Microsoft Outlook is an email client. Like most other email clients, you can send and receive attachments with Outlook. Outlook gives you the flexibility to customize settings for your attachments. You can configure your Outlook attachment security settings by using Group Policy Editor. Group Policy is an in-house tool that determines rules for the working environment of users accessing your computer. Note that your Outlook account has certain built-in security measures that prevent emails with malicious or harmful attachments from reaching your mailbox.
