[FONT='Tahoma','sans-serif']nee way...so I thought I'd post an issue I'd like some help on .Well this is about saving Outlook attachments to your hard drive ..( I see that the code is posted on this same forum somewhere) . However I have seen from a lot of places that the code for this pretty much straight forward -Which is only from the Default mailbox .The issue is that I have 4 additional mailboxes apart from my default In box and I need to save my attachments from those mailbox folders and additionally my archive folders as well.[/font]
[FONT='Tahoma','sans-serif']I know outlook 2007 is pretty stiff on secondary mailboxes (e.g. cannot run rules from the secondary mailboxes etc) .:( [/font]
[FONT='Tahoma','sans-serif'] [/font]
[FONT='Tahoma','sans-serif']So is the a modification to this existing code that can be made to overcome this issue of Secondary mailboxes attachments to your hard drive.?:help [/font]
