is there a download manager that i can use to manage my downloads of GMAIL attachments? i want to queue up my downloads in such a way that i can simply leave it running in the background (and possibly resume downloads too, if connection is lost).

anybody with relevant experience in this respect, and who can recommend a download manager which will work? i don't want to download all kinds of download managers out there to test it one by one, so your experience in this regard is highly appreciated. thanks in advance!

This should help you server in downloading email attachments and stuff, just make sure you have thunderbird set up to you gmail account in order to use this. The description closes matches what your looking for to an extent on managing your email attachments and stuff/

Well after finding out that you don't pop3 your email account I did some more searching and I found this attachment manager tool, you might have to do tweaking and setting stuff up but this would be the closes thing to non op method I mentioned earlier.

will try your second solution, SM... (thunderbird will just flood my drive with pop3 emails+attachments, which is not part of my routine anymore after i switched a long ago to gmail -- where they reside permanently from thenon). thanks!

any more alternatives still welcome.

update: no joy using Gmail Drive shell extension to help manage my gmail attachment downloads... by the looks of it, i would have to resend the emails with attachments to myself, and appending the GMAILFS: in everything. too much work, and i have a 2398 MB worth of emails with attachments. uploading is no problem on the other hand, and it will be useful for making an online archive of files i want to be readily available by simply accessing gmail.
