    When i click on an attachment now or a photo, instead of it opening it required me to save it first in windows and I don't want to do that. I want to OPEN it and then save it as I choose. It used to do that. I would click on the photo, once opened, and then choose save as. Now save as comes first.And the window that opens with the files and locations IS ENORMOUS and takes up the entire screen. It used to be on the left hand upper side in a normal box. The window CANNOT be resized. There is nowhere to do that and even if I wanted to there is no minimize bar and the double headed arrow will not

    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.

  3. 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.

    Windows 10 mail image attachments cant "save as"

    Hi Brambly,

    As you are facing issue with the Windows 10 mail image attachments.

    We have figured out and recognized that, you will not find option to
    Save, print or move
    except the Copy option available for the Windows 10 mail image attachments.

    Hence I suggest you to provide the feedback as this is by latest design;

    Step on how to provide feedback

    • Open the image you want to copy or save.
    • Click on Settings.
    • Right hand side select the feedback option and provide feedback for the same.
    If you need further assistance, please do let us know and we would be happy to help you further.

    Thank You.
