[opensuse] Tool to extract/save mail attachments?
Hi! Anyone aware of some tool with which I can go through an entire IMAP folder and save ALL e-mail attachments to files? It's a bit annoying to go to each mail, click attachments and save individually... (On a sidenote, there are about 4000 e-mails, and around 6-10 attachments to each mail...)

What about this extension for Thunderbird? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/556 However, I don't know whether it works with IMAP. Th. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have the same need. What I really want it to have the attachments saved somewhere, and a link to that place put in the message so I can find the attachment. This way I can reasonably keep my e-mail backed up, independent of backing up the much larger attachments. Please post if you find anything. Have you checked procmail? It is a Swiss Army knife in this area. I think it is more powerful than the docs immediately let on. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

I would love to have that, too.

Yes, but you need a filter to do this separation; procmail can only traverse the folder and send each mail to the filter. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Indeed. But perhaps there is a procmail recipe for this. Or something close. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

It may not be the right tool for you... but mailman does something similar. Among other things mailman keeps an archive of messages; in this archive attachments are stored as separate files, emails contain a link to their attachments.
