Ability to remove/delete attachments
Attachments are not always worth keeping, so please add ability to delete selected attachments as an alternative to simply downloading them.

I would be able to keep the email messages without the attachments as I feel being able to delete attachments is necessary, for multiple reasons. Security of files, space requirements, etc ProtonMail is an excellent service, but I surprised that it lacked this basic feature found on most other email services.

I think this is actually more of a security feature than a storage issue. The fewer places I have personal or sensitive data stored the better. And received emails can contain sensitive information that we may want to store somewhere else and remove from emails.

Yes, please allow deleting attachments but keeping the message.

Would also be nice to delete an inline or file attachment before sending an email.
Thanks!

Very important to be able to delete attachments on any service that charges for data storage

Please we need this feature especially given Proton's space is much less than Gmail and other providers

Luc Le Blanc commented
Please add this feature. Be smarter than Gmail, that doesn't offer it in order to raise the amount of storage needed to keep e-mails.

This feature should be mandatory !
We often have mails with important content with attachments that we can download (or not) and then we would like to delete from the mail.
And if I use Protonmail it's because I don't want to use Thunderbird or Outlook under windows (security issue)! -

Il serait formidable de pouvoir sélectionner tout ou partie des pièces jointes d'un mail afin de les supprimer sans pour autant supprimer le mail (dont on peut souhaiter conserver le contenu texte). Je pense à tous ceux qui n'aiment pas utiliser Thunderbird ou Outlook qui proposent, je crois, cette fonctionnalité.
It would be great to be able to select all or part of the attachments of an email in order to delete them without deleting the email (of which you may want to keep the text content). I think of all those who don't like to use Thunderbird or Outlook which offer, I believe, this functionality.

Dear Proton Team, if you prefer, make this an option for paying accounts and not for free accounts, but please do it ! All together, there are at least 550 votes for it !

Now I understand why this feature is not available: without a way to delete attachments you are forced to either delete the entire email message or upgrade to a paid account. With an attachment delete function you could conceivably keep a "free" account alive for many years, if not decades.

Hello,
It is currently impossible to remove attachements in emails. Especially, when archived, I would like to remove some attachments from my emails such as signatures or banners.
Would it be possible to implement this feature in a future version? I know that it is still possible to transfer the email and then remove the attachments there but it's not the most convenient way.
Let's go agile ^^
As a user of Protonmail when I click on the "archive" button, I want to have a pop-up that allows me to delete some attachments from the email prior to archiving it. To not clutter the "archived" folder and inbox storage space with unecessary attachments.
Thanks :)

This feature has to be a significant storage requirement saver for Protonmail.
No?
