Automator Not Retaining Workflow Setting

[nbookman]

In Automator I have created a very basic workflow for use with Mail. In Mail I have a rule established to move any message with a specific attachment name to a specified mailbox folder. For example, Message X comes into my main mailbox with Attachment X and is automatically moved to Mailbox Folder X.

In Automator, the workflow I created is to "Find Messages in Mail" for which the "Mailbox" "is" "Mailbox Folder X." The results (messages) are then passed to "Get Attachments from Mail Messages." The attachments are saved to my Desktop.

The problem: When I run this workflow in Automator, everything works fine. It finds the folder, gets the messages, gets the attachments from the messages, and saves them to the desktop. However, if I save the workflow (regardless of whether I save it as a workflow, application, or plugin), close Automator, and then re-open the workflow, the specified mailbox in "Find Messages in Mail" has changed. Rather than saving the setting as "Mailbox" "is" "Mailbox Folder X," the setting has reverted to "Mailbox" "is" "Mailbox Folder A." That is, it has reverted to the mailbox listed at the top of the drop-down menu in the action (imagine that Mailbox Folder X is halfway down the list). To complicate things, the list of Mailbox Folders is not alphabetical, otherwise I could rename my Mailbox Folder X to something like "000 Mailbox Folder X."

So ultimately, the workflow only works one time, then fails. In the end, I'd like to save this workflow as an Actionscript that can be run as part of the Mail rule that moves the message to the specified folder. Thus, it would move the message to the folder AND download it's attachment to my desktop automatically (this is for returned PDF forms).

I can't possibly think why it won't save the setting or how to start troubleshooting this problem. Please help! (I'm very new to Automator and fairly new to Macs).
