I came up with this requirement recently where I had to download more than 1000 attachments from a Gmail Account across multiple emails. I was hoping there would be some script to achieve this.
I stumbled upon this fantastic tool and I got my task done in just few minutes
Mail Attachment Downloader from GearMe
This tool is free for Personal and non-commercial use
The software is pretty much self-explanatory. The best part is the option to filter through the mails to ensure only the required attachments are downloaded
- Enter your Email Address / Password
- Define the Save Location for the downloaded attachments
- Use the Folder/Files , Basic and Advanced Filters to customize your requirement
- Once all requirements are defined click Connect and Download
- Sit back and relax till the downloading is done
