This is complex to do and I don't think someone will just post this code as an answer to this question.

What have you tried yourself? Is your solution 95% finished or are you hoping for a free-of-charge solution.

Personaly I would not interface with outlook but directly with exchange via the NAS.

I Have Done some coding on it, it scan and save the attached file to the specific folder , But having problem it not filter the sender and attached file i think it is completed by 80 %.

I see.

It wil help if you post the code.

Do you use a dedicated mailbox for this solution? That usually helps so you can just process al emails that enter the inbox.

This function copies attachments in mails to a given directory:

fctCopyAttachments(ptxtID : Text[250];ptxtDirectory : Text[250];VAR pintNumberOfMails : Integer)
//fctCopyAttachments

olMapiFolder := olNameSpace.GetFolderFromID(ptxtID);
ltxtFindCriteria := '[Subject] = ''All mails containing this text''';
olItems := olMapiFolder.Items.Restrict(ltxtFindCriteria);

//Save attachments to directory
i := 1;
lintEndOfLoop := olItems.Count;
WHILE i <= lintEndOfLoop DO BEGIN
  olMItem := olItems.Item(i);

  olAttachments := olMItem.Attachments;
  IF olAttachments.Count = 1 THEN BEGIN
    olAttachment := olAttachments.Item(1);
    olAttachment.SaveAsFile(ptxtDirectory + '\' + olAttachment.FileName);
  END;

  i := i + 1;
END;

pintNumberOfMails := lintEndOfLoop;

CLEAR(olItems);
CLEAR(olMItem);
CLEAR(olAttachments);
CLEAR(olMapiFolder);

This function moves mails from one Outlook folder to another OL folder:

fctMove2Folder(ptxtID : Text[250];ptxtID2 : Text[250])
//fctMove2Folder

olMapiFolder := olNameSpace.GetFolderFromID(ptxtID);
olMapiFolder2 := olNameSpace.GetFolderFromID(ptxtID2);
ltxtFindCriteria := '[Subject] = ''All mails containing this text''';
olItems := olMapiFolder.Items.Restrict(ltxtFindCriteria);

FOR i := 1 TO olItems.Count DO BEGIN
  olMItem := olItems.Item(i);
  olMItem.Move(olMapiFolder2);
  CLEAR(olMItem);
  i := 999999;
END;

CLEAR(olItems);
CLEAR(olMItem);
CLEAR(olMapiFolder);
CLEAR(olMapiFolder2);

The idea of a forum is to learn from each other, not just consume. I am still curious where your problem was and how your code looks.
