Email Attachments

Part 2 – Saving an Attachment

This document is a visual guide to retrieving an attachment from an email, using the Pendergast District’s Novell GroupWise Webaccess email application.

This set of directions shows how to retrieve an Adobe Acrobat file from an email – but you can retrieve any document.

Use an attachment when a short email note simply will not do. As a general rule of thumb, if the email is going to more than one person, and it is more than 2 paragraphs long, consider using Word to write the letter, and attaching the document to an email note.

Start Webmail Double Click on the Webaccess icon.
Click the Employee Resources button.
Click the WEBMAIL button
Login as usual
Open the message that has the attachment. Messages that have attachments will show a little paper clip icon next to the envelope icon. In the example, a message titled CIS/MIS Meeting is being opened
After the message opens, look at the header. This message has two attachments. Click on the red lettered [Save As], next to the attachment you wish to save.
A File Download dialogue window will appear. Click on the Save button
A Save As dialogue window will appear. Click on the popup button at the right of the Save in: box at the top of the Save As window.
Select your H: drive in the list that drops down. Then click the Save button.
That’s It! You’ve saved an attachment to your H: drive. The final step is to open the application that created the document and open the file as you usually would. Remember that if you attach a document, it is a courtesy to tell the recipient’s what program was used to create the attachment. Other Questions? Contact your CIS or LMS for further information.
