Has anyone done a script that will save attchements to a location for messages sent to someone and from someone?
Like
if (from=="
test@test.com" && to=="
to@test.com") SaveFiles("C:\Here")
Sorry I am a NEWB in VBScript and just wanted to see if anyone else has done this.
Thanks!
Jeremy

Sure.
Rule:
Use AND
Criteria: from contains
from@address.com
Criteria: to contains
to@address.com
Action: Run Function SaveAttachment
Code: Select all
Sub SaveAttachment(oMessage)
Dim i, strDir, strFile
strDir = "C:\path\to\attachment_folder\"
For i = 0 To oMessage.Attachments.Count-1
strFile = oMessage.Attachments.item(i).Filename
oMessage.Attachments.item(i).SaveAs(strDir & strFile)
Next
End Sub
I use it for a note taking service called RocketBook. Something my wife got me. Each category of note has a unique email address using plus addressing (
me+category1@mydomain.tld) and the rule only has to pick up the TO address to match. Each category has a separate folder. Works great except my 6 year old used to write in my notebook with pens that don't erase.
If you want multiple folders, you need multiple subs and multiple rules.

Awesome thanks... now I am going to show you how green I am on this..... Where do I put the Rule, is it in the normal vbs file in the program directory?

So I spoke too soon, I put it in the vbs, reloaded and setup the rules and tested but the files never moved over. Is there anywhere specific you need to put the rules or is there an error log somewhere?
Thanks,
Jeremy

add the vbs provided to your eventhandlers.vbs (must be this file, in it's existing location)
In the admin GUI enable scripts
