Q: Export to Photo from email (Mail) not working
Recently upgraded to El Capitan on my Late 2009 Mac.
I've worked through most conversion issues from iPhoto to Photo.
One issue i am having is on photos emailed to me, the prompt in Mail to "Export to Photos" doesn't do anything. I select that yet the photo does not show up in Photo, nor can i find it anywhere else using Finder.
Any ideas on how i can resolve this so i can add emailed photos to Photo?
Thanks!

Is your current Photos Library the System Photo Library?
Check the Photos > Preferences > General: Is "Use as System Photo Library" greyed out to show it is enabled, as it should be?
If not, enable it and restart the Mac.
Where is your Photos Library? Is it on your system drive or an external drive?
Also, have a look at this support document:
