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

    Set outApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set mpfInbox = outApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
    
    Set objItems = mpfInbox.Items
    iCount = objItems.Count

    'Loop all items in the Inbox folder
    For i = 1 To iCount
        Set obj = objItems.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
