Hi,
I've just received an email with an attached access file, with mdb extension. When opening the email, the attachment isn't visible, and the following message is displayed:
"Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments: report.mdb."
I know this is a security feature implemented in Outlook, so that mdb, exe, com, vb, ... files are not available to the common user. If the file had been zipped or even the extension removed, this problem shouldn't have happened.
Even so, I would like to make a few questions:
[1] The email has been retrieved from mail server to my personal folder, so it's already on my (client) side. But is the attached file just hidden, or has been completly deleted by outlook?
[2] Is it possible to access the file? How can I disable this Outlook feature?
Thank you.
