Can you remember what the file was called? If so, try this
The only place it would be if it can't retrieve it is in the temp folder and auto-wiped! What happens when you run that commande when you've still got the browser and pdf viewer open?
If you can see a pdf on your screen, it must have downloaded to somewhere on the device... 'find' should show you where they're being deposited.
As you might have guessed I only have an N900 but they're both linux, right?

Code:
find -name *<part_of_name>*.* 2>/dev/null

If you're using FileBox or going through folders in the terminal with ls, make sure you allow hidden files and folders to be visible. i.e. ls -a
If find -name doesn't work, which it might not because the browser can rename things to suit its filing pattern, look on computer hope for how to use the find command. What might make the file findable or individual? Date, time, size, etc.
It is there!

Hey boys and girls, just got an email on the N9 with a PDF attached. No problem, thinks I, I'll download that and take a look. I click on the attachment bar and even get the option to change the name of the file with the 'Save as' pop up window. And it downloads quickly, and tells me 'Completed'. Great!
NOW WHERE IS IT???!
I have FileBox and I have spent ages looking for it, but it's nowhere to be found. I've looked in 'Downloads' (most obvius folder to look) nope. I opened the Document viewer, but that only shows Word docs.
So where is the blasted file? Anyone shed any light on this? I've searched all over Google and can only find people with similar problems but no solutions.

@demolition: typed the find line in Terminal, it said no such file found, so I'm assuming it's not there. I'm stumped on this one.

After download:
/home/user/.qmf/tmp/fenix-temporary-files/[some_string]/
After save:
/home/user/MyDocs/Documents
Just send to you an pdf file renamed to test.pdf, dowload it and save it and search in FileBox test.pdf

It should get into the Documents folder when saving. I remember that this once worked on my N9 (I don't get that many PDF attachments by mail).
It shows up in the Documents app now.
