How to save attachments to a folder with Outlook 2011?

Hi,

First of all, if there is another way other than applescript that also does the trick, that is also fine.

I've been searching the web for a script to save all the attachments from my email to a local folder (Or network folder) and then delete them using applescript.

I came acros alot of script but all of them don't save my actual attachment, the best script I found deleted the attachment and added a line in the email saying the attachment was deleted. I tried so many scripts, trying to combine and edit them but they all don't seem to save my attachments.

so somehow the this part of saving does not work

save a in “/Users/****/Desktop/” & id of msg & “/” & name of a

Is there a change in code maybe? Cause the posts are from 2 years ago.

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"

set msgs to current messages

set sz to 0

repeat with msg in msgs

set theName to subject of msg

set fixName to theName as string

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "/"

set theString to text items of fixName

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " "

set fixName to theString as string

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""

log "Subject: " & subject of msg

tell application "Finder"

set p to path to desktop

make new folder at p with properties {name:fixName}

end tell

set fileDownloadedList to "Attachments Removed:<br>------------------------<br>"

if msgs is {} then

display dialog "Please select a message first then run the script" with icon 1

return

end if

set atts to attachments of msg

repeat with att in atts

set a to att

try

set asz to file size of a

save a in "/Users/ssbg/Desktop/" & fixName & name of a

set sz to sz + asz

set fileDownloadedURL to "file://localhost" & my path2url(POSIX path of fileDownloaded)

set fileDownloadedList to fileDownloadedList & "Attachment: <a href=\"" & fileDownloadedURL & "\">" & fileDownloaded & "</a><br>"

on error

exit repeat

end try

end repeat

set content of msg to fileDownloadedList & "<br>" & content of msg

set attachmentCount to count of atts

repeat (attachmentCount) times

delete item 1 of atts

end repeat

end repeat

end tell

Thanks alot

Sandy
