I am ditching gmail. I've done Google Takeout, include gmail. And received an .mbox file.

After adding the extension ImportExport NG. I imported the .mbox file for all mail include spam and trash.

After the import, the only attachments available are the ics files. For example, people that have emailed me PDF or word documents - those files are nowhere to be found.

How do I access them? Or is this feature not available in Thunderbird?

Disregard the message above.

I deleted the folder. And re-uploaded it. Using the same extension. And for some reason, the attachments appeared.
