    Forgive me if you have seen this topic in comp.mobile.android, but
    nothing suggested there seems to solve my problem.

    When I receive an image on Thunderbird on my mobile, I used to get the
    option to download it to Gallery OR Downloads OR somewhere else.
    For some stupid reason on my part I mistakenly chose Downloads and
    worse still I opted accidentally to make that the default setting i.e.
    ALWAYS.
    Now I cannot save the image to the GALLERY, unless I manually move it
    from the file manager.

    I'm not familiar with Thunderbird for Android. Is it the same as K-9? I
    know that TB bought K-9, or joined, or something.

    In a computer, in Thunderbird settings there is one that defines where
    to save files. I searched for something in K-9, found nothing.

    On the other hand, for me the Gallery is an application, not a location.
    And the Gallery app can find all images no matter where they are saved.
    You may have to configure the app, though.

    I have given up for now. Too much time wasted as most of my emails
    contain attached images.
    Will use Gmail app on phone and stay with Betterbird on desktop.
