If I have an email with say six attachments. I can select the "Save All" option from the bottom right of the message. Select a folder and all goes well.

However, if during the "Save All" one of the files already exists in the destination folder you get the "Already exists. Do you want to replace it?" and OK or CANCEL as options. Now the problem. If I want to not replace this file I have to choose CANCEL. It then asks me in a different window named 'Save Attachment' if I want to save it once again ? If I choose CANCEL again then that is it. It never saves the other five attachments nor asks me again, nor tells me it has not saved them. Awful.

Surely more logical would be SAVE or SKIP so I can choose to not overwrite existing files but still get the new ones.

Is there a way - other than saving one by one - that you can save a bunch of attachments and not overwrite existing files. A common wish for me.

Thanks
