The emails that I need to extract from almost never have text in them
that I want to read. I can POP them and run my extractor utility and
delete them. I don't see a need to keep them on the server for access
also.
Of course, that may change as I learn more about IMAP and the hosting
server capabilities and capacity.
I use the utility Outlook Express Attachment Extractor. It also comes
in versions for Outlook and Vista Windows Mail. It works! I love it.
And the price is *very*reasonable. (www.ope2000.com) But I am always
open to new ideas so if/when you get email caught up I would
appreciate knowing what utility you have for the the job. Is email
*ever* *really* caught up? :-))
IIRC there is a Mozilla based local email client (Eudora??) that will
automatically extract attachments. I might check that out. If it
also will extract embedded pictures as well as the attached pictures I
might use it as my local client.
