Are you sure?
They should, and they do here!

They will be saved with the rest, so they might be in you download folder?

Yes, I am sure. I downloaded 10 files but only complete files were saved.
I tried once again but the same outcome.

Just uncheck question mark. UE canĀ“t save and download att the same time.
The question mark means that UE (client) is waiting until the post will be complete on server or have communication problems with server(s).
When you ancheck it allow you to save.

actually it is not stated right.

if you see question sign you also can save attachments, since question sign means error, the program is not downloading at the same time (it is why in the article error pane in the context menu there is the option "save attachments").

so if it doesn't save anything it means there is nothing to save, e.g. if you clear the quiestion sign and you see no bodies (no half green notepad icon but just clear green square which means no bodies at all) there is nothing to save.

also saving doesn't clear errors (so e.g. you can save what you have but you can still retry it later).
