Easy acces to downloaded files on Thunderbird

[Nes_xxi]

Hello everyone,

I’m using Thunderbird as my email client and I have a question about how to easily access the downloaded files from an email. Right now, after downloading an attached file, I have to open my file browser and navigate to the specific folder where Thunderbird stores the files. I would like to have a button or a shortcut that can take me directly to the folder where the file is located. Is there any way to do this in Thunderbird? If so, can you please share the steps or point me to some resources that can help me?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

ctrl+J.  Or command+J on a Mac

I feel ashamed, I never thought of that @wsmwk 

Thanks!

Updating this to 'Delivered' as it is already available - check out @wsmwk's post in this thread on how to easily access downloaded files.

Thank you very much @wsmwk. I didn't know this shortcut.

But I think it should be a good idea to create a button.

I'm so used to using the "Show in folder folder" feature in Firefox, I'd love to see this functionality replicated in Thunderbird, either natively or as an extension, without having to remember a keyboard shortcut.
