Microsoft's Outlook 2000 blocks specific file types to safeguard users from email-related threats such as viruses and malicious scripts.
This is where Outlook Attachments comes in handy; it is an add-on that allows users to open attachments that are blocked. The installation process is straightforward, and the operation is simple. If you receive an attachment that is blocked, you can close Outlook and use Outlook Attachments to allow the file type. After reopening Outlook, the file will now be available.
Additionally, you can customize the add-on's settings by adding your own file types to be blocked or allowed, as per your preference. For example, you can add file extensions such as jpg and mp3 to the blocked list if you want to block Photos and MP3 files. If you need to open them, you can move them to the allowed list anytime.
Overall, Outlook Attachments is a useful add-on that complements the in-built security features of Outlook, making it a must-have for any user who wants to access a wider range of file types.
