Hi everybody,

I use OL 2003 and I seek help for the following problem:

I have rules which moves emails from certain persons to designated
subfolders. These emails contains large attachments which I manually save to
designated subfolders in My Documents. After that I delete the attachments to
free the space for OL data file.

What I would like to accomplish is to automate the manual part, which I
think it means a macro to check for new messages for the specified subfolder
named "Reports" located inside other subfolder "Sales", than to save the
attachment taking care to avoid writing over an existing file with the same
name and finally to delete the attachment from the email message.

Is anyone so kind to provide me with a piece of code..?

Thank you in advance,
Catalin
