Invoices, purchase orders, and data reports pouring into multiple Outlook mailboxes shouldn't need a manual save-as. Mail Attachment Downloader PRO watches every account you configure, filters exactly the emails you want, and drops the attachments (or the whole email) straight onto a local network folder or NAS — ready for OCR, archiving, or your ERP to pick up.
High volumes of invoices, POs, and reports across multiple mailboxes quickly overwhelm anyone doing this by hand — or with a fragile Outlook macro.
Handling invoices@yourcompany.com and sales@yourcompany.com? You don't need separate processes for each.
Isolate exactly the emails you care about before anything gets saved.
Payments or Invoices'Payments' OR 'Invoices' for powerful, precise rulesThe Save phase gives full control over the destination path for network or NAS storage.
Some downstream systems need the full message context, not just the attachment.
Two mailboxes, two destinations, zero manual effort.
Configure the rule wizard, test it, and walk away.
Add every Outlook mailbox that receives attachments you need
By account, sender, or subject — with logical operators if needed
Point the Save phase at your network folder or NAS path
As a Windows Service, 24/7, feeding your downstream systems
Most approaches involve fragile VBA macros or Outlook rules that break the moment IT changes something. PRO doesn't depend on Outlook rules, VBA, or a logged-in session at all.
