I have a similar need, and I almost found a solution...using Keyboard Maestro. I don't want to do it all the time for every message that arrives in a specific mailbox, so, not quite the same use as you and Stefan. Instead, I have a selection of messages that I want to extract the attachments from to a specific folder. I created a Keyboard Maestro macro to select all of the messages in that mailbox, and then select the Message -> Save Attachments shortcut in MailMate. Unfortunately, this is where things start behaving unpredictably. In the panel that appears, if you type a path (there is no text input area, but if you just start typing as if you're typing a path/directory), then the panel for saving the attachments will change to that directory. That's a macOS feature, not MailMate. But however Keyboard Maestro types text doesn't always play nicely with this process (I've tried all of the ways KM has). I suspect that if I had the KM Macro run some AppleScript that sent text more like a person typing, it may work, but, I've not tested this. Not quite the fully automated way that you want to do things, but, I'm nearly there with this approach.
