In order to diminish the space used by Thunderbird, I'd like to delete the attachments, without deleting the email. How to do this for 50 emails all together? I only found a way to do it one by one, email after email, which takes much time… Thank you!

Thunderbirds add-ons are platform neutral, so of course it works on OSX. You may however have tried to install it in Firefox which tells you bad things about not installing.
