Thanks in advance.

I know I'm asking for much, but a friend wants to extract all the photos
from all stored email messages. He has tens of thousands. Is there
something out there that will do this?

LBE Toolbox for Outlook

http://www.lbetoolbox.com/features.htm

"What does it do?

* Find and delete duplicate Contacts.
* Find and delete duplicate Appointments.
* Find and delete duplicate Tasks.
* Find and delete duplicate messages.
* Deletes spam. Regular monitors your IMAP and POP3 servers, removing
spam without you ever having to see it.
* Send multiple individual emails
* Save space by stripping large attachments from messages. You can
opt to delete them or move them to your hard disk and insert a link to
them into the message.
* Tidy up Contacts name and address entries by removing double-spaces
and proper-casing names (e.g. "john smith" becomes "John Smith".
* Monitor up to four web-sites to make sure they are still running.
* Open multiple web sites with a single click - useful if you have a
set of web sites you use a lot.

Trial Version limitations

The trial version is exactly the same as the purchased version with the
following limitations:

* You can only send 20 multiple emails at one time.
* The Tidy up Tool stops after tidying 20 contacts
* The de-duplicate functions stop after removing 20 duplicates.
* The spam tool is restricted to just 5 target word/phrases

However, the web monitor and "Open multiple web sites" tools are both
unrestricted in the trial version."

I do not see a limitation in the stripping of attachments?

Your friend will have to try it and find out.

extract all the photos from all stored email messages

Not to sure if he wants to remove from the emails or extract ( copy )
to put somewhere else .

Maybe doing a search for the photo's in the email folder , example
jpeg . Highlight them all & then copy & paste .

W95/98/ME have a good Find / Search built in .

XP Search replacement > Find.zip

Thanks jmatt and all responders. We tried Picasa. I may be wrong but I
couldn't get it to search a .pst file and the search or find commands in
windows will not search a file.

Again thanks,

One thing to keep in mind is that pst files are really databases in
another format. No one that I know offers a free tool to grab data from
it, which is too bad. I had a ton of stuff in a pst file at work that I
had to manually clean to get my personal stuff out of.

A freeware like that would be a great tool.

What operating system Dave H ?

Small extract from the link .

If you don't see the .pst file in the folder that Outlook Today's
Properties dialog box pointed to, you're probably using Windows XP
or Windows 2000, which consider .pst files to be system files and
hide them by default. Open Windows Explorer, and choose Tools,
Folder Options. On the View tab, select "Show hidden files and
folders." After you close the dialog box, you should be able to see
the .pst file in the folder. If you know where the .pst file
resides, you can move it, back it up, or copy it to a new machine
when you upgrade. However, before you perform any of these
operations, you must shut down Outlook.

If you've been archiving to the same archive.pst file for a long time
(e.g., since Outlook 97 came out), you might want to search your
computer for all .pst files and check their sizes. If a .pst file
exceeds 2GB, Outlook can't open it. The pst2gb.exe tool, which you
can get from Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS), can help you
recover most of your data, but you probably won't get it all back.
Try to keep any .pst files well under that 2GB limit.
