[Tools / options / attachments / save files to] defaults to the desktop, which is the wrong place to save files to. Default behaviour should be to store attachments in the Downloads folder, or in a folder under 'my documents' named "saved email attachments". This should be asked for in the setup wizard. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: [Tools / options / attachments / save files to] Actual Results: desktop folder Expected Results: downloads folder N/A
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
This also applies in Mac OS 10.6. It's a serious problem. The attachment downloads default is the desktop and there is no option to set a different folder.
