Saving attachments from multiple e-mails

Greetings,

I was not quite sure where to post this, as it might seem like a rather basic issue but I have no idea if it’s even a feature.

We have several Mail-in-DB’s containing several thousands of e-mails ranging back several years containing mainly CV’s.

Is there anyway for me in order to save all the attachments within these mails in one go?

I would need to do this in order to transfer them on to another database we have started using for our CV’s.

I hope someone can help me verify if this is even possible and if so how to do it.

Best regards,

Johan V Sigfridsson

It is not soooo much code, but somewhat tricky if you have never done it, depending on circumstances, it will take an exerienced developer a few hours (up to two days) to do that for you

For if other means dont work out…

We use a kinda sloppy workaround when needing to do just that for a few mails: select the mails and press Forward. All selected mail will be put into one mail. Now you can right click any attachment and do a Save All.

This works fine for 10 mails or so, and even did it with about 100 mails in Notes 6.5x (go get some coffee or something while your computer tries to create that huge mail).

You might get some problems for the amount of mails you have with this though.

Still, if nothing else works, you could always try. Pick a computer with a nice new CPU and big amount of memory for it, and use it on a local copy of that mail database.
