        Close down Opera and edit operaprefs.ini in the preferences directory (see "Menu -> Help -> About Opera Mail" for the location).

        Under [User Prefs], add/modify the download directory setting.

        Download Directory=path you want
        

        If that doesn't help, under the [Saved Settings] section (add it if it's not there), add/modify

        Save Dir=path you want

              I'm not sure but I guess you can only add one local folder.

                It's probably an environment variable.
                I would try removing it and using the full path, e.g. D:\Dropbox.
                Not quite sure why you have forward slashes instead of back slashes.
                As leocg says, I would be surprised if you can set two local folders, how would it know which one to use?
                🙂

                  Thanks Dave ........... !!

                  As I want to have multiple options from the " Save as " dropdown as I shown from above pics.

                  Save to Download folder
                  Save as
                  Save to my costume location A.
                  Save to my custom location B.
                  and so on..........

                  I was trying to figure out by adding more than 1 line from the oprefs.ini

                  Edmond.
