Just upgraded to 52.1.1, and it forced me to generate my gmail account all over again (as I'd recently installed 2-factor authentication at gmail).

I find that TBird is now downloading ALL the e-mail (and all the attachments) that I had stored in Gmail. BUT I don't need the attachments, as I'd already reviewed my e-mail in Gmail and downloaded important attachments.

So my questions: 1) can i prevent TBird from downloading gmail attachments? 2) is there a way to globally remove ALL attachments from TBird?

Thanks in advance!

I doubt it. Technically, an email message is just a sequence of bytes. The presence, or otherwise, of attachments can only be discerned after the message has been downloaded into the email client and parsed, or analyzed.
