Hi Peter
Exchange servers often have a POP option for the mailboxes - ours does.
I looked at AMAILER - wasn't clear how it handled attachments. I knew POP/400 from when I worked at RJS, easy to use, Java-based client is the one to use to get attachments.
And POP/400 is not expensive. Of course, it's not free, right?
But try AMAILER with your inbox, it just might work.

Hmm, looks like AMAILER can only receive mail from a POP server not MS Exchange.
My notion was a method that allowed email to be sent from some internet user and received by an Outlook account and then somehow end up in an IFS folder.

Peter,
The guys at www.easy400.net have an open source utility called AMAILER, which can receive incoming mail and process its attachments.

A client send an a csv file as an attachment via email which is presently received by a nominated staff member who opens the email via Outlook and saved the attached file to an i5/OS IFS folder which is available via a mapped drive. Can this be automated?
I was wondering if it Is possible to start an i5/OS POP server and have Outlook automatically forward nominated emails to it and have the attached files made available from the POP server?
But as I know little about what a POP server can do the this thought may be totally misguided.
Peter
