Viewing attachments either appearing or opened in Outlook in RecentX on Windows computer

Question

I would like to know how I can get attachments in Outlook to appear immediately in  RecentX  on my Windows computer. Sometimes I open them from Outlook and they do not appear there. I think that they should appear in  RecentX  as soon as I receive the email message.

Answer 1

The attachments are part of outlook on Windows computer. They are not available as separate files. So  RecentX  cannot see them.

If you open the attachment, you may see it in  RecentX . This is not always the case since Outlook opens the attachment in temporary folder and may later delete the file from temporary folder.  RecentX  does index files from temporary folder too. But it doesn't pick immediately because temporary folder is used by several applications just to create temporary files the user is not interested in.

However, if you save the attachment explicitly to a folder from Outlook and then open it, you should see it in  RecentX  immediately.
