Wonderful initiative and very much appreciated - I'm seriously running out of space in Gmail...
After downloading and deleting attachments, I checked it out in Gmail in a browser, which - when checking mails where I've deleted attachments - shows as if the attachments were still there. Clicking on one (deleted) attachment then gives an error (also after refreshing the connection, which only works on the very page).
Does anyone know how long it'll take for Google to update the size of one's Gmail box? This is assuming that Google does verify if attachments are still there...
I tried out the Unattach.com which, after deletion of the few free attachments it allows, gives no erros in Gmail and manages to leave the following useful message in the mail:
---------
Removed attachments:

file-name.xxx (size: 1.5 KB → 0 B)
Information about the change:

Made with: Unattach
Date and time: 2026-01-04T18:08:46.687Z
-----------
UnAttach is in GitHub and supposedly a clever programmer (that wouldn't be me) should be able to check the code and compile a version.
Cheers!

Thanks for your review. With respect to attachment deletion, the extension is very limited in its capabilities. Basically all that it can do is "ask" Thunderbird to delete the attachment on its behalf, and after that the negotiation between Thunderbird and the email store/provider is beyond the extension's jurisdiction. As far as unattach.com is concerned, neither the code nor the methodology could be applied to a TB extension, so what you seem to be requesting is simply not possible.
