I am unable to extract email attachments using MAPI from the Thunderbird email client. &nbsp;The email appears without attachments &nbsp;ie AttachmentCount is zero. &nbsp;The code works when the email client is Microsoft Outlook. &nbsp;Even if I fudge the counter it still does not find the attachments. &nbsp;Any ideas why it does not work ? &nbsp;<br />

Mozilla Thunderbird - Extracting Attachments from Emails

Thunderbird is an email, newsgroup, news feed, and chat (XMPP, IRC, Twitter) client that supports POP and IMAP and LDAP address completion. The vanilla version is not a personal information manager, although the Mozilla Lightning extension adds PIM functionality. Thunderbird can manage multiple email, newsgroup, and news feed accounts and supports multiple identities within accounts. Features such as quick search, saved search folders, advanced message filtering, message grouping, and labels help manage and find messages. Thunderbird incorporates a Bayesian spam filter, a whitelist based on the included address book, and can also understand classifications by server-based filters such as SpamAssassin. Extensions allow the addition of features.
