Gmail – How to find messages in Gmail that have attachments

There's no easy way to fix this.

Here's what I did:

1. Go to Settings...Filters.
2. Click on Create a New Filter.
3. Select Has Attachment.
4. Click on Next Step.
5. Click on Apply the label, and select New Label from the drop-down.
6. Type in the new label in the dialog box that pops up.
7. Click Create Filter, and apply it to all conversations in the inbox.

Here's the downside: Any email with images in it will trigger this because by definition they are attachments.

The good news is it will also get messages where the attachment was further down and not in the most recent thread of the conversation.

I wrote an app called Unattach, which allows you to easily download Gmail attachments in bulk, and optionally remove them.
