★★★★★
When I decided to close my AOL and Yahoo accounts. I want to extract attachments from them as they are important for me. I have gone through several tools but unable to get satisfaction. Luckily,one day I come across Softaken IMAP Attachment Extractor and I found it is supported with all IMAP Servers that means no need to invest in two different utilities. I immediately applied for its license.
