By default, the Mail app in OS X saves your email attachments to the Downloads folder, which means they will be stored along with other files downloaded from the internet (e.g., video files or archive files downloaded using Chrome or FireFox). In most cases, this is not a good idea because you may accidentally delete important email attachments when you clean up the hard drive. Furthermore, because the files are not organized, finding what you want will take longer. Luckily, you are not stuck with the default setting. Continue reading to find out how to change Mail’s default download folder so that you can better manage your files.

Before you start, create a new folder (e.g., Email Attachments) for storing the files. We will use this folder later in the tutorial. The location of the folder does not really matter as long as it is easy for you to find.
