Opening and saving attachments
Attachments appear above the text of the message. Images are also shown as a preview below the message.
Opening or saving an attachment
- Click the name of the attachment (1). The webmail opens it in a new window if your browser can display the file, such as a PDF or a photo.
- Want to save it? Click the arrow next to the name for more options, such as downloading. For an image below the message, click Download.
All attachments at once
If a message has several attachments, you'll see the Download all attachments link next to the sender (2). You then get a single zip file containing all the attachments.
Saving a whole message
Click More and choose Download (.eml). This saves the message as a file, for example to keep it or to pass it on to someone. If you select several messages first, you get them together in a zip file.
Please note: never open an attachment you aren't expecting, even if the email seems to come from someone you know. Zip, exe and HTML files, and Office files with macros in particular, are a well-known way of spreading viruses.
