Downloading an attachment

Every attachment has a Download button — in the row in the left rail, and again in the preview header on the right. Either one saves the file to your downloads folder.

What you'll see

The button shows clear feedback as it works, so you don't have to wonder whether your click registered:

• Download — the default state

• Downloading… — while the file is being fetched, with a spinner

• Downloaded — for a moment after a successful save, with a green tick

If a download fails for any reason, the button shows Try again with a red alert icon. Click it to retry.

Filenames

Files keep their original filename. If two attachments in the same email happen to share a filename, your browser will deduplicate (typically by appending (1), (2) etc.).

Files larger than 50 MB

Attachments larger than 50 MB aren't available to download — you'll see a Too large badge next to them with no download button. If you need a file that's been flagged as too large, ask the sender to share it through a transfer service (WeTransfer, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.).

Inline images

The small images embedded inside an email body (signature logos, screenshots) are downloadable too — open the Inline images expander below the main attachment list and use the Download button on the row.
