    Default Email attachments file path?

    Hi, on my IP4 I opened a email with a video attachment, and it DLed the 10mb video then I played it.
    I noticed when I open that email again there is no DL process so the file must have been saved in a temp folder or somewhere.

    Does anyone know the path or where these attachments are saved??

    Thx.

    ^No ... but you could poke around in /private/var/mobile/Library/Mail. Might get lucky. Don't change anything!

    It seemed like I found the path and I deleted the videos, but when I opened the email up again and played the video it played right away :/

    Who knows, maybe the mail program is 're-downloading' the file. If I really wanted the file, I would open a separate SSH window and do a 'find' search for all large (10+ MB) files. (hahah). Crude but effective.

    I doubt it when I DLed the 10mb video it took like 20secs and now it opens in less than a second.
    I guess I could do the SSH method but ugghh it's a hassle.

    Just amazes me how lacking IP4 is, such simple things they left out UGHH!
    Imagine I opened multiple emails with videos totaling 20gb the regular user would have no way of deleting these to free up memory???

    WTF I say...
