case xErrNo
        Case 0: IsWorkBookOpen = False
        Case 70: IsWorkBookOpen = True
        Case Else: Error xErrNo
    End Select
End Function

Note: In the above code, C:\Users\DT168\Desktop\split document\kto-data.xlsx is the Excel file path and Excel name that you want to locate the exported information, please change it to your need.

4. Still in the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, click Tools > References to go to the References-Project1 dialog box, and check Microsoft Excel Object Library option from the Available References list box, see screenshot:

5. Then click OK button to close the dialog, and then save and close the code window.

6. Now, you should restart the Outlook to make this code take effect. From now on, if there are new emails arriving, they will be exported to the specific workbook automatically, see screenshot:
