Tech Support: Outlook

Kevy Baby · 08-09-2007, 11:11 AM

No, I do not need tech support on my outlook on life, I am trying to figure out something in Outlook.

I use Outlook 2003 I believe (the version before the one that came out with Vista). I am looking for a way to remove attachments from emails that I have received without deleting the emails themselves. I receive a LOT of emails with larger attachments and my Outlook file has bloated to about 8 GB.

I can see in rules where I can SELECT an email with an attachment, but I do not see a command where I can remove that attachment.

Does anyone know how to do this? (FWIW, we do not use Exchange Server - we access email through POP3. However, I do not want to do this to all incoming emails, I just want to be able to batch process a bunch of older emails).
