Sub DownloadItems()
    Dim outApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim mpfInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Dim obj As Object
    Dim i As Integer

    Set outApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set mpfInbox = outApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

    'Loop all items in the Inbox folder
    For i = 1 To mpfInbox.Items.Count
        Set obj = mpfInbox.Items.Item(i)
        'Verify if the state of the item is olHeaderOnly
        If obj.DownloadState = olHeaderOnly Then
            MsgBox ("This item has not been fully downloaded.")
            'Mark the item to be downloaded.
            obj.MarkForDownload = olMarkedForDownload
        End If
    Next
