All part of the learning process. That's where your email attachments are stored.

Did you get an email with an attachment?

That popped up on my Axim I believe after I set it to save attachments to BIS.

This program will help. Total Commander for PPC 2.0. You'll see the real file extensions then. If you're trying to use PC logic on your PPC you'll need to be able to see things like that. This is not an easy OS to tweak without that at the very least.


Anyway... you can delete that folder. It will be recreated the next time you get an e-mail attachment. :)

but this folder doesn`t contain any files, and when i try to delete it a message says, the folder needs to be empty to be deleted. but it IS empty...
i tried to rename the (crappy) foldername but that wasn`t possible either...
would i get rid of it if i delete my email account?

You can't rename it because it's probably still in use by Pocket Outlook. You can set AS on the PC to not send attachments, then re-sync. Try a soft reset after that and you should be able to delete the folder. But it will be re-created the next time you want to send an email attachment to the PDA.
