Team,

I use Outlook 2003 and in my add-in I save attachments in a share folder
(UNC). I don't see any issue while writing in to the shared folder but when I
attempt to read, the message does not open. I don't have google desktop
installed on my machine. Is there any resolution for this problem?

Regards,
Selvam.

Attempt to read it in code or in the user interface?

Are you saving the attachments as the correct type of files?

I'm trying to open the saved item manually using outlook 2007/2003. Just to
give a correct context, the user tries to open the item is not the owner of
the message... and the attachment gets stored in a remote share on network.

I think you mean the file extension by referring "the correct file
types?"... If so, yes. If not, I don't know how to set correct file type. OL
2003 object model does not have message type as a parameter in the SaveFileAs
method.

Method Signature
===========
Outlook.Attachment.SaveFileAs string

At the same time I don't have any issue with other files like images,
documents...

Regards,
Selvam.

What types of items are you having problems with, if not with images or
documents?

What happens if you go to the files in Windows Explorer and double-click on
it?

Please provide all the relevant information you have.

What do you mean by "I'm trying to open the saved item manually using
outlook 2007/2003"? How exactly are you trying to do that?

Ken,

Thanks for great response and follow-up.

Only with embedded mail item (message) as attachments thats where I have
problem with. That too not while saving the attachment (embedded mail
item/Message) in to the shared folder...

Only when opening the saved item... I use .msg extension for the embedded
mail item types and in explorer it showed as email message type files.

User double clicks on the item to open it up in outlook. User may use OL
2003 or OL 2007.

Please let me know if I can provide any other details.

Regards,
Selvam.

Are you sure that those embedded attachments are actually Outlook objects,
and not images or something else? How are you testing for that?

To be clear, if you find that MSG file in Windows Explorer and double-click
on it does it open as an Outlook item? Does it open at all?
