HI cool-cool, When you download the attachment, the folder that it downloads to, do you have an application that can open that file type and has access to that download folder?

Depending on the file type, you may need another application to open the attachment. What is the file type?

Hi cool-cool, not a problem. When you say protected, does this mean the os is not allowing apps to read it? It is possible to change the download directory, but the phone may need root access. Weird.

I will mark that as the solution, if this is incorrect please post back and I can undo that.
