Rajasekaramya,

Have 2 forms to save a plot using savePlot ou using device like: jpeg(),
png() or pdf() in you case

for(i in 1:length(all.the.mean){
windows()
boxplot(all.the.mean[[i]]
title<-paste("Mean",i,sep="-")
savePlot(filename = title,type = c("png"))
}

OR
 
for(i in 1:length(all.the.mean){
windows()
title<-paste(i,"png",sep=".")
png(filename =tilte) 
boxplot(all.the.mean[[i]]
dev.off()
}
