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.
