Save disk space by deleting copies of Mail attachments
Authored by: bluesmanyo on Nov 13, '13 09:08:44AM

Hello,
I had the same issue about having large amount of attachments in Mail, so I've done a little script to save attachments file into an external drive or directory, and also delete all attachments files gracefully
If IMAP, nor just 'find', is not enough for your case, maybe the script could be useful:

https://github.com/blues-man/mail-attachments-util

chmod 755 mail_util.sh
# Recover all attachments, organized by accounts and Folders, putting them on an external drive set explicitly in the script
./mail_util.sh
# Delete all attachments asking for each account
./mail_util.sh --delete
# Delete all attachments asking for each file per account
./mail_util.sh --delete --ask

Bye
