What type of file are you having this problem with? What is its extension? Are you using a download manager?

Dear Fred

Thank you for getting back to me so promptly. The answers to your questions are as follows:-

1. The problem is with all file types that I would normally receive as attachments; Word, PDF, Jpg
2. No, I do not use a download manager.

A point to note is that I review incoming emails on our ISP's webmail page. Relevant, business-related attachments are either opened or saved to multiple target folders from the webmail page. The target folders will depend on, among other things, source of the attachments, subject matter etc. I then delete the emails, as indeed I do with Spam emails that make it into the webmail's Inbox. In this way, I am able to limit emails downloaded to my Outlook Inbox to those that are business related or that require a response.

Trust this helps and I look forward to hearing further from you. Kind regards....

Dear Fred

Thank you for your reply and advice. Changing the Downloads settings for each document type under "Applications" did the trick, and I'm a happy Firefox chappie all over again. You, on the other hand, are a star!

All the best and kind regards....
