Where are the attachments kept?

[quote user="charlesburke"]The emails are all being filtered into a single folder as soon as they're received, and the attached files are all numbered serially: ABC0001.zip, ABC0002.zip, etc.[/quote]

That's good.  From the main menu go to 'Tools / Mail filtering rules' and then select 'Create/edit general rule set'.  Create a new set and add rules. Use the 'Attachments' button to access the attachment handling.

Read the help, but you can specify a rule that will save the attachments using their exisiting names.  Then apply that rule set to the whole folder.

[quote]Is it possible to use asterisk or question mark wildcards for further filtering out the attachments and copying them to a folder on another hard disk? I couldn't find anything about that.[/quote]

Yes, it's all in the help.

Because of a long-term subscription that includes a zipped graphic file every day, I now have a bunch of ZIP files that I need to transfer to their own folder. But going into each email and saving each individual ZIP file, one at a time, is taking forever. I've done a search for the filenames, but they don't seem to exist anywhere on my C drive.

How can I find all of those elusive attachments and move them to another drive, all in one large batch?

I'm using Pegasus v4.52 with Windows 7.

Cheers from warm and smiling Thailand,

The attachments are all stored with the emails, but Pegasus' filtering may make it possible to automatically extract them.

How you do this depends on whether the emails are all in the same folder, and if all the attachments have the same name.

Is it possible to use asterisk or question mark wildcards for further filtering out the attachments and copying them to a folder on another hard disk? I couldn't find anything about that.

Also, when I tried to run "Apply general rule set to folder," it asked me to "Select a filtering rule set." Any hints where I can find that?
