Remarks

The attached files

When reading a message, the attached files can be copied to the local disk (or to the server disk) using EmailSaveAttachment.
Tip: We recommend that you save the messages and their attached files on the local disk (or on a server disk), then delete them from the email 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.
