Screenshots are redirected to mail app

I am using MacBook Air. Screenshots are getting redirected to mail app. Immediately after a screenshot is taken, it appears in the mail app and it has to be downloaded from mail. Screenshots were saved to desktop till yesterday. I did not make any changes. Can someone please tell me how to get screenshots saved in my desktop?

Good afternoon kalpana66,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


I understand the default location for your screenshots has changed on your MacBook Air. The resource below explains how to change the default location back to a folder on your Desktop. I've highlighted some key information here for you. Click the link for complete details.


Take a screenshot on your Mac

"By default, screenshots save to your desktop with the name ”Screen Shot [date] at [time].png.”

In macOS Mojave or later, you can change the default location of saved screenshots from the Options menu in the Screenshot app."


Take care.
