Hi, In tools | options | attachments it is set to Save files to a specific folder, that was selected via browse.

When I receive an attachment and select save, it does not automatically select this folder but my desktop. Any idea why please?

Hi, Thanks. It was not in Thunderbird and although it looked like it was selected in the folder window, it wasn't actually selected. If that makes sense!
