I’m using an iPhone 5s, and I want to download the attachment in email to my iPhone. The attachment contains several video files in .mov format. So can I download it directly on my iPhone? I don’t want to sync them with iTunes, as I want to watch and then delete them on my iPhone. Thanks in advance for your kind reply.
Many iPhone users take advantage of their iPhone to do all kinds of stuff, so they want to use iPhone to save everything. However, due to the protection of the built-in programs and apps, Apple doesn’t allow the users to save or download files to iPhone freely. So before downloading email attachments to iPhone, the users should make it clear that whether the contents in the attachment are supported by iPhone.
Part 1. How to Download Email Attachments to iPhone
According to post, the iPhone user has several video files in the attachment, and the files are supported by iPhone, so the user can download the attachment to iPhone directly.
1. The user should go to the mail app on his/her iPhone, and find the email with the attachment, and then they will see the attachment in the app.

2. Tapping the attachment and the user will see a download button, tap the button to start downloading the videos. It is easy to be done.
3. After the download, the videos will be saved in the Camera Roll on your iPhone.
If the iPhone users don’t have the Wi-Fi connection at the moment, downloading the videos directly will take much traffic data in your iPhone. In fact, an iPhone transfer program can help you import videos to iPhone without using iTunes or email. You only need to download the videos to your computer and then transfer them to your iPhone directly.
I would like to introduce Leawo iTransfer to all users. The software is used for transferring files among iOS devices, iTunes and PCs, and it helps to backup iPhone, iPad and iPod files to computer. The following guidance will show you how to download email attachments to iPhone, and you are allowed to download the software to have a try. Note that the trial version has limited transfer times.
Tips: Leawo iTransfer only works with iTunes installed on your PC.
1. Go to the email on your computer, and download the video attachment to your computer.
2. Start Leawo iTransfer and connect iPhone to computer with the USB cable. The software will automatically detect all the libraries of your iPhone and list all the libraries.
3. Choose “Music” library in sidebar, and the contents will be shown in the right part. You can see an “Add” button in the window of the software. Click the button to add videos from your computer. Or you are allowed to drag and drop the files into the window. You can also click “File > Add > Add File/Add Folder” add the videos on your computer.
4. Leawo iTransfer will start the transfer immediately. The software will show you a progress bar to notice the percentage of the transfer process. When the transfer is done, you will get the videos in your iPhone, and they are not synced to iTunes library.
With Leawo iTransfer, you don’t have to download email attachments to iPhone, you can transfer them to your iOS device without using iTunes.
Leawo iTransfer doesn’t only allow users to transfer files from computer to iOS devices, but also transfer files between iOS devices, for example, Leawo iTransfer enables users to transfer music from iPod to iPad. If you are interested in this software, just download it and have a try.
Part 2. How to Save Email Attachments from Mail to iCloud Drive in iPhone
The iPhone Mail app allows users to save various types of attachments directly to the iPhone. This is a great feature that is available in the iOS 9 and above, and for most file attachment, you’ll be able to save whatever the file is directly to iCloud Drive in iPhone.
Be sure you have iCloud Drive enabled and visible on the Home Screen icon of iPhone if you want to save email attachments there, obviously if the feature is not enabled you would not be able to save anything there, and without iCloud you wouldn’t have access to the saved files and documents anyway. And the guidance below will show you how to save email attachments to iCloud Drive in Phone.
1. Launch Mail from your Home screen.
2. Open the email that contains the email attachment.
3. Long press on the attachment to bring up the Share sheet.
4. Tap on Save Attachment.
6. Tap on the folder you want to save the file into.
7. Tap on Move to this location at the bottom to save the file.
Unless you did 'open in' on the attachment then it won't be saved in any other app - it will just be linked to the email in the Mail app, and can only be accessed via the email. Depending on the type of attachment you can download apps so that you can have access to the attachment without needint to keep the email e.g. the free iBooks app can store PDFs, as can they more powerful (but paid for) GoodReader
From the manual (downloadable from http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) :

Open an attached file: Tap the attachment to download it to iPad and then open it. If iPad doesn’t support the format of an attached file, you can see the name of the file but you can’t open it.
Open an attached file with a different app: Touch and hold the attachment, then choose an app. If you don’t have any apps that can open the attachment, you can view it, provided it’s a file type that iPad supports.
