Remove Email Attachments In Outlook and Keep Messages

Many of you may have mail quotas at work or you may simply want to keep on top of things. In this guide you’ll learn how to remove attachments from e-mails, while keeping the e-mail in your inbox.

Saving the Attachment

To save the attachment, right click on the e-mail (see figure 1) and click Save As.

(For more than one attachment, open the e-mail and click File > Save Attachments > Save All )

Removing the Attachment

Right click on the e-mail (see figure 1) and click Remove.
