Save mail attachments with correct timestamp
Messages: 3

As far as I understand, when you save a file attached to a mail, its timestamp for LastModified will be NOW, and NOT LastModified of the file that was originally attached to the mail before sending it.
Is it at all possible to retrieve this information - or is it lost when sending the mail?
If the answer is no, I would prefer to have the LastModified timestamp (when saving a mail attachment) made equal to the "Sent" timestamp of the mail. By doing this I am in some way able to keep the chronology of files.
I have made a VBA routine that can handle this. So if you are interested, you can get it! (Xmas present!)

Helge Larsen,
Thank you for your suggestion, but our utilities already set Date created and Date modified to original file dates.

I have tested your utility "Save Attachments". It does NOT set "Date created" and "Date modified" to original file dates, i.e. the dates that it had on the computer from which it was sent. Instead "Date created" and "Date modified" are set to the mail's "Sent"-timestamp. That is, it functions like my VBA routine, see above.

How to Move Emails Between Folders in Outlook
You can create Outlook rules to automatically allocate emails to new folders. But to relocate messages and change the folder structure, Outlook does not offer automated tools. Let's see how you can move or copy emails manually and in an alternative manner.
MBOX vs EML File Format
This article will look at the two most common formats for saving single emails or an entire mailbox folder in separate files. Let's see what the difference is between MBOX and EML and how to change one format to the other.
MBOX vs MSG File Format
Files for saving email messages and other data from the mailbox differ in format. The file format you choose depends on your file contents and email client. Let's take a look at two of them: MBOX and Outlook MSG.
MSG vs PST File Format
The email file format can vary. It depends primarily on the email client where the files are created. But even the same email client can use different file types, depending on the content. Let's see what is the difference between MSG and PST, the two main Microsoft Outlook file formats, and how you can change one format to the other.
PST vs MBOX File Format
Different email clients use different data file types to save and migrate the mail. Two of the most well-known file formats for working with message databases are PST and MBOX. Let's see how these data files differ and how you can change one format to another.
