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 data exchange by only reading new messages on the server.

Reminder

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