Proposal

The ability to globally browse all attachments in the Roundcube email inbox, with the option to download, manually delete, or globally delete them to free up space in the mailbox. Currently, each message has to be reviewed individually to delete large attachments in order to free up some space.

Motivation and context

This change is needed to improve the efficiency of managing email storage in Roundcube. Currently, users must manually open each email and search for large attachments to delete them, which is time-consuming and inefficient, especially for those with a high volume of emails. By enabling global browsing and management of attachments, users can quickly identify and delete unnecessary files, freeing up space in their mailbox without the need to sift through individual messages. This feature would help solve storage issues, prevent inbox overflow, and enhance overall email organization.

You can sort the list by size and Ctrl/Shift click to delete. So, it's not that hard. So, I think the reasoning needs to be better.

It will not be easy to implement this with good performance.

I think that would be a really nice feature, but I also agree that it's not easy to do. It will take a considerable amount of work time, which we as a maintainer team probably won't be able to spend.

@eveneme Are you maybe able and interested in building that feature yourself?

@pabzm I would love to help, but unfortunately, I'm not a developer, I'm a UI/UX designer.
