Delete attachments only

Hi,
is there a way to delete only the attachments from a message?
I'm running up against my storage limit purely because of attachments in emails where I have downloaded the file, but still want the message text itself.

Welcome to the forums snowmole. You can't do this currently but see this thread.

Slight clarification, you can't do this on the main server. You can do this on the beta server:

Open the messaege, at the bottom of the message, the attachments are listed and you can manually select which ones to delete.

Wow! After 5 years this is finally implemented!!!!!

Lets put it on main servers! For sure it's not a so-speacial-feature to live in beta servers for too much time....

Anyone can use the beta server, so it's not limiting those who read the forums. Fastmail is moving to a complete redesigned user interface soon. This feature is included on the new interface. You have a choice to to the following:
  • Download selected attachments in a zip file.
  • Remove selected files.
  • Save selected attachments to your Fastmail file storage area.
The new interface isn't ready to release yet, but it shouldn't be too much longer before it moves to beta testing. There is another thread with more details, and the new interface is in alpha testing now.
