Attachment Saver - Save Mail.app Attachments

**Kyle Matthews** · 08-10-2009, 10:19 PM

Ever been frustrated by the iPhone Mail app's inability to view attachments of certain types? Ever been found yourself needing to save an attachment to disk somewhere so you could use it outside Mail.app? AttachmentSaver to the rescue.

AttachmenSaver is a nifty little extension to the iPhone's Mail app that allows you to save attachments so you can access and view them using your favorite file manager (iFile recommended). It unlocks the ability to download *all* attachments of any type, whether supported by Mail or not, and save them into a folder on disk. For those emails with multiple attachments, it even conveniently provides the option to save all attachments in that particular email, accessible via the action menu in the toolbar (the one that usually contains the Reply/Forward buttons).

It's in the Cydia store now at $1.99, a decent buy. Pick it up!

Bought this awhile ago and it works as advertised.

**xwinger** · 08-10-2009, 10:21 PM

Yay finally!

**StealthBravo** · 08-10-2009, 10:23 PM

I hope these paid apps keep coming!

**Raptors** · 08-10-2009, 10:23 PM

Yep works great! Luv it

**xwinger** · 08-10-2009, 10:24 PM

Me too!

Great. Another mod I can't get because it's in the Cydia store. Guess I'll have to wait for it to be cracked to download it and then find a way to donate $2 to the dev.

^ and why can't you buy the app through paypal system?
All you need is a bank account to get a paypal acct.

I agree! I just bought Attachment Saver tonight and have about five or six other paid Cydia apps that are fantastic add-ons to my 3GS.

I don't think we would have seen this many great add-ons if there wasn't the cydia store. I am excited to see what will come out over the next few weeks

Will this allow to save videos received?

**StealthBravo** · 08-10-2009, 11:21 PM

^ any attachment

**iN2K** · 08-10-2009, 11:37 PM

Does it save into Docs app?

**exciter00000** · 08-10-2009, 11:52 PM

When you use it with iFile (as well available in Cydia) you can directly jump to the folder it has been saved to or even open it with iFile e.g. it has a file extension not naturally supported by your iphone.

Absolutely great!

edit: it´s /var/mobile/Library/Attachments/

From Cydia I've purchased:

mQuickDo
Attachment Saver
iElegance PRO
iFile
Inspell
PkgBackup
Safari Download Manager
YourTube
3Gunrestrictor

These apps make my 3GS feel almost complete, especially the ones in bold!

Oh I think I am going to try this one out

anyone know I sometimes get my cousin sending me a file that is in .wmv video if I save it and open it in iFile would it work or no?

**and1gator** · 08-11-2009, 12:26 AM

This thing works like a charm. This is the cool
work around to
actually edit email attachments (Word, Excel, etc.) directly on the phone without having to purchase QuickOffice Exchange version.

I don't have Microsoft Exchange email.
Once you save the file via AttachmentSaver find the file in iFile and then copy it to the Local Files folder of QuickOffice ( /var/mobile/Applications/LONG
STRING*OF*NUMBERS*& LETTERS OF*WHATEVER*FOLDER*HAS*QUICKOFFICE/Documents). Once the attachment is there you open QuickOffice and edit then email out.

Look out Blackberry! LOL.

Well if paid apps like these keep coming, most kids like us won't be able to afford the add ons and were too young to have credit cards and I can't see my mum or dad letting me use their credit card.

I probably won't resort the other way to obtain the add on
