Download all Attachments of selected Emails

[albsch]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be nice if I could download all attachments of multiple emails at once.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Select emails you want to download the attachments for

• Click Download attachments as zip under Forward as attachments

Describe alternatives you've considered

I can't think of a good way to download many selected attachments at once.

I understand what you want, but the problem is: define "attachment"

Basically there is:

1. Content-Disposition: inline attachments shown in HTML, like images
2. Content-Disposition: attachment real attachments NOT shown in HTML

When you view a single message you know which is which.
In a list of subjects you have no idea.

I like Content-Disposition: attachment only and mostly it is not a problem, except...

People send you pictures about work/design/party/etc. and you want to store them all in a zip.
The zip might not have all images because some have send the images inline.

To prevent confusion both should be zipped and this differs from single view.

So i think this should be discussed a little more.

Personally, I would not want to download anything related to inline HTML things and don't see them as attachments.

For a starter could we just have a way to download all the attachments attached (not inline, attached) to a specific email?

Like, somewhere here I should see a button or link which allows me to download all of these attached pictures at once so I don't have to do them all individually:

There doesn't seem to be able way to do this at present.

@jdaviescoates sorry for the late response.
On the bottom right of your image is a cog wheel.
Click and you get download options.
