Running Win XP pro on several PCs.

I need to have Thunderbird automatically place the eMail attachments in
a local folder.

I have never had any kind of problem using FileZilla with Thunderbird.
It just works for me !

My oldest XP pro does this with FileZilla perfectly but the later
Thunderbird version is giving me the bird !

Is there some addon that will place attachments in any folder folder ?

Trying here first since I get no satisfaction at the Tbird newsgroup.

if I have to go to an old Tbird, the so be it !
I must do this task !
Where can I get the one that works with FileZilla ?
Links please.

Thank you !

"Messages are stored as received, verbatim, with attachments *inline*."

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thu...n/filtaquilla/

"Works with Thunderbird 3.0b3pre to Thunderbird 45.* "

[EDIT]
Was really easy to make it work, and work great, with my TB 52.3.

Do the following (this seems like a lot of steps, but I like to do all baby steps):
1. download the XPI
2. rename the .xpi to .zip
3. open it with 7-zip (or whatever you use to open zip files) extract the content to a folder.
4. open file install.rdf
5. change this line "em:maxVersion45.*/em:maxVersion "
to "em:maxVersion55.*/em:maxVersion" (I changed it
to 55 just to be safe for future updates of Thunderbird)
6. save the file install.rdf
7. from within the folder where the files are, select them all
and make a zip with the defaults for "normal" compression.
8. rename the file from .zip to .xpi
9. and lastly follow the very simple instructions from mozilla
on how to install a xpi as an extension
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb...oaded-xpi-file)

So that details how to "hack" the resource info so that it
claims filtaquilla works with later versions.

This might continue to work, until Thunderbird stops using
Firefox 52ESR as its code base.
