Hi,

Since yesterday I lost the send button in the composer window and I do not seem to find anyway to send an email. Attached screenshot - Using Thunderbird for year - consider myself an expert user. Macbook-Pro 2018 laptop Restarted app laptop several times - not helping.

There could have been some auto updates - hard to track those anymore many sneaky apps including apple.

Any help appreciated. Thank you!

OK I solved my problem. Here is what happened in case other run into the same issues:

Yesterday, I lost the rich text buttons (fonts, colors etc....) - still lost and not sure why - but I can live without those. Anyway, I guess I was checking/unchecking 'Menu:Edit:View:Tool Bars:Composition Bar' trying to get back my rich text editor buttons. Seems like I left the Composition Toolbar unchecked not realizing at that time that this also hides the top bar which has: "Send", "Spelling", "Security" and "Save".

English is my 2nd language so i maybe wrong here but i would call: 

"Send", "Spelling", "Security" and "Save" => Action Bar

Text editing buttons (bold, italic, etc) => Composition Bar
