My Gmail account is starting to get full, so I have been using the new search term larger:1M to find attachments that are larger than 1 Megabyte.I'd like to just delete the attachment without losing the email itself?
Can one delete a Gmail attachment but keep the email?
gmail;gmail attachments
Yes You can access your gmail account as an IMAP account using Email Client such as Thunderbird or MS Outlook and then use Clients feature for deleting attachments. Also you can automatically forward the messages to yourself and remove the attachment with Google's Docs http://techawakening.org/delete-attachments-from-gmail-without-deleting-the-emails/1842/
