reinstall older version to handle attachments and then upgrade
I have been using Thunderbird as an email archive on my local system. Now I have several thousand emails with attachments and I need to extract the attachments for another application. Would it make sense to install a pre-V52 copy of TB and then use the Attachment Manager extension to handle the attachments and then upgrade to the current version.

You could try the downgrade/extract/upgrade sequence, but there's another way that works in TB 60 and should work for future versions of the 60 branch. Install FiltaQuilla, which allows the addition of a filter action to Save or Detach attachments, then create a filter that runs manually or automatically on a folder.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. This saved me tens or hundreds of hours. Time I need to spend on indexing all of these images in a database. This should be tagged as copying attachments from multiple emails. There are so many references to the deprecated Attachment Manager and this was simple.
