Another idea - I don't know if this will work, but if I create another account with the same folders then Re-Direct all the mails in each folder to that other account, will that accomplish moving the attachments to the designated file? -- Best Regards, Maggie http://www.OurCabinOnTheCreek.com Let your mind be as a floating cloud.

Once pasted, select it and in 'Actions' on the right panel, click on the Edit button at the bottom and the Extract Attachments window will open. There you will see where you can set the directory where you want attachments to go, and also the mask for file type you want to extract. I still have to find a way of defining more than just one mask. I've tried several ways but none of them did work. > Thanks for your patience. My pleasure :-) -- Best regards, Miguel A.
