Powershell command to send emails/attachments to shared drive

Hi PJTharpe,

To automatically save fax attachments from a shared mailbox to a shared network location using PowerShell, you can use the following steps:

1. Create a new PowerShell script.
2. Add the following code to the script:

# Get the shared mailbox email address.
$mailboxAddress = "removed for privacy reasons"

# Get the shared network location.
$networkLocation = "\\server\faxes"

# Create a new MailMessage object.
$message = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage

# Subscribe to the MessageReceived event.
$message.MessageReceived += {
    # Get the attachments from the email message.
    $attachments = $message.Attachments

    # Save each attachment to the shared network location.
    foreach ($attachment in $attachments) {
        $filePath = $networkLocation + "\" + $attachment.FileName
        $attachment.SaveAsFile($filePath)
    }
}

# Start listening for new email messages.
$message.StartListening()

1. Save the script as a .ps1 file.
2. Create a scheduled task to run the script on a regular basis. For example, you could run the script every minute.

Once the script is running, it will automatically save all fax attachments from the shared mailbox to the shared network location.

Here is an example of how to create a scheduled task to run the script every minute:

1. Open the Task Scheduler.
2. Click on "Create Task".
3. Give the task a name and description.
4. Select "Run whether user is logged on or not".
5. Select "Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, or Windows 11".
6. Click on the "Triggers" tab.
7. Click on "New".
8. Select "On a schedule".
9. Select "Daily".
10. Select "Every 1 minute".
11. Click on the "Actions" tab.
12. Click on "New".
13. Select "Start a program".
14. In the "Program/script" box, browse to the PowerShell script file that you created.
15. Click on "OK".
16. Click on the "OK" button to create the scheduled task.

The scheduled task will now run the PowerShell script every minute, and the script will automatically save all fax attachments from the shared mailbox to the shared network location.

there are a few things to keep in mind:

• You need to make sure that the PowerShell script has the necessary permissions to access the shared mailbox and the shared network location.
• You need to make sure that the scheduled task is running with the correct permissions.
• You need to make sure that the shared network location has enough disk space to store the fax attachments.
