    Dim olNamespace As Outlook.Namespace
    Dim olFolder As MAPIFolder
    Dim olItems As Items
    Dim i As Integer
   
    Set olApp = Outlook.Application
    Set olNamespace = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set olFolder = olNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
    Set olItems = olFolder.Items
   
    For i = olItems.Count To 1 Step -1
        If olItems(i).Class = olMail Then
