I can't choose folders or subfolders to download Apple Mail attachments.

Hey there,


Something really weird is happening here.

Trying to download some attachments, I do that a lot, I wasn't able to see all folders and subfolders, even when I knew they were there.

And another issue, downloading an attachment to my Mac, the attachment isn't there if I go to the folder, but I can see it if I open the menu from Apple Mail to download attachments.

On the other hand, the Desktop folder is ok, to download attachments, or in any other Apple Mail's attachment circumstances.

Any help will be welcome.

Best wishes, as always,

What happens if you boot into Safe Mode? Same folder issues?
