saveFolder = "\\xxxxxxxx\ifs$\bbd\companies\amendments"

Sounds like something we could use.
Our email is Outlook "in the cloud" and we currently process emails from several sources where attachments need to be manually or by script moved to an IFS folder.
One of our more ambitious operations guys has had some success using "spiceworks"
but he seems to the only one on the ops team that is up to the task.
I would like to see if an "Outlook Rule" could be a more "standard" solution for us.
Thanks!

Can you post the code to:

I think many of us could benefit from that.
Thanks.

I didn't realize how easy it was to add a rule to Outlook that runs a script that automatically saves nominated attachments to an IFS folder.
Took about 10 mins. The script runs as client so the Outlook a/c must be open and an i5 folder mapped but that's a small price to pay for such a no brainer.

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.
