# Download the attachments from an email — Mail IMAP

Botize method — `btzimap.download_attachment` (action).

Downloads the attachments from an email in your IMAP inbox.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `mail_uid` *(string)* — Email ID

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{attachments_count}}` *(int)* — Attachments count
- `{{attachments}}` *(array)* — Attachments
- `{{attachments.0.content_type}}` *(text)* — 1st Attachment Content Type
- `{{attachments.0.name}}` *(text)* — 1st Attachment Name
- `{{attachments.0.size}}` *(int)* — 1st Attachment Size
