Review for Attachment Extractor by Jambox
Rated 2 out of 5 stars
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.
