Download Mail attachments to the Downloads folder
11 Nov 2009
Mail.app on the Mac by default stores downloads at ~/Library/Mail Downloads when you double click on an attachment. I’d prefer to have them stored in my downloads folder at ~/Downloads. Running this script in the terminal accomplishes the task:
mV Library/Mail\ Downloads/* Downloads/;
mv Library/Mail\ Downloads/.* Downloads/;
cd Library;
rmdir Mail\ Downloads;
ln -s ../Downloads Mail\ Downloads
