Windows Central Question

I do not want to go through multiple steps to save email attachments. I used to be able to down load to my desk top and read it. Now I have to options Down load as a Zip or save to OneDrive or Read on View on line. I wan to read and save directly. Then choose whether to save to one drive.

Sounds like you have a download option then (albeit .zip).

I think this is something service side from your email provider.

For instance: In my email if there are attachments I get a general "download all as zip" or I can click individual files and just download without compression. It is the same for pictures, videos, Word, etc. Only folders should require compression.

Outlook.com is what I used to check, BTW.

If you are in the default mail/calendar program, you can right-click on the file and click save, which brings up the familiar explorer window, letting you choose where to save your file to. If you don't see this, check to see you are up to date with updates, as Microsoft released updates to this program a few days ago.
