New TB user here. I sent myself some pictures from my phone, 5 or 6. I have the email on my laptop, but the images are firstly huge and go way off the screen, secondly I can't find a way to easily save them all at once. I have to scroll and right click each one and save as. Weirdly when I right cilck there's an option to "select all", great! so I chose that to select all, then right clicked and saved again. It didn't save all, just the one I clicked on?! I'm sure there must be a better way to save all attachments/images, hopefully someone can advise thanks

You should see the attachments at the bottom of the message as in the attached picture. If not, it might be because instead of attaching the images on the phone, they are added as embedded images. First, try sending yourself an attachment with TB, and if it displays correctly, try adding an image as an attachment with your phone app, not just 'adding an image' as embedded.

Thanks. I couldn't view your image but I do now see the "Save all" option hiding down there!
