Save Attachments from EML for Outlook

This software review will discuss a free utility that can save attachments from EML files in a specific message date range. It allows users to select a folder on their disk or network share and choose a location to save the extracted attachments. The tool can automatically process all subfolders and create the same folder structure for attachment files.

One of the key features of this utility is the ability to save or skip attachments of certain types and with specified names. Users can also save embedded Outlook items, inline attachments (such as pictures in text), and special hidden attachments that are not visible when you open EML files in Outlook.

After saving attachments from EML files, users can remove them to reduce the size of their email archive by using another utility provided. The benefits of using this program include the ability to extract attachments from EML files in subfolders, create the original folder structure for attachment files, and support attachment filtering by mask and message date range.

In addition, this utility can save inline attachments, such as pictures and documents, in message text, save embedded items and hidden Outlook attachments, and be used in automated scenarios and scheduled runs. This is made possible by command line support, allowing users to automate the process of saving attachments from EML files using batch files, scripts, and Windows Task Scheduler.
