How to clear mail downloads on mac

Clearing mail downloads on a Mac can be done in a few ways, depending on the email client you're using. Here are the steps for some popular email clients:

Mail (built-in Mail app)

1. Open the Mail app on your Mac.
2. Click on "Mail" in the top menu bar and select "Preferences" (or press Command + comma).
3. Click on the "General" tab.
4. Scroll down to the "Download" section.
5. Click on the "Remove Downloaded Attachments" button.

Microsoft Outlook

1. Open Outlook on your Mac.
2. Click on "Tools" in the top menu bar and select "Options" (or press Command + comma).
3. Click on the "General" tab.
4. Scroll down to the "Attachment" section.
5. Click on the "Remove downloaded attachments" button.

Apple Mail (older versions)

1. Open Apple Mail on your Mac.
2. Click on "Mail" in the top menu bar and select "Preferences" (or press Command + comma).
3. Click on the "General" tab.
4. Scroll down to the "Download" section.

Other email clients

If you're using a different email client, such as Mozilla Thunderbird or Entourage, you may need to check the client's settings or preferences to find the option to clear downloaded attachments.

Additional tips

• If you want to clear all downloaded attachments at once, you can also use the "Clean Up" feature in the Mail app. To do this, go to "Mail" > "Preferences" > "General" > "Clean Up" and select "Remove downloaded attachments".
• If you're using a cloud-based email service like Gmail or Outlook.com, you may need to log in to your account online to clear downloaded attachments.
• Clearing downloaded attachments will remove them from your email client, but it won't delete them from your computer. If you want to delete the attachments from your computer, you'll need to do that separately.
