How do I make the Desktop the default place to save email attachments? The current default in Lion seems to be the Mail Downloads folder.
You can easily change your default save location for attachments in Mac OS X Mail by first heading to Mail > Preferences > General. Once on the General tab, click the pop-up menu next to “Downloads folder” and click Choose option. Navigate to your preferred location and click Choose.
Hidden in the General Mail preferences is a “Downloads folder” chooser.
To save messages directly from Mail, click the Save button in the upper-right corner of the email message. All your attachments will automatically be saved to your default location.
