Perhaps you need something other than email to get these files. If these
are from students, for example, you might use a Learning Management System (such as Moodle), an e-portfolio system (Mahara), or version control system (Git). You get an email alert with a link taking you to the file (s) stored in the system.

I use Fastmail.com to spam and virus check my mail, then filter it into
folders, before it gets to Thunderbird. The mail is stored on the server, with a copy on my laptop.

Also, I use some plug-ins for Thunderbird to make it easier to use:

* "Lightening" works with Microsfot Calendaring
* "LookOut" reads TNEF encoded files from Microsoft mail
