You may ask, why would I want to use Mail Attachment Downloader? Here are some possible uses...

Using Mail Attachment Downloader and Picasa for photos or videos
With the proliferation of mobile technology (like the iPhone) for uploading/sending media content like photos or videos, many are starting to share their personal videos via email instead of uploading to a public sharing site (for privacy reasons). If you often receive pictures or movies from friends as attachments, you could setup Mail Attachment Downloader to automatically download the content to a folder on your hard drive. Furthermore, if you use photo tools such as Picasa, you can have Picasa scan the folder automatically to show the content without you having to read or download or save the attachments.

Using Mail Attachment Downloader for documents
If you have partners, customers or vendors sending you documents as attachments (or multiple attachments) via mail, you can simply leave Mail Attachment Downloader running in the background. When a mail arrives Mail Attachment Downloader would notify you in the system tray that an attachment arrived via mail and will give you a count of attachments since you last checked. You can then open the folder and open the content that was downloaded automatically without having to go to your mail client. Mail attachment downloader will ensure that files are not overwritten by ensuring that they are prepended with a unique tag by default.

Save specific content to your GMail account for later use
Ever wanted to save a file online and did not know where to save it to? Just email it to yourself with a specific subject. Mail Attachment Downloader will then download the content to a specific folder you specify on your hard drive automatically (based on a schedule you set).
