Attachment Options in detail

If you often send files of different kinds by e-mail, you know that Microsoft Outlook completely blocks access to potentially insecure types of files (e.g., to *.exe, etc.), even though you are absolutely sure they are safe.

With the help of Attachments Options plug-in you can choose on your own, what file types are regarded as dangerous and what - as safe. You can allow access to previously blocked file types, or fully prohibit access to the selected file types. If you are not sure about the safety of this operation, you can switch on blocking these files immediately after saving the required file.

With Attachment Options plugin you can:

• Work with attached files of insecure types in Microsoft Outlook.
• Manage access to different file types.

ATTENTION! All files that come with the emails must be checked before opening as they might contain viruses!

How to work with Attachment Options:

Please make sure the Attachment Options is enabled.

After you install the MAPILab Toolbox, go to "Tools" -> "MAPILab Toolbox" -> "Options" and make sure the checkbox of the plugin is checked.

Now, specify what files are to be considered dangerous, and what files are not. For that, check the file types in the component's settings (menu "Tools" > "MAPILab Toolbox" > "Attachments Options"), that you consider safe for use:

Microsoft Outlook must be restarted after applying all changes. After this you will be able to access the selected file types:

In order to give the access control back to Microsoft Outlook, uncheck all file types (you can also use the "Reset All" button).
