Saves the content of the attachment into a file in the specified folder.

Parameters

folderName

The absolute or relative path to the folder where the attachment file should be saved.

overwrite

Specifies if the file must be overwritten if it already exists.

Return Value

true if the attachment was successfully saved to disk; otherwise, false.

Remarks

This method saves the attachment content to the folder under the actual filename of the attachment (which is taken from Filename property). To save the attachment under another filename, use the Save method.

Note   If overwrite is false and the file with the same filename already exists, the attachment will be saved under another name. For instance, if cat.gif is being saved and such file already exists, it will be actually saved as cat[1].gif. The developer can use SavedAs property to obtain the filename of the saved file.

Exceptions
