I assume that you misunderstand the feature (though I have to admit  
that it is easy to misunderstand it).

"linked attachments" refers to a special feature of the web client.

Assume you communicate with somebody that you know will bounce message  
with size > 5MB. You would like to send that person a 10MB message  
though. With the Kolab web client you can send the message that won't  
contain the actual attachment but just a link to a file that can be  
downloaded from the web server (potentially with a one time token that  
get's invalidated once the file was successfully downloaded once).

This is what is called a "linked attachment".

If you use the feature then cleaning up such linked attachments  
periodically may make sense. I admit though that the way it works in  
the current client is somewhat annoying. The request should be omitted  
if the user does not actually use the feature.

In any case this will *not* delete any attachments from your mails or  
any shared folders.

Cheers,

Gunnar
