Compress attachments automatically for GMail
Thunderbird Only
I love thunderbird for the simplicity and support for Add-ons that natively comes with Mozilla base platform. I have configured Gmail in my Thunderbird client and I am already enjoying the desktop experience of Gmail. I will write my Thunderbird experiences and Tips in another post.
Sending large attachments is a pain with Gmail (we must agree on this fact). Compressing large files before attaching is a good idea. But how do you do that smart way? Compress and Save it to local disk and then attach? Nah..
Download and Install a cool plugin called “AutoZip Attachments” for Thunderbird.
AutoZip creates a menu as shown in the picture when you compose any email. With a fair amount of options given over there you can figure out the best way to send your attachment in compressed format.
You can automate the same process using the “Zip Automatically when sending” option as well.
I found it very useful and a big saving tool for my internet bandwidth.
