Hello!

Is there a way (vba, script, ...) to save automatically a file to a specific
disk folder when it's received into my inbox?

I checked on the different rules that access propose, but none of them offer
to do this action..

Thanks for any suggestion

Since you won't be able to access that message with anything other than
Outlook, what's the point?
 
The point is when I get the message, a procedure will store the file
attached on the email in "C:\MyFolder\newFile.xls". And then another
application that has a timer will detect that there is new file on
"C:\MyFolder\" and this application will do what it has to do with the file

without an automation, I'm obliged to check when ever I receive a message if
it has the "newFile.xls", if yes, then I store it manually into
"C:\MyFolder\".

Can we do the 1st step automatically?
Thanks.

But the file will still be a mail message despite the "xls" file type you
give it. Excel won't be able to do a thing with it. If you want to extract
an attachment, maybe something here would help:
