Save Attachments for Outlook

I recently tried a free tool that has been a total game-changer for my Outlook experience. This tool allows users to save attachments from messages, contacts, appointments, meetings, tasks, notes, journal entries, and other Outlook items to the specified folder by file mask. The best part is that it is completely free!

One of the key program benefits is that it saves attachments of any Outlook items from all selected folders with subfolders. It also saves the original Outlook folder structure on your disk or network share which makes everything easily accessible. This means that you won't have to worry about manually organizing all the attachments you download.

Additionally, this tool supports filtering by types of Outlook items, names and extensions of attachments, and message dates. Another great feature is that it can automatically rename files with the same name, saving you valuable time.

One of the best things about this tool is that it integrates with Outlook rules, allowing for automatic saving of attachments from incoming messages according to the specified criteria. It also works with Outlook search folders, saving message attachments using advanced Outlook filters.

The utility is also accessible through a standalone application which saves attachments without starting Outlook, and a command-line application which is useful for many scenarios. By using macros for the destination folder path, you can easily catalog attachments by date, subject, sender, recipient, name, or path to the original Outlook folder.

Another great perk is that if your saved attachments are no longer necessary, you can quickly and easily delete them. This is a simple and efficient way to reduce the size of your mailbox or PST data file.

For those who love automation, this tool can even be started directly from the Outlook rules. When new messages are received, attachments will be automatically saved to the specified directory. Using the command line in batch files and scripts also allows you to save attachments from PST files, Exchange Server mailboxes of other users, and work according to a specific schedule.

Overall, I highly recommend this tool. It saves time, is easy to use, and is completely free!
