RE: How to delete E-mail attachments only.
Jason, thank you for the custom workflow you created. I was able to import this workflow and run it on the view with old mails with attachments above a certain size.
Only thing I can't get working is the "note", the one that states the attachment is detailed from the mail. I'm using this in a CRM 2015 / Outlook client and online.
Just to help others hereby an how to of your workflow, if somethings wrong or not clear feel free to change.
Step on how to use the “CRM 2011 - 2013 and 2015 Internal Email Helpers” custom workflow
- Download the zip file from https://crm2011internalemail.codeplex.com/ or https://crmemailworkflowutilities.codeplex.com/ if you need the updated 2015 version .
- Import the zip file in your sollutions (settings – solutions – import)
- Next go to customizations (settings – customizations – customize the system)

- Entity = email
- Activate = proces (or what applies to your system)

- Configure the step – show properties
- Add with the form assistant in the field for “email with attachments to remove – {emailmessage(Email)} – the value in the field should show in yellow color if done correctly
- The value for “delete >= than X Bytes is set in bytes – so 5MB looks like 5000000
