Outlook 2010 addins for automatic email-attachment extraction

Question

Outlook 2010 add in for auto extraction of attachment from the configured email ids on outlook 2010.For each configured email ids there will be a separate folder in which it's attachments will be saved automatically.I don't want to click any button or reload it all the times.If a mail arrives in the inbox folder,if it's unread, it's attachments will be extracted and saved in its respective folder.

My problem is that i haven't been able to extract the attachments of non-default email ids on outlook 2010 and also my process is not automatically extracting the attachment.

How can i make the unread mail's attachment extraction and saving automatic for multiple configured email ids on outlook 2010? Here i'm attaching the code which i have tried....

Do you mean you need to read unread messages from a non-default store? Instead of using outlookNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox), loop through the Namespace.Stores collection and call Store.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox).
