Save Attached Outlook Items is a utility designed to extract and save messages, contacts, appointments, meetings, tasks, notes, journal entries, and other Outlook items that are attached within emails or other Outlook items. The tool addresses the challenge of accessing embedded Outlook items, particularly when multiple layers of attachments are present due to repeated forwarding or email system issues. Instead of manually opening each message and its attachments, users can automate the extraction and saving process, which is especially useful when handling large numbers of items across multiple folders.
The utility offers features such as recursive extraction of embedded items, preservation of the original folder structure during the saving process, and filtering by item type or date. It can also mark saved items as unread. Save Attached Outlook Items is available as an Outlook add-in, allowing users to save items directly from opened or selected messages within Outlook. Additionally, a command-line application is provided for batch processing, enabling the saving of embedded items from PST data files or Exchange mailboxes belonging to other users.
The tool is delivered as a utility that integrates with Microsoft Outlook and requires the OutlookFreeware Utility Manager for installation and operation. It is compatible with Microsoft Office Outlook versions ranging from 2007 to 365 and supports Windows operating systems from Windows XP SP3 through Windows 11. A free, limited version is available for non-commercial home use only and will not function in a domain environment. Some features and domain support are exclusive to an advanced version, which is offered separately.
Developed by Relief Software, Save Attached Outlook Items is positioned as a productivity tool for managing and extracting Outlook item attachments efficiently. The advanced version is also included in a broader commercial product suite. The utility is intended for individual users seeking to streamline the handling of attached Outlook items outside of business or domain settings.
