Clicking the small download symbol next to images in emails seems to download them, but to an unknown location. They do not appear in Downloads or Photos; I discontinued iCloud. Trying to download a second time brings up a message about duplicating the image, so it's placed somewhere; searching for the image name comes up empty. Drag-and-drop remains the effective means. Any insights?

You might have changed the Downloads folder in your Mail app settings. Email attachments are saved in the Downloads folder by default. To specify a different location, choose Mail > Settings, click General, then select a folder.
See View, save, or delete email attachments in Mail on Mac - Apple Support for more information. Good luck!

Thanks! Although that wasn't the problem. More of a dumb question. I hadn't noted it's a feature of images in Messages; I found when right-clicked it says "Show Times"; clicking it gets a checkmark that disappears and nothing seems to happen unless you notice arrival times show up on the far right. I guess the download symbol does not mean download the image at all, it means time it was downloaded to Messages? Odd.
