    ExchangeCredentials credentials = new WebCredentials(username, password);
    service.setCredentials(credentials);
    ItemView view = new ItemView(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
    view.getOrderBy().add(ItemSchema.DateTimeReceived, SortDirection.Ascending);
    Folder folder = Folder.bind(service, WellKnownFolderName.Inbox);
    FindItemsResults<Item> results = service.findItems(folder.getId(),view);
    service.loadPropertiesForItems(results, new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties, EmailMessageSchema.Attachments));

        for (Item item : results) {
        Item itm = Item.bind(service, item.getId(), new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties, EmailMessageSchema.Attachments));
        EmailMessage emailMessage = EmailMessage.bind(service, itm.getId(), new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties, EmailMessageSchema.Attachments));
        if (emailMessage.getHasAttachments()) {
                for (Attachment attachment : emailMessage.getAttachments()) {
                    String FileExtension = getFileExtension(attachment.getName());
                    File TempFile = File.createTempFile(attachment.getName(), FileExtension);
                    attachment.load(TempFile.getAbsolutePath());
                }
            }

My issue is it can get another email that has no attachment and always skip email that has an attachment, the example is like this, In my inbox i have this email list

• from: [e-mail] (has attachment)
• from: [e-mail] (no attachment)
• from: [e-mail] (has attachment)
• from: [e-mail] (no attachment)

And when i run my code, it always get email that has no attachment, like this:

• from: [e-mail] (no attachment)
• from: [e-mail] (no attachment)

and skip the other email that has attachment, i have no idea how can this happen. Can someone help me please?
