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!

It does just what it says, but it needs some polishing. Final window is a bit confusing with "Cancel" as a option.

Seems to work with v.102.8.0 but there is much less options than in previous versions, in particular the ways to name the attachment (date format, #from# disappeared...).
Are you putting it back ?
So useful this Add-on

Le module n'est malheureusement plus compatible avec les dernières version de thunderbird.
C'est pourtant un outil utile pour alléger le stockage

Good Add-on. Suggestion - Please add new feature to this extractor - Extract Attachment on running filters on incoming emails.
If you get an email with attachment - you can specify on filters - then the attachment will be stored into your selected folder automatically.
