Opening and Saving email attachments in WINDOWS 10

Hi Christine,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

I understand you want to change the save location of the downloaded attachments of the Mail App. I suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps to resolve the issue. You can save the file either of two ways:

1. Click the attached file's generic thumbnail icon. When the thumbnail shows a miniature of the attached file, right-click it and choose Save.

2. Right-click the attached file and choose Download form the pop-up menu. When the download completes, the generic thumbnails fill in with photos representing the newly downloaded files. Choose a storage area to receive the
saved file.

File Explorer's Save As window appears, shown here, ready for you to save the file in your
Documents folder. To save

it someplace else, choose any folder listed along the Save

As window's left edge. Or, click the words This PC, also on the window's left edge, and begin browsing to the folder that should receive the file. To save an attached file, right-click it, choose
Save or Download from the pop-up menu, choose a location to save the file, and click the
Save button.

Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

How To Save Open Email Attachments?

I received an e-mail flight itinerary from my airline. When I'm online the itinerary opens as the message body. Nowhere is there a link to an attachment. When I'm offline, the message 'couldn't download...' appears in the message body. What I want to
be able to do is save that itinerary to the phone so I can use it offline, even when it's not listed as an attachment.



Restarting the phone doesn't help. I'll submit a suggestion.
