Under process managment, you could specify the email attachments folder

When that "right direction" is about receiving an email to start a process, and then do some automated steps, then yes, this is the way to do it.

Sure, but to repeat myself, once that process is started, your attachments are already stored.

Appian will store the attachments as the process is started. The only thing you might have to do, is to delete them later in case you do not want to process that email.

There is no "documentSave" function in Appian. What do you tra to do here? Appian will automatically store any incoming document for you in the folder as configured in the process model properties..

That code in the script task looks suspicious. Can you share that?

I think the "trick" is to just accept the email in the start node. Then make your decisions in a follow up script task. In case you want to cancel further processing, just delete any attachments.
