Single email with multiple attached emails

Question

Hi. I get one email from a client with multiple emails attached that he receives from a vendor. All the emails have a PDF attached to them. How can I download all the PDFs within these email attachments without having to open each email within the received email and downloading them one at a time as choosing "Save All Attachments" just saves the emails down? Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Hi @Renier Eaves ,

Unfortunately, Outlook does not provide a built-in feature to download attachments from emails that are themselves attached to an email. The “Save All Attachments” option will only save the attached emails, not the attachments within those emails.

As an alternative, you can save the attached email to a specified folder and then extract the attachment through a script or other third-party tool.

You can not direcly save an attachement of an attached email, you have to open them first.
