Most Outlook users think that an email attachment is gone when they delete it in the email client. Only a few know that Microsoft Outlook saves attachments that are considered safe in a temporary Internet files subfolder from where they can be accessed as well if the temporary folder has not been cleared in the meantime. Users can therefor open the temporary Internet files on their computer system and locate the temporary Outlook folder to recover Microsoft Outlook attachments.

OLK Finder is a software program that has been designed to provide a more comfortable solution. The application will automatically scan for the temporary Outlook folder and list all attachments that have been stored in that folder in its interface.

The portable application can be started from any location. The Microsoft Outlook version has to be selected at the top so that the contents are displayed. Available are all Outlook versions from Outlook 97 to Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. Outlook Finder tries to find the location of the temporary Outlook attachments automatically after selecting the Outlook version. All attachments that have been found are displayed in the lower part of the program’s interface.

It is then possible to select some or all of the files that are listed in the interface. A double-click will launch the selected file immediately. A right-click will display the usual Windows Explorer context menu with options to copy or send the selected files.

Outlook Finder is ideal if you want to restore Microsoft Outlook mail attachments that you have received recently. Users who regularly clear the Internet cache might not be able to use the program to its fullest extent though which means that their only solution are file recovery programs.

Outlook Stats View is another interesting application by popular software developer Nirsoft. The software program scans the Microsoft Outlook mailbox and will display statistics about every contact found. The email analyzer will scan incoming and outgoing emails and display various statistics that are computed during the scan. It will add every user to the usual table form that is part of almost every Nirsoft application. Each row includes information about incoming and outgoing email messages sent and received by the user, the total email message size, the email client used by each user and the time range that the emails were send and received. The outgoing emails are further divided into to, cc, bcc and total.

Outlook Stats View is compatible with any version of Microsoft Outlook and every NT based Microsoft operating system since Windows 2000 including Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003/2008. The program can scan the Outlook mailbox automatically if only one Outlook profile on the computer system exists on the computer system and if that profile is not password protected. Microsoft Outlook users with multiple profiles or password protected profiles need to start Outlook with that profile activated before they run Outlook Stats View.

Scanning time depends largely on the size of the Outlook mailbox, it usually ranges from mere seconds to several minutes. Options to export the mail statistics to html are provided.
