Check the Help for:

RetrievePOP3>server,username,password,output_path

Retrieves mail from a POP3 server and stores new mail messages in the folder specified in output_path.

That copies the emails to a text file. I just want the email attachments (which are .tif files) saved to the specified directory. Do you know if this is possible?.

Thx,

John

hey John,

look at:

this litle util (free for non-comercial use) does the job.
You can use MS to control the process.
hope this helps,
