To see the incoming mail attachment it must be saved on the hard disk. After a while there are plenty of files in this folder. How to automatically clean this folder? Thank you.

I'm certain there are possibilities to do that with Mac OS (e.g. a cron job), but it's nothing you can do from within Thunderbird.

You could set up a filter to automatically detach attachments. Install FiltaQuilla before setting up the filter.
