May I ask the poster to please respond in his other threads to the help
he's been given by many others who have invested their time "helping" him.
Actually, I confused the OP with "croy". My apologies.
Both act similarly, but the OP of this thread did respond (once!) to his recent thread on blood pressure apps while croy has not responded to the radio question where a lot of people invested valuable time to help him.
When these posters post oddball questions and then disappear, I wonder.

Just saving the attached image from an email.
What email app - or browser?
In my email app, K9, I don't see an option to 'save' an
attachment. I can download it (button with d/l icon) and then
select where to. Or I can open it (tap the thumbnail) and I am
offered a range of apps including gallery.

I apologize to the OP for accidentally impugning his activities by
confusing him with "croy", where I "think" Dave Royal is on to a solution.
What I would suggest is to either find the setting of where to put
downloads in the specific MUA the OP is using, or... clear defaults.
1. Settings > Apps > {Gmail, Outlook, Samsung Email, etc.}
2. Tap Set as default (or Open by default depending on phone)
3. Tap Clear defaults (normally this resets the "Always" choice)
Next time an image is saved, the app should ask where to save it.
If that doesn't work then there is also an Android "Downloads" setting.
1. Settings > Apps > Tap the three-dot menu > Show system apps
2. Find Downloads or Download Manager (if it exists)
3. Tap Set as default
4. Clear defaults
If that doesn't work, let us know more details about the setup.
