Attachment facts
Mail apps bury files inside messages and give no way to save them all at once. This tool collects attachments from files, clients and accounts, then writes them to a new folder in the original format.

Why Teams Need an Email Attachment Extractor
Saving files from messages one at a time wastes hours, and a backup of the full mailbox holds far more than needed. A batch run goes through every folder and returns the files alone.
Core features
Install, add a source, select a mode and extract.
Install
Run the setup file and launch the Email Attachment Extractor on Windows. The window waits for a file, a client or an account.
Folder selection
Select an email file, a desktop client or a webmail account. For an account, click Open and enter the email address, password, incoming address and port number.
Message preview
Three modes cover one file, bulk folders or a configured account. Folder tick boxes start ticked, and unticking skips the folders that are not needed.
Selective backup
Filters cut the run down to the messages that count, so the output folder holds wanted files only.
Output options
Press Extract Attachments and set the destination. Files land in a new folder with the mail folder layout.
Before the run
Three short checks give clean output.
Source data
Check the Mail Source
Find the data file or the client already set up. Server accounts need an address, a password, an incoming address and a port number.
Search scope
Folders or filters
Leave every folder ticked for a full sweep, or use Has attachment, file name and size filters for a short list.
Output
Choose a destination
A new folder on the PC holds the files. Two files with one name stay safe because the second becomes File(1).
Other mail apps are covered in Extract attachments from Windows Live Mail and View hidden attachments in Outlook.

I use desktop email client i.e. Thunderbird. I wanted to fetch the attachments from all the emails with attachments in one go. So, I had searched for the manual method but it was not feasible due to lengthy method. I fortunately found the tool which not only eased my work but also helped me to extract the attachments from the emails and save them in the local PC in a lesser time.
The best feature is the filter search by date. Taking the backup of all emails is just wasting of time if we want only selected emails. My purpose was to get the filtered emails so that I can extract the attachments from them. With the option filter by date, I was able to refine my search and get desired results. Therefore, by using this tool I could take a breath of sigh.
Amongst the huge number of emails, I wanted to search the emails with specific sender and receiver name. So that I can extract the attachments from them. I had tried doing it manually but it could not give me the desired results. So, considering the paucity of time, I searched for automated tool and luckily found Corbett software which solved my problem without taking much time.
