Save Attachments Activity issue

[vadim]

If you get an mail message with attachments having the same name and you use SaveAttachments Activity then only the last one (attachment) will be saved the in file system. Any decisions?

Do a check to see if the email contains multiple files with the same name, if it does then when you save the attachment can you add on an incremental integer to the end of the filename? that way you shouldn’t get any conflicts.

Hey @vadim,

I would suggest you to rename the file while saving the attachment.

An email contains two attachments with the same filename. How to save properly theses attachments?

Hello here ! We want to save attachments from emails. Ok it’s classic here. We have a mail who contains two different files with exactly the same filename. If we use “Save Attachments” activity, we will find in output folder only one file (it’s logic). So how to find a workaround regarding this issue ? Kind regards, Alex

Thanks. I used “attachment.Name” (where attachment is System.Net.Mail.MailAttachment) property to change an attachment name before the saving.
