Where can I file my emails?
You can file emails into any network or system folder that can be seen in windows explorer.
What format are the emails filed in?
All emails are saved in the “.msg” file format which is native to Microsoft Outlook. These emails can be previewed in Windows Explorer (Windows 7 onwards), using any version of Microsoft Outlook, or any compatible viewer.
How many emails can I file at a time?
You can batch file emails in one go by selecting the emails in Outlook using the Ctrl key or the Shift key before selecting the “File to Folder” icon on the FileChimp ribbon menu.
Do Duplicate emails get filed?
No. Duplicates are avoided where the same file name template is in use. If you work in an office and have multiple users filing emails with FileChimp only 1 copy of each email will be stored.
How to I know which emails have already been filed?
Each email in Outlook is marked with an orange tick once it has been successfully filed into the file system.
Where are my email attachments filed?
FileChimp retains the integrity of the email, with attachments contained in each email. Simply open windows explorer at the desired filing location and re-open the message to view the message content and attachments as if you had opened them from Outlook itself.
How to save an email to a single network folder
In Microsoft Outlook select the email you wish to file, next select File to Folder from the FileChimp toolbar on the Outlook ribbon bar.
