If you ever accidentally save a document to “Outlook Temp”, the default folder for when you open a document from within an email, you might find that it’s very hard to locate and impossible to open. It won’t show up in recent documents. I found a simpler to recover it.
Barry, I have the same problem! Did you get answers?
Which version of Outlook?
Microsoft Outlook... I was sent an Excel file as an attachment. I saved it but not in my documents. Only later did I realize it was in my Outlook temp folder.
Microsoft Outlook What? 2008, 2010, 2011? there are many versions.
My bad...2011

Or just use Spotlight to search for the file by name
Not sure if I am looking in the right place... I am finding /library/caches/... nothing as /temporaryitems/etc

Strange ..... that is the default location and I'll assume you did not change that.
Use spotlight, enter the filename and search.
I just had this problem....an hour and a half later my wife came in and figurerd it out. Do not close outlook. If you have upgraded to Lion, the Library is no longer viewable. Very simple now!!
Perfect help!
LAIII !!!
Excellent help for an extremely frustrating and poorly documented issue - which did not used to exist. Suddenly the outlook temp files are inaccessible!
Many thanks,
Bernie
What happens if I already closed outlook - is there anyway to get the file?
