Description

The ability to save email attachments into Nextcloud is a fantastic feature and is the key reason why this app is perfect in my deployment.

We use the Nextcould Tags feature all the time to tag files based on various criteria. To tag a new file that I saved from an email, I have to go back to the Files view, navigate to the folder I just saved to, and add the file tags.

It would be a great enhancement if file tags could be applied to the file at the time of saving, from within the mail app itself.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating the attachment-save flow and how the app communicates with Nextcloud file metadata, then determine the UI and request changes needed to select tags during saving; done means newly saved attachments receive the selected tags.
