Outlook sets them to the real file system dates (ftCreationTime and
ftLastWriteTime).
Even under POP3, you should be able to see these properties on the messages
in your Sent Items folder.

That would explain why I don't see them, since I was looking at POP3 data.
Are the values related to when the attachment itself was originally created
or modified as a file or do they reflect when the message itself was
created/modified?

Actually Exchange (when a message is sent between two mailboxes) preserves
PR_LAST_MODIFICATION_TIME and PR_CREATION_TIME on attachments. When a
message is received over POP3, these properties are gone obviously.

An attachment in a mail message has no date properties. The only date
information available would be the date properties associated with the
parent message.

I would like to overwrite the file in my local folder only if the latest
attachment file is newer than the one already stored. Oftentimes, I
receive
iterations of the same file name.

Currently, I'm using a randomizer:

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objMessage.Attachments.Item(i).SaveAsFile "C:\mailarchive\attachments\" &
strTempFile & "_" & _
objMessage.Attachments.Item(i).FileName

I would like to modify to:
IF mylocalfile.date attachement.date THEN
SaveAsFile

2) "Older" compared with what? You can work with the attachment itself
only
after it has been saved.

A new question:
Is there a way to check the date of the attachment item? I would like to
overwrite older attachments.
