Guide Review - DetachPipe 4.4
Attachments are great, and that's why everybody sends files small and large around recklessly. Only the mail server admin wonders where all the GBs of disk space have gone. Using DetachPipe, she can reclaim some of that lost space and give the server a small speed boost.DetachPipe connects to any MAPI mail server and looks for attachments. Then you can decide what shall happen to the attached files: they can be deleted, detached or saved to a different location (the user's computer, for example). If the file is saved, a notice about the new location is placed in the email.
Unfortunately, the email's modification date is also changed, possibly interfering with an archiving policy. So run DetachPipe regularly to avoid big detachment lags.
