How to import pictures that are attached to emails into Picasa

To import pictures into Picasa from an email, you first need to save them to a folder location that is set to “scan always” in the Picasa Folder Manager. This setting is under the “Tools” menu option.

First, from your email application, choose the email message with the picture attachment. The email message should display some type of attachment icon such as a paper clip or document icon.

Second, simply click the attachment symbol or icon in the email message.

Third, select or click the save button to save the attachment to a particular folder. In this case, you should save it in the folder you picked as the scan always folder. An alternate method would be to right-click the icon or symbol for the attachment and select “save.”

Fourth, Windows Explorer will appear so that you can select the location you want to save the picture. The choice is up to you but once again if you want to get the most leverage out of your work, you will want to save it to the “always scan” folder from above. A good recommendation would be to make the “always scan” directory the “My Pictures” folder located inside the “My Documents” folder.

Fifth, simply click “Save.” The picture(s) from your email attachment has now been saved to your computer’s disk drive.

Here’s the key to the saving of your pictures to the “always scan” or more correctly “scan always” folder: the pictures will be automatically displayed by Picasa without any intervention on your part. Isn’t that cool!
