What's new in Attachments Processor for Outlook?

Version 5.0.2 - released on April 11, 2023

  • Multiple compatibility fixes with the recent Microsoft security updates

Version 5.0.1 - released on February 10, 2023

  • New: for N-User license, the number of licensed users is now displayed in the program “About” window
  • Fixed: marking processed messages as Read/Unread if the rule is configured at Scheduler

Version 5.0 - released on August 24, 2022

  • Compatibility with Windows 11.
  • Compatibility with Outlook 2021 and Outlook 365 for Windows the latest versions and builds.
  • Delay is added for the rules which process incoming messages automatically. That helps avoid possible conflicts with the native Outlook rules and mail security software.
  • Fixed an issue with using shortcuts to saved attachments.
  • Fixed an issue with selecting and processing Search Folders, shared folders, and additional mailboxes.
  • Licensing model of the product is changed: starting from version 5.0, the subscription-based licensing is applied.
  • Add-in interface updates:
    • Archiving options for outgoing emails are merged to a single tab.
    • Support of resizing for the window and columns in the rule list in the Advanced mode.

Version 4.8 - released on September 25, 2019

New: processing archives with keeping folder structure is now supported.

Version 4.7 - released on November 13, 2017

  • Fixed: the method of handling shortcuts attached to the messages while replacing files extracted by the add-in is corrected. The June and July 2017 Security Updates for Microsoft Office change the settings which block displaying numerous attachments (file types) in the Outlook email client, incl. shortcuts added by our tool. New context menu option - "Open linked file" - lets our customers continue using Attachments Processor rules for replacing attached files in the messages with the LNK-shortcuts, and reduce that way their mailbox size.
  • The "Blocked Attachments Settings" tool is updated: compatibility with the June and July 2017 Security Updates for Microsoft Office is added.
  • The mechanism of recognizing the method of attaching a file to the message is improved: in some cases, the regular attachments could be recognized as the embedded ones.
  • Correction of the mass processing and recovering files mechanism by using the add-in option from the main Outlook 2016 menu; that solves the issue with probable "freezing" and incorrect cancellation of the add-in operation.
  • New: the tool for conversion of old shortcuts to the new format is added - new shortcuts are fully supported by recent Microsoft updates for Outlook. The new option "Convert attached references to LNK-files" is added to the context menu in email folders and for selected messages.

Version 4.6 - released on September 18, 2017

  • Fixed: an installation issue is resolved, for the computer users with limited permissions (i.e. Standard Users), the issue previously prevented the add-in from appearing in the limited user's Outlook toolbars.
  • Corrected: the error "Unknown error 0xC1F40201" known with sending digitally signed messages is fixed (compatibility with a 3rd-party application for adding digital signature may depend on current software configuration).
  • Updated: message filtering system for the emails with embedded attachments; new setting: "Apply to embedded attachments too" is added to the rule tabs "Files" and "Message filters". Now the type of inserted objects to the message can affect filtering messages, which enables exclusion of messages with embedded attachments (tabs, images in the message body) at the level of sorting messages for further processing.

Version 4.5.1.0 - released on May 23, 2017

  • Sorting rules by Name is supported now.
  • Resize of the add-in Options dialogue window is supported.
