Recommend. Simple add-on. Configurable and works as expected. Great support and responsiveness from the developer on Github!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4.5).

Extract 'Em! does not remove the attachment by default. However, the option is available (Permanently Detach) after the fact. Currently the Permanently Detach feature does not work with IMAP accounts, a problem which is beyond my control; I am consulting with the Thunderbird API team regarding the issue.

Good but lacks function to extract only 'unread' mail attachments in the specified folder, and lacks ability to plugin to message filters. It would be perfect if I could have a filter to automatically extract pdf's from folders of only unread mails.

Versions of Extract 'Em! prior to 1.5.1 deferred to the Thunderbird settings for FIle and Attachment handling (always prompt or use a specified directory); I suspect that your setting was for the latter. With 1.5.1, an Extract 'Em! option has been added allowing you to select whether you want to be prompted to select a directory, or always use the one indicated by the respective Thunderbird setting.

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.

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
