I'm using the Email Trigger and its saving the email and attachment into a particular folder. However I would like to copy the attachment to another folder. How can I do this?

Create a File Trigger that watches the base folder (and sub folders). Then use the Variables from the File Trigger to Copy the files. Check out the Tutorials online for File Trigger and Variables.

I would like to only copy the file when the Email Trigger has downloaded a file. How do I add a condition to do this?

By default the file is only triggering when released (download is complete) so you should not have to worry about this.

So against the same job that is triggering the email trigger can I add a task top copy the attachment and that task will only execute if the email trigger ran.

Right, take a look at File Trigger and Variable Tutorials for more details.

You can add a Copy File task in the same job triggered by the Email Trigger. Once the attachment is downloaded, the job will run and copy the file to the required folder automatically. Using variables from the trigger can help reference the downloaded attachment path.
