Brian Gregory Messages: 2 Registration: 12/18/2013	#2 12/18/2013 5:05 PM Hello. I have a question about the "Save Attachments" addin. When the addin saves the attachments from Outlook does it remove the attachments from the emails? I would like to be able to extract all attachments from a folder in Outlook but I don't want to remove the attachments from the emails themselves. Thank you.

bebseh,

We have a few utilities which are working with email attachments.
Saves attachments - only saves attachments to disk without deleting them from an email. So, they are accessible from email itself.
Replace Attachments with Links - saves attachments to disk and delete them from an email. So, they are accessible from email through links.
Remove Attachments - delete attachments from an email. So, they are NOT accessible from email.
Remove Duplicate Attachments - saves only duplicate attachments to disk and delete all but one attachment from emails. So, they are accessible from one email directly and from all other emails through links.

Question about the Save Attachment utility. It installed and set up fine. When I "run" the utility from Outlook, it does exactly what I want it to do. But I want this process to be automatic, and it's not. I have to "run" it to get the utility to move attachments to the specified folder. How do I set it up so that the files are moved automatically as soon as the email is received?

I'm running Win 7 and Outlook 2010, although I could set this up on an Outlook 2013 machine if needed.

Thanks!
