Bulk Save Outlook Attachments … Recommendations?

Our user email folders are starting to grow quite big and attachments are largely responsible for this. The platform is Exchange Server 2007 and Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2007 (with a bit of OWA thrown in) clients.

I am looking for a straightforward plug-in for Outlook that would allow users to highlight a folder (or perhaps a selection of messages) and perform a bulk save of attachments then strip the attachments from messages - possibly replacing with a shortcut to the attachment itself.

Does anyone have any particular recommendations of product before I hit the search engines?

In answer to the question “Where have all my deleted items gone?” - the answer really should be “Well, they were deleted”.

Here is a tip - when using email,

Giving electronic mail archives back to the users

GFI have recently launched version 6 of MailArchiver with a new plug-in for Outlook that allows end users to get hold of their archived mail - all without leaving the email application.

As a keen user of MailArchiver I downloaded the upgrade the moment I heard about it. The application installed painlessly and once configured leapt into action offering users access to years of mail archive history. I am hoping this will encourage our user base to finally let go of some of their older mail that is starting to really clog up lonely Exchange Server.

You can read more about it here GFI MailArchiver 6 gets a bright Outlook.

How many have you got?

I currently have nineteen to choose from. My e-mail address is what I refer to of course and which one in use depends on what I am doing at any particular time.

It seems that over a long period of time my email activities (and associated email address) have become context based. I have e-mail accounts for work, home, social networking, my various Blogs and hobbies/interests and some from long ago services that I just cannot bring myself to let go. The email interface varies from email account to email account, some use Outlook, others are web based whilst one or two are mobile push solutions. Very rarely do they cross over so checking emails these days becomes a long task of logging on to various systems and remembering their various quirks and inconsistencies. I could forward them all to one address but I really do not want them cramming up one inbox - what I really need now of course is a system to manage my email systems.

It makes me

Which mobile email solution to choose?

Nokia e61i, Blackberry 8820, Apple iPhone, Windows Smartphone or something else?

In our business email has reached critical mass and the time has come to take it mobile. It’s a revolution in our little world almost as big as the introduction of the mobile phone itself. We already implemented Exchange Server 2007 but now I need to decide which direction to go for our field based personnel. Currently they have a mix of old but reliable Nokia based phones that pretty much just make and receive calls and send and receive SMS - but email on the road is rapidly becoming a requirement.

Looking at what’s available and even more importantly what I can get my hands on for testing I have this shortlist.
