Saving attachments from a non Default Mailbox (Outlook 2010)

I am trying to save attachments in a file called lifting reports. It works in my default inbox however I am trying to get it to work from a secondary inbox.

The part of the code I have attempted to change is

Set Inbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)


However I still cant get it to work correct.Can anyone assist? I am also trying to save the files on the date there were received not the date I am saving them. Any ideas?

Sub SaveLiftingreports()
'Arg 1 = Folder name of folder inside your Inbox
'Arg 2 = File extension, "" is every file
'Arg 3 = Save folder, "C:UsersRontest" or ""
' If you use "" it will create a date/time stamped folder for you in your "Documents" folder
' Note: If you use this "C:UsersRontest" the folder must exist.

SaveEmailAttachmentsToFoldernondefault "Lifting Reports", "xls", ""
SaveEmailAttachmentsToFoldernondefault "Lifting Reports", "pdf", ""

End Sub


Second macro

ExtString As String, DestFolder As String)

Dim Inbox As MAPIFolder
Dim SubFolder As MAPIFolder

Dim FileName As String
