Looking for an application that can open an outlook email, and save an attachment if one is included.

Here's a previous solution...

Hi afcnoc,

Do you really want it to run at intervals, or would you prefer it process messages as they arrive?

Cheers!

Thanks for posts p912s. I will pass the code along to my developers and see what they think.
BlueDevilFan, if there is a way to just process the messages as they arrive, that might be a better solution. But just having it scan the inbox every 5 or 10mins works also.

It's actually far easier to do the former than to do the latter, at least from inside Outlook.  I'm assuming that's what you want.  If you want a solution that runs outside of Outlook, then the timed solution is equally simple.

The idea is to have this as either a stand-alone app. or as a module within a bigger NMS we are developing.
I would rather not have to install Outlook on the server that would be running this app.

I shouldn't have hit "Submit" so quick.  Any solution is also going to require a profile that has access to the user or users mailboxes too.  That means a profile, an Outlook profile, with Exchange admin rights to all users' mailboxes or at least to the mailbox it'll run against.

I figure that creating a user in AD that has an Exchange account will work.
Installing would be ok I guess. But the ideal solution would be not having to install Outlook.
