Remarks

Handling the messages and their attached files

We recommend that you save the messages and their attached files on the local drive (or on a server drive), then delete them from the server. This operation is used to:

reduce the size of the mailbox on the server,
improve and streamline communications: only new messages will be read on the server.

Reminder

Structure Email: The files attached to the current message are known thanks to the variables:

Email.NbAttachment: number of files attached.
Email.Attachment: array containing the names of files attached to the current message.

Variable Email: The files attached to the current message are known thanks to the Email...Attach property (an array containing the names of the files attached to the current message).
