Good to know its develpoment is continuing, I would prefer to stay with Thunderbird.
Can a mere mortal like myself make a feature request ? ie the ability to 'BULK' delete attachments, and inline graphics, and is that something that might be looked at ? and where does one start to do that.
I have spent a couple of days editing the MIME code of 1000's of emails to sort out the mess AE caused, AE was writing all sorts of gibberish into some of the re'saved emails, at the top of the code it pasted what looked like partial code or strings of encoded code, then further down you would find the encoded attachments code still there, which required deleting.

Re: Migrating to new Server Host
None of the developers visit the support forums. You can file a bug report at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home , requesting an enhancement. However, realistically it will probably either get ignored or closed as a duplicate. They're only now talking about implementing scheduled send and undo send in the core code (rather than making you use an add-on). That's been requested for decades and has been implemented by numerous webmail implementations and email clients.
I haven't run the IMAPSize utility for years but it claims to support "Delete attachments (all or individual) without downloading them" . https://www.broobles.com/imapsize/imap- ... hments.php
If that isn't reliable enough you might try to see if you can find some script (VBscript, javascript etc.) that you can run against a mbox file that does what you want. You might get stuck with using a Perl script though . See https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... erver-imap for example. There are free perl interpreters for windows. ActiveState's Perl seems to be the standard.
There is a linux utility called metamail that might be able to do what you want for individual messages. See https://superuser.com/questions/1299828 ... tive-input . The cygwin utility supports running numerous Linux programs under Windows but doesn't appear to support that one.

Re: Migrating to new Server Host
Thats all very helpful, I will take some time and look through those links, I need more knowledge on this to know what tools to use that might prove more reliable, I sense I am missing some !.
This post was interesting, Thunderbird for Anroid !

Re: Migrating to new Server Host
IMAPsize still works fine on my Windows 8.1, great tool (copied over new DLL's for SSL), that will work for now, many thanks.
Unsupported, but website suggests he released code back in 2016, I cannot see any further development goin on though.
