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.

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.
