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 speed up the communications: only the new messages will be read on the server.

Reminder

Email structure: The following variables contain information about the files attached to the current message:

Email.NbAttach: number of attachments.
Email.Attach: array containing the name of the files attached to the current message.

Email variable: The files attached to the current message are returned by Email..Attach (array containing the name of the files attached to the current message).
