Answer

Have you tried setting the OverwriteExisting property to 0? See this excerpt from the documentation:

OverwriteExisting As Long

When 1 (the default) the methods to save email attachments and related items will overwrite files if they already exist. If 0, then the methods that save email attachments and related items will append a string of 4 characters to create a unique filename if a file already exists. The filename of the attachment (or related item) within the email object is updated and can be retrieved by the program to determine the actual file(s) created.
