Question about deleting mails with attachments
Hi,
I have migrate from Eudora. After using Outlook 2007 for a while, it is not clear to me what happens with an e-mail with one or more attachments when you delete it. Do the attachments stay enbedded inside the PST file or they are also deleted ? Same for outgoing mails Thank you Bangali

Same for outgoing mails Thank you Bangali Unlike Eudora, Outlook keeps the attachment with the email itself, rather than in a separate folder. So when you delete an email with an attachment and then empty the deleted items folder, the whole thing is gone, including the attachment. HTH

Same for outgoing mails If you delete a message with attchaments and then empty the Deleted Items folder, the attachments go away as well because attachments are a part of the message body. The space they occupied in the PST is marked as available for reuse (so-called "white space") and is release to the operating system if you compact the PST in Outlook. -- Brian Tillman

Brian,
If you delete a message with attchaments and then empty the Deleted Items folder, the attachments go away as well because attachments are a part of the message body. The space they occupied in the PST is marked as available for reuse (so-called "white space") and is release to the operating system if you compact the PST in Outlook. Thanks a lot for your clarifcations Bangali
