The Microsoft Outlook Attachment Extractor is a small software program for the Windows operating system that can extract and remove email attachments from selected Microsoft Outlook folders. Extracting in this case simply means to save the attachments of a selected Outlook folder to another location on the computer system. Removing on the other hand means that the attachments will get unlinked from the email messages which will free up the space on the hard drive that the Outlook mails and profiles reside on.

This does not have to mean that the attachment cannot be opened from the email anymore. It is possible to remove the attachment from the Outlook folder completely, to replace it with a link pointing to the new location of the files or to replace it with a text reference in the email attachment.

Several options are available to configure the process in detail. It is for example possible to only process attachments that have a specific extension or those that are larger than a certain file size. The destination folder for the attachments can be selected as well as rules on how to process already existing files.

The Outlook Attachment Remover can also be used to add the removed attachments to the email messages again at a later point if the need arises.

Here are the information that have to be entered into the desktop email software so that Hotmail can be accessed:

• Incoming Server: pop3.live.com
• Incoming Port: 995
• SSL Encryption: yes
• Outgoing Server: smtp.live.com
• Outgoing port: 25 (use port 587 if the default port is not working)
• Authentication: yes
• TLS Or SSL: yes

Please note that the names might differ depending on the desktop email client in use. The values on the other hand do not change. The username (usually the Windows Live Hotmail email address) and password are the same that are used when logging into the Hotmail website using a web browser.

There is no need for configuration of POP3 on the Hotmail website. This is a difference to how Gmail is handling external access as it has to be explicitly activated in the email web interface before it is possible to access a Gmail account using POP3 or SMTP.

It is indeed possible to import those mail database files into email clients. It does not really have to be Microsoft Outlook, other email clients will work fine as well. The advantage of Outlook Express Viewer is that it is a portable software that can display the contents immediately.

Just point it at a email database file to load it into the software program. It is then possible to browse through the emails immediately. This procedure leaves no traces on the host system while an import in an installed email client would.

As you can see in the screenshot it is possible to view emails in an email client like environment and print messages on a printer. Attachments can be saved to the hard drive and emails can be exported into eml format which can be read by most email clients.

Outlook Express Viewer is working on all Microsoft operating systems since Windows 95 including Windows XP and Windows Vista.
