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.

Subject: Automated receipt of email attachemnets

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.
