Extract Duplicate attachments within an email message

Dear All
For one of the projects, the requirement is to extract all attachments within an email message and place it in a folder. This works as long as there are no duplicate attachment names. Only one is retrieved and the other duplicate is lost.

Can someone suggest how to tackle it? Thanks

MS outlook Email VBO is utility from BP version 6.10 is used.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Please use the most recent version of the MS OUTLOOK VBO from the DX (THIS IS THE LINK). I tested using that one, and it works fine even if the email has multiple attachments with the same name; he just renamed adding the 1,2,3, etc., for each duplicate.

Hi @Luis Lopez

​Thanks for your answer.
The solution works only if we are iterating through user's outlook application.
In my case, the messages are stored in a remote location and the utility is overwriting such files.
