shekala 58 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I just tried using the gmail extension and it did not save the attachment associated with the email. Is this a bug or does the extension simply not save attachments? When I forward the email to evernote, the extensions do appear, so assuming it should work for the extension as well. Also, I remember there was a time when it prompted to include the entire thread or just the latest email in the thread, but don't see it now. Is that a feature that no longer exists or am I missing something? Thanks Link to comment
Paul A. 677 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 My recollection is that the Gmail extension has always been pretty limited, but the web clipper (which is a browser extension) allows for selecting which email(s) in a Gmail thread to save. The web clipper also saves attachments, but it has the very irritating limitation of saving the attachment in such a way that it can not be viewed in-line, and in fact can not be opened without downloading it first.

Evernote Expert agsteele 3,060 Posted March 7, 2022 Evernote Expert Share Posted March 7, 2022 By way of a quick test I just sent myself an Email to my Gmail account with a Word document attached. I used the Gmail extension and the Email arrived inside an Evernote note with the document attached. I was able to open the attachment from within the Windows desktop application and also from within the Evernote web browser interface. For clarity I am running: Windows 11 Evernote for Windows desktop: 10.32.4 Evernote for web browser: 10.32.4 Gmail Evernote extension: last updated 22 December 2021 Firefox: 97.0.2 That's all to say that the issue may be more complicated than a faulty Gmail extension.

Level 5* gazumped 12,072 Posted March 7, 2022 Level 5* Share Posted March 7, 2022 Gmail extensions also working for me - I believe there's an option to include attachments. Maybe remove the extension and re-apply it? Link to comment
