Is there anything out there right now that handles email attachments like described in this pitch? I would love the ability to see all the attachments ever sent to me, organized by date/sender/filetype. Or clicking on a contact and seeing all attachments I've shared with that person.

I used Zenbe's webmail when it was free and it did just this. Now their site is off and I've learned they have been acquired by Facebook in 2010.

The mail client built into the Opera browser has an Attachments filter which allows you to see all messages by attachment type. After that, you can sort the messages by 'From', 'Subject', 'Size', etc. No thumbnails as in his example, though. As with everything in the Opera mail client, it is all handled through two panes - filtering on the left (Unread, Received, Labels, Attachments, etc.) and the email messages themselves on the right. All email accounts are aggregated together. I've been hugely enamored with its simplicity and elegance for years.

It's built into Outlook 2010. See the attachment tab in the People Pane [1] -- I use it all the time. [1]: https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/introduction-to-the-outlook-social-connector-HA010361857.aspx https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/introduction...

I know that MS Entourage keeps its attachments in a database, though I'm not clear on how it presents them to the user.
