Related: would this tool let me analyze my gmail for cleanup? That is, identify which senders/domains send me the most email by number or size. Some way to automatically download large attachments and then deletes those. I know there are 3rd party apps that do this, but I don’t like giving access to random 3rd party apps.

I know this isn't exactly what you are looking for, but I run this search once every few months: [has:attachment larger:5M]

That finds everything bigger than 5 megabytes. You can't sort by size, but at least you can find big stuff. If that search has too many results, just keep upping the number until you find the few really big messages.

suggestion by @jedberg would work good for a search based on attachment size

your suggestion on "auto analysis for cleanup" is good, I'll add it to my ToDo list

Thanks. Yes I know that search option, but sometimes 1 mb x 100 is sitting there while I take trouble locating a single 5 mb message.
