Maybe look at SpiceWorks
They have a script to auto-save attachments to a specified location that works with Outlook.
We use it here (someone else on staff in our local expert)

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.
HTH,

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
