Reclaim Gigabytes - Automatically Detach, Restore, Save and Remove Email Attachments!

from a satisfied customer... "This is how Outlook should have worked in the first place. Thanks for fixing such a basic flaw!”

DetachPipe™ is a complete email attachment management solution for Microsoft Outlook.

Studies have shown that over 85% of email by volume is taken up by attachments ? documents, spreadsheets, presentations etc. By managing your email attachments you can dramatically reduce the volume of data in your mail file without having to delete emails.

The DetachPipe Add On frees attachments from Outlook's PST file, massively reducing its size, assisting backups and making Outlook faster and more reliable.

Attachments can be detached to disk with a clickable hyperlink left in place (the paperclip icon can be retained to assist searches based on attachments), or deleted. Attachments can be reattached later if required. Entire folders can have their attachments detached, saved, deleted, compressed or restored.

No retraining required! - DetachPipe does not require any change to your existing email workflow - incoming attachments are automatically detached from Inbox emails, and re-attached to Forwarded emails in the Outbox. Attachments on Sent Items can be deleted. DetachPipe watches your Deleted Items and offers to remove attachments stored on disk when you delete the related email, or it can just do this automatically for you.

Attachments can be compressed for extra space savings, and DetachPipe even checks for and merges duplicate attachments - saving even more space.

DetachPipe gives you complete control over the naming of detached files. The default naming scheme of [Folder Name][Subject]_[FileName] allows the original email to easily be found. The file modified date is also set to the email date.

DetachPipe can process the current email, groups of selected emails, or even bulk process entire folders and subfolders. Different detach rules can be applied to each folder, and one or more AutoDetach rules take care of attachments according to a time schedule.

DetachPipe can even be used to bulk-extract attachments for digital forensics investigations.

DetachPipe integrates with DropBox - so you can easily store your files online.

from Sergi Gorchs @ Frigorics Ferrer (a Barcelona business with 200 employees) "Let me tell you that I’ve won a point ( a medal ;-) ) thanks to this piece of software. It has reduced a huge amount of routine tasks, more than 8 hours per day, done in 2 minutes”

Potential Uses

• Reducing Outlook PST folder size - making Outlook or Exchange Server faster for all users, more stable and easier to backup
• Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance (ensuring that all electronic records and electronic messages are saved for at least five years)
• Litigation Support and Digital Forensics- detaching all documents from an offender's mailbox to allow for searching
• Saving all incoming PDF/image attachments to a folder on disk for processing/conversion/printing. Use our File Watcher tool to detect files when they arrive and batch process them.

I configured the placeholders using the new [FolderPartx] functions. I used the "detach string of folders" option and can't tell you how pleased I was to see it process nearly 2GB of attachments all at once. It worked perfectly the first try! Great Work & Thanks! - Nick
