Where in outlook 2007 are attachments kept?

  • Thread starter Thread starter Guest

Attachments are kept within the message just like in previous versions of
Outlook. Accessing them is also still the same.
 
But there must be somewhere on the disk drive a file full of these
attachments that I need to access and move to another computer..I need to
know where this file is . the only other way is to one at a time open each
email and save each attachment individually.. (one at a time) I have a
hundred or more PDF files to move!

Anothe mail program "Pocomail" has a file named "attachments" and this is
where all incoming attachments get filed automaticly... Maby I need to switct
to pocomail

As Roady said and as you have correctly stated "one at a time open each
email and save each attachment individually.." Outlook does not have this capability that you are looking for

Or, assuming Outlook is on the other machine, copy the PST file over?

Outlook's file is the .pst file that stores all the data, including attachments. File | Data File Management will show you the location.

And if it isn't on the other machine, the code at
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=70 might be useful for saving
everything out at once.

Thank you all for your responces... your replies led me to a program called
"attachments processor" http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/attachments_processor/
I have installed a trial version and it is doing what one would expect
microsoft to already have in Outlook This is a $24 addition to the cost but
to me it is worth it.

Again Many Thanks for your replies
