How to save attachments from several eMails at the same time. Looking to save all attachments from tens of messages without the need of doing it one message by one. Is there a way to do this?

Kind Regards

Hi!

Thunderbird has no native way of doing this, but you might consider the AttachmentExtractor add-on for Thunderbird.

Once it's installed, you can select all the e-mails from which you wish to download the attachments, right-click, and then click "Extract From Selected Messages To" > "(0) Browse", and then pick the directory you want to save the attachments to.


I hope that solved your problem!

If it did, would you please choose this answer as your solution? It would help other Thunderbird users to find help on the forums faster and more efficiently. Thanks!

And of course, feel free to post back if you need more help!

Happy email trails (two drums and a cymbal fell off a cliff)!
