## Description

Mail Attachment Lens gives you an attachment-first view of your Gmail mailbox. Instead of opening messages one by one, search your mailbox and see matching files grouped by email.

Use straightforward filters for mailbox or label, sender, subject, date, and attachment type. Order results by date, filename, size, or sender.

Features:
<ul><li>Find PDFs, images, Word and text files, spreadsheets, presentations, and archives</li><li>Download attachments directly</li><li>Open the source email in Gmail</li><li>Select one or several source emails and move them to Gmail Trash</li><li>Restore selected emails with Undo</li><li>No application backend</li></ul>
Mailbox data is processed between the extension and Google’s Gmail API. It is not sent to an application server. Search state, settings, and temporary Trash history are stored locally in Firefox.
