How do you save multiple attachments from multiple emails in Microsoft Outlook?

Yes seriously, that. Yes, I’m writing in 2021. Yes, the title is correct. Yes, the website looks a little worn. Yes, it doesn’t use SSL.
But after getting about 200 outlook emails each with one attachment on, I needed a reliable and fast way to save all of those attachments to a folder at once, without missing any. I tried a lot of things including installing a free trial of Mailbird, which in theory, has a special view to show all email attachments. But it only downloaded about 20 of all the attachments, and said the rest “couldn’t be downloaded”. So that was a drag.
The Nirsoft tool is the only thing I could find that did the job, and it did it well. It’s fast, you can filter it by a million things, and it works.
