I would like to put this inputbox value....

Code:
inboxfldr = InputBox("Enter Outlook Folder Name", "Inbox Alert Folder")

Into the below so that the value that the user input replaces the "GLAM" in the Set FLDR line.



Code:
Sub GetFromInbox()

Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim olNs As Namespace
Dim Fldr As MAPIFolder
Dim olMail As Variant
Dim DateCount As Integer
Dim myDate1 As Date
Dim myDate2 As Date


Dim item As Object
Dim doClip As MSForms.DataObject
Dim xlApp As Object ' Excel.Application
Dim xlWkb As Object


Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
Set olNs = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Fldr = olNs.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("[U]GLAM[/U]")
Set doClip = New MSForms.DataObject


x = Date
myDate1 = Sheets("Inbox Alerts").Range("A1").Value
myDate2 = Sheets("Inbox Alerts").Range("B1").Value


For Each olMail In Fldr.Items
    If DateSerial(Year(olMail.ReceivedTime), Month(olMail.ReceivedTime), Day(olMail.ReceivedTime)) >= myDate1 And _
       DateSerial(Year(olMail.ReceivedTime), Month(olMail.ReceivedTime), Day(olMail.ReceivedTime)) <= myDate2 And _
       InStr(olMail.Subject, "Alert") >= 0 _
    Then
        doClip.SetText olMail.Body
        doClip.PutInClipboard
        
        Sheets("Inbox Alerts").Cells(Rows.count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial "Text"
       DateCount = DateCount + 1
    End If
Next olMail


Set Fldr = Nothing
Set olNs = Nothing
Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
You obviously need that input box before that Set statement.
Then it would just be:
Code:
Set Fldr = olNs.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders(inboxfldr)
