I have Thunderbird 115.4.1, installed this addon, tested with two messages selected, then right-click and chose save attachments with the addon option added to the right-click menu, it later says the attachments were saved in the selected folder, but there are no ones there, I tested three or four times with the same result, it simply doesn't work or it saves the attachments somewhere, not in the folder I selected.

Module installed 2023-10-21 in Thunderbird 115.3.3
Module is not fully worky. times to times it removes attachments on a single email. If one ask to remove them from a group of emails either it does it on one email only or does not do anything.
I do not understand how it can work for certain users and not for all.
Serious development has to be done to make sure the ONLY tool that exists to remove attachments from email works .
also no explanation about where the attachment goes in case one chooe "extract". Simple explanation is requested. not all users are development expert and langage has to be adapted.
Over all this this module is a great idea...assuming it works.
Thanks

Do people seriously use an add-on that is meant to manipulate their mailbox without having a proper backup?
Thank you for bringing back this essential tool, Stonehead! I am using the add-on to permanently delete attachments from old e-mails. It would be great not to have duplicates afterward, but another plug-in can take care of these. So, thanks again! My mailbox quota on my business account down to 94% again. ;-)

With SuperNova, it doesn't work when selecting multiple files. Please let me know once it's fixed and i'll change my rate

I have been using this extractor for many years- it was great.
However, when I tried using it today (TB v102.11.1), it saves the attachments, but does not delete them from the email. Is there another setting to restore that beneficial action?
Users found this confusing and a lot of attachments were deleted by accident.
Now, deletion is a separate menu item that you can click.

Attachment Extractor having 7430 users, Such a Popular Extension, But I Request you to remove some time for this great extension available for the Beta & Nightly Version too. This will help Mozilla to Development in Thunderbird More Faster, As without this type of Critical Extension we have to be more depend on the stable & not able to use the Beta or Nightly Version.
Extremely Sorry, If i had any mistake.

20230913 Wow, I was just looking for a program that does just what this does!! No brainer set up and works flawlessly!! Great work Stonehead!!
20230915 This addon WAS Working great then I upgraded to Thunderbird SuperNova and now It doesn't work when selecting multiple files! Sure hope this gets fixed ASAP! I was going to donate but will wait and see if this gets fixed.

Simple, straighforward. Also, browsed the code and it seems safe. So thanks to The Stonehead for the plugin!

This is a time saver-and-a-half. My assistant is out for maternity leave and being able to grab up all our invoices at once frees up half an hour at the least. That may not seem like much, but when you work 60+ hours per week, every minute is precious!
Being able to save them with several name options is helpful. I preface them with "Inv_"%date%_%time% to keep them grouped together, but also indexed so nothing overwrites or gets skipped.
I see that folks gave it low ratings because of a hiccup the other week. All I did was hop over to GitHub to let the dev know and voila! It was fixed within a day. And it's free. No complaints here, only accolades and appreciation!

Thunderbird version 102.13.0 (64-bit).
Does not work at all. Right click. Choose the Extract attachments. Nothing happens.
Console says:
messenger is not defined implementation.js:8
A new version with a fix should be online today.

Ce module me fait gagner un temps monstre pour archiver les pièces jointes que je reçois par courriel... jusqu'à la mise à jour d'hier où le module ne fonctionne plus depuis l'apparition des 2 lignes de menu. J'espère qu'il sera vite remise sur pied !
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.6).Quelle est la version de votre Thunderbird?

Absolutely the worst, DO NOT USE. Deleted all the attachments on my emails and didn't even successfully download them. Now they are GONE. I didn't even realize this would be a possible outcome of using this terrible attachment.

Even if the messages are duplicated in Thunderbird after extraction of their attachments, this is still a very useful and time saving tool.
Thanks

Hasn't been updated for ~half a year, currently duplicates emails when trying to delete attachments requiring the user to manually delete emails 1 by 1. Manually deleting content 1 email by 1 email is the task I was trying to avoid!

Messes up your inbox by duplicating and possibly deleting attachments. DO NOT USE in production environment!

I really enjoyed this extension. However, sometime not too long ago, Thunderbird incorporated the ability to both Detach and Delete attachments natively, right-clicking on them and following through. The additional customization this allows may help some.

It seems this addon was written for 102.5.1 exactly. I just went from 102.9.1 to 102.5.1 just to see if this works and it works perfectly on 102.5.1. I like this addon so much that now I stay at 102.5.1

It doesn't always do what it's supposed to do, though it's close enough to be hazardous.
First, when extracting attachments it creates a duplicate of the email with the attachments present. No big deal, simply delete the duplicate, right?
Second, it doesn't always save the files to the folder as instructed. Sometimes it deletes the attachment from the email without saving.
I'm not sure if this is Thunderbird's fault for loading slowly, or if I tried to do too many emails at once or what, but it's a fatal error in a plugin that almost works. Otherwise it's very close to being perfect, and it's still the only way I've found to take large attachments off of old emails.

Fonctionne très bien avec TB version 102.8.0. Je n'avais jamais essayé cette extension avant. Merci The_stonehead !
Si on pouvait faire un lien avec des filtres, ce serait génial!
If we could use it with filter it could be essential in TB... Thank!
