Change default for saving emails

[jadraper]

My boss has switched from Express to Outlook and has a problem with how
Outlook saves its emails. He saves his emails to his hard drive with
attachments included. When he changed over to Outlook and saved his emails he
was not changing the format at the bottom of the screen, when he later went
to look at a attachment he had saved in an email it was not there. He wants
to change the default of how Outlook saves its emails so he won't have to do
it everytime he saves one. I haven't been able to find a way to do this. Can
anyone help?

Outlook automatically saves emails and attachments within the Outlook data
file ,unless you delete them, its not neccessary to explicity save them,
are you saying the boss wants to save them outside outlook, seperately on
the HD?
If that is the case select the msg and drag to the desktop, or wherever. Any
attachment will be included

What version of outlook is being used

 

[jadraper]

Outlook 2003. And yes he saves them to his hard drive. He has special folders
setup for each customer and he saves all correspondence in those folders, for
future reference. I tried what you suggested and it works, the attachments
are in tact. I will tell him this and see how it goes.
Thanks so much for your help.

As a note you can create folders in OL and either drag & drop msgs to these
or use rules to move msgs to the appropriate folder

In case you want to archive email as msg file in the directory, maybe
the outlook add in mailtofile can help you.
This because if you drag and drop, the date & time of the msg file is
'now', not the sent date time. And dragging more then one email having
the same subject will result in a conflicting or at least confusing
file name.
Using the outlook add-in mailtofile you don't have these problems
(www.mailtofile.com).
Good luck
