email manager attachments

    How can I configure the email manager so that the attachments are retrievable? I have a machine setup as an automated user that checks our mail accounts, but any workstation that uses the manager has the paperclip icon, and when its clicked does nothing.

    The attachments are saved on the local machine checking the emails (to the path specified of course). If that path is the same across all machines (for example a mounted network volume) you should be able to access them from any machine. Otherwise, it will just be accessible on the machine that checked the email.

    ok, then how does the "paperclip" Icon behave? what aurguments does it pass? I can have the mailserver automaticaly decode the attachments on messages, and place them in a web accesible directory. If the "paperclip" could be configured to use that address, I could have it retrieve the attachment there.

    The paperclip uses the same path you have defined to save attachments under the setup.

    Thank you, I've maped it to a server share (K:\) on the machine checking the email, and each workstation has a map that is to the same place using the same server share as K:\. everything seems to be working smooth. Just as a note to other users, just trying to use a \\server\share as a path doesn't work reliably.
