Cannot choose specific destination folder.

by Tom McCoid (Developer) on Sept. 16, 2024 ·

Extracted attachments are packaged in a .zip file, and once this .zip file is generated a save prompt should be displayed allowing the user to select the destination. If this is not happening, then something is amiss. If you can provide more information, perhaps I can assist you. Please email me at the support email address provided for the extension.

As I understand it, the extension allows you to export all attachments, but not, for example, all attachments of a single message. At least, after calling the extension from the context menu of a message, it displays that "123456 messages are selected". Mozilla Thunderbird 128.2.0esr (64-bit). Microsoft Windows 10.0.19045.4842.

Before Extract'Em was available, I tried a number of attachment extraction addons. Most of them had serious limitations or did not work with recent versions of Thunderbird. Extract'Em allowed me to extract a large number of attachments from more than 30,000 mails. I encountered a problem with deleted attachments but this was fixed very quickly by the developer.
Many thanks for this particularly useful addon.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1.2).

I was able to backup about 170,000 attachments in over 55,000 emails thanks to Extract Em and clear out space on my email inbox. I had tried the extension called Attachment Saver and that only backs up 600-700 files in one zip so that didn't work for me. Other addons weren't supported by newer Thunderbird versions. So I'm glad this extension works as advertised even for large operations. The dev was fast to respond and to fix an issue with my use case so I'm thankful for that as well! Thanks for making this extension
