Saving attachment data like pictures, word-processing documents, installers, and programs sent to you as an attachment in your Yahoo! Mail is easy.

Once you received an email with attachment, you can easily download the file attached.

Clicking the file attachment you’d like to download will enable the virus scanning first.  Yahoo! Mail uses the security scanner of Norton Antivirus to verify if the attachments you are downloading are virus-free.

If no threats found on the file attachment, Yahoo! Mail will let you download the file.

You can save the file to any location on your specified drive.  After saving the file, you can now open and accessed the file.  If you click OPEN on the dialog box, the file is not saved on your specified location.

Instead, it is saved on the temporary internet files folder.  You have to manually save the file to store it on the location you want.
