Dear Thunderbird,

All attachments used to save on a folder when it was detached before. Without any changes done, just on updating the Thunderbird software, the attachments now detach and delete from the email, but when I check the same folder there is no file detached and saved there, while the file gets deleted from the email and lost forever.

Have put this on many forums as well as bugs but no respite, please help Mozilla, FIrefox and Thunderbird team.

This was my post on the other Mozilla forums: Dear Thunderbird,

I have been using Eudora for 20 plus years and migrated to Thunderbird after Mozilla took it over. After my donation, I have observed that the last update that you have done, has a bug.

I would always detach any attachments on my email and categorize them in my set directories for easy retrieval and I have these files since 1991. Off late when I detach a file it deletes it from the email, and saves it to my attach folder, desingated in the options menu, making my inbox file that I backup smaller and managable on a pen drive too. Now when I detach files, it deletes them from the email but the attach directory is always empty.

Please rectify this as it is causing a lot of files being lost.
