I have the Save Files set to D:/mail on the HD. They are not saved there.

In Tools - Attachments - Incoming, I have the Save files to set to d:\mail on the computer's HD. I selected that using the Browse process, then I clicked OK. This selection always shows up when I open this dialog box. However, the files are never saved to that location. How do I solve this problem?

If you open an attachment the copy you open is saved to the location specified. That is all.

Now what are you really trying to achieve, given Thunderbird does not store attachments in a separate file to the email it came in.
