Outlook Will Not Let Me Download Attachments

I don't have any problems accessing all the attachments in the browser, but as soon as I switch to the desktop app, I am limited to only opening PDF and word files. Is there a limitation on the app for email?

If you are looking to view a .msg file type attached to a row, the Desktop App should ask to save the file to the local drive (whereas the Web app will download it to your Downloads folder).

Thanks for clarifying! Since the Desktop App isn't a browser, it does not currently have a default setting to download attachments to a downloads folder. Instead, you'll see the option to choose where to download the file, as you've noticed.

Please feel free to submit your feedback on the Desktop App to the Product team by creating an Idea Post in the Smartsheet Product Feedback and Ideas topic here in the Community. This will allow other users to vote on your enhancement idea!

The formula below is supposed to show the date a line item was closed. I'm thinking that by using the TODAY function here that the day will change everyday. I want to to pull the date that the status was changed and then never changed that date again? Thanks =IF(Status@row = "Closed", TODAY())

One of the most common ways of transmitting computer viruses is through file attachments. To help protect you and your recipients against computer viruses, Outlook blocks the sending and receiving of certain types of files (such as .exe and certain database files) as attachments. If you need to send one of these file types to an email recipient, we recommend using OneDrive and sending the recipient a link to the file instead.

If you use a Microsoft Exchange Server account and the Exchange Server administrator has configured your Outlook security settings, your administrator might be able to help you. Ask the administrator to adjust the security settings on your mailbox to accept attachments that Outlook blocked.

New Outlook keeps track of the files you have worked on recently and suggests them whenever you decide you want to attach a file to an email message. Some file types are blocked from being sent or received. See Blocked attachments in Outlook for the complete list.

Why can't I attach a file? Outlook tells me the file is unsafe. New Outlook blocks numerous file types that have the potential to spread computer viruses. To send a file that new Outlook identifies as unsafe, zip the file first, then attach the zipped file. To zip a file, navigate to the folder on your computer or in the cloud that contains the file, right-click the file, and select Send to compressed (zipped) folder. You should then be able to send the zipped file. For more information, see Blocked attachments in Outlook.

Why do my attachments show up in the message body and not below the subject line? New Outlook allows you to send email messages in three formats: HTML, plain text, and rich text.

You can check your message format by looking at the title bar of the message.

Our Users here will be attaching many different pdf files where they are received in an email and do not want to have to save them locally, then import to the Form from that local specific Windows location (need to also delete after import so they don't bring in existing files).

I am very excited about this ability, because we can now upload email approval communications and attachments directly into a form! The person processing the form, does not have to save to the desktop and upload the file. Yes!!!!!

I knew about the repository option. I might explore that and see if I can link the form to those docs within the repository. I have seen a few posts about that. Otherwise saving locally will have to do.

Update 7/11/2023: Status is still open. Attachments are still not attaching on the Outlook application for Mac. The only workaround I've found is using the web client, through which I can successfully send attachments. However, this is a very frustrating and undesirable workaround, because I have many settings on the application that do not transfer over to the web client.

You are on the write path. Use the Get Outlook Mail Activity and then a for each activity that will go through all messages, inside this for each, you need an if activity, that will check the number of attachents in an email using the, your condition could be something like Mail.Attachments.Count()

Create another for each activity now this will go through each attachment in a mail and save it. I figured this might be a bit difficult to understand as it is hard for me to explain, so i created a starting template for you, hope it helps solve your problem, and please let me know if you need further assistance with this.

Emails and their attachments can be converted, using the 'Embed Attachments' option, however, that will embed the attachments in their original form as 'an attachment' to the PDF.

You will find that down the 'Attachments' button down the bottom on the left in Nitro.

Say I'm working on a Word document and I want to email it to some co-workers. I open up Outlook and click the Attach file button to attach my Word document to the email. However, before I click Send, I realize that I want to make a last-minute change to the document, so I quickly switch to Word and modify the document, and then click Save. Do I have to remove the attachment in the email and re-add it? Or will the newest version be sent?

Basically, my main requirement is to iterate through the attachments of type PDF, get File Name and the file(binary) and save into any target app. (Google Drive being an example ). Can i achieve that by adding any intermediate step between Microsoft Outlook & Destination App (Like Google Drive) ?

In Outlook 2010 attachments opened are Read Only you can't edit of any kind in the message like you could before. Also you may need to Disable Attachment Preview You can make many attachments readable if this is disabled.

I am running 2022.3.1 Designer Desktop with version 1.1.0 of the Outlook 365 Input Tool. Does the tool support downloading attachments from emails to a UNC network path? I am able to save to my desktop mapped drive path (i.e., "O:\Alteryx\Email_Attachements\"). 17dc91bb1f
