Auto save attachment to folder [subject]
Hi !
We were used Exchange 2000 but now migrated to Exchange 2007 (and in next step to Exchange 2010).
Task: Save attachment sent to specific mailbox (public folder) to network share in folder specified in [subject]. Exmaple: user x send attached file to mailbox @bailbox.com with subject USER1. Attached file should be saved in
\\fileshare\USER1. If folder is not there, it should be created.
Solution: Works with VBS script and Event Service in Exchange 2000
Question: How to implement this functionality in Exchange 2007 / 2010 ?
Thank you !

Hi,
Unfortunately this is not possible to perform without an application running. Even if you, or one of the programmers in your group, writes an application to
save these attachments , something still has to run in the background...or in the foreground for that matter.

It is possible to utilize Exchange and Sharepoint to save
attachments to a SharePoint Document Library. What you would likely do is define an alternate recipient for the mailbox that will be recieving the
attachments . This should forward it to the SharePoint site. Note - This does have a fair share of problems due to how mail application
"wrap" the
attachment . For more information please see the following articles:

There are third party applications out there, but they will not meet your requirements because they are an application that must run on the server. Information discussing these third-party options are listed here:

Have you looked at the Exchange Web Services Managed API?

By the way, I think the Exchange Development Forum is a better place to seek your solution:
