Do you ever want to do something so simple that it gets complicated? Apple Mail can be like that sometimes. Here are a few tips for working with attachments in Apple Mail.
Saving attachments in emails sent to you:
- Open Apple Mail
- Click on the email (you can also double-click if you need it to open in a new window)
- Click on the icon of the attachment so it’s highlighted like this:
- Right-click on the highlighted part (you can right-click by holding down the control key plus clicking)
- Select “Save Attachment” to select a folder on your computer to save it to OR select “Save Attachment to Downloads”
- Now you can open your draft or create a new email
- Click the paper clip icon to add your attachment
- Find your file where you saved it and click “Choose File”
- Ready to send the file? Blast off!
NOTES:
If you find yourself adding the wrong file, hold down the Command and Z keys to undo your last step.
If you need to delete the file for any reason, highlight it and press the delete key.
