I'm using Version 128.6.0esr in Windows, but can't do drag and drop file for attachment at all. Previously it still can use this feature but suddenly it came to a stop.

The icon Ø will appear when we are trying to drag and drop a file to the create message window.

We already have tried the troubleshoot with no result.

Any advice on how to repair this?

Thanks

Hello,

I am running Thunderbird 140.1.1 esr on a Win 10 Pro laptop. In the past, when I inserted an image into an email, Thunderbird offered to resize that image. Now, it just inserts the image, even if it is very large, and doesn't give me that option anymore. So I need to first resize it before adding it.

Is there a setting that will allow the resizing, or has Thunderbird changed how it handles inserted images. I tried the "Advanced Edit" option, but those changes don't "take" and the image is inserted as is.

Also - when I do try to add an image - the inbox becomes the primary window and I need to "find" the compose page to see the email. That didn't used to happen either.

Thanks for any help!

I am an experienced TB user, but at the moment at a total loss for a solution to my problem.

I use Windows 11 Pro. When trying to click on image attachments for PNG and JPG/JPEG pictures, the behaviour is different: PNG images are displayed just fine in the Windows photo viewer, JPEG images are not. If I open the same images via double-click from the local disk, both open just fine in the same viewer. I have checked the file type settings already and even changed them to always ask me for JPEG images. I get asked just fine and see that TB wants to open the Windows photo viewer for both files types, but while it works for PNG, it does not for JPEG. There is no error message, just nothing happens, at least nothing visible to me.

When trying the same from a new user profile, it works as expected. I tried TB safe mode, deactivating all add-ons, but it still does not work in my main user profile.

I would be glad to receive hints for how to solve or at least debug this. Thanks in advance.

Thunderbird Version 142.0 will open when I chose a file to send to mail recipient using win 11, but the new email screen doesn't open so no file attaches. All my defaults are correct, there is a proper mail recipient entry in the appdata sendto file and there is a key in the registry for Thunderbird under client mail.

Hello from France,

I own a Canon Maxify print "Ecotank" and a brand new computer Dell Windows 11 22H2.

Thunderbird 128.6.1 esr x64 has been installed

I meet a problem :

Despite Thunderbird is set by default in Windows, and into IJ Scan Utility "Thunderbird" is set by default too for email directly after scanning a document, Thunderbird opens but with no new window "New Message" as it should be !

Before, i used to open IJ Scan Utility, select "email" , document was scanned and Thunderbird opened with a new window ready to send the message with the scanned document joined.

Can you help me please? Thanks a lot for reading.

This is just a curiosity. When I attach files to TBird emails it always shows the size of the attachments. When the attachments are large enough, I get a warning asking me if I really want to send them or if I should use a file sharing app. What I find curious is that the warning always shows a file size substantially larger than what TBird does. For example, today I wanted to share a file the both TBird and my Win file manager said was 32MB, but the warning said I was trying to send a file that was 48MB.

Why is that? Does TBird have additional data it attaches to the sent message that increase the file size substantially?

Hello--

I've been getting this notification error message for about 1 week now - every time I start Thunderbird (see attachment). I have no idea what this is, what needs to be done to correct it, nor where to go. Can anyone help? I thank you all for your time and help, and look forward to hearing from someone.

Thank you.....

Is there any way to get Thunderbird to display attachments in the body of an email message rather than in tabs underneath the email? There is a "Display Attachments Inline" option under "View" but attachments are in tabs whether that's checked or unchecked. I am coming from Mac Mail...and am used to seeing the attachments in the email body itself before I grab them and drag them to my desktop. They only appear as tabs in Thunderbird.

I had put this up on all the mozilla firefox forums, putting up again, cause it remains unresolved.

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.

HI I have the latest Thunderbird installed on my Redmi Note 8 Pro (Android 11). When I try to write an email and add an attachment (e.g., a photo), the system file manager opens. After selecting the file, it doesn't appear in Thunderbird. Sharing a file from the file manager via Thunderbird results in the same issue. Only when sharing a file through the system Gallery app to Thunderbird can I attach and send it successfully. In the permissions settings for Thunderbird, I only see options for Camera and Contacts. There is no option for Files and Media. I couldn't find a solution to this problem anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Версия Thunderbird - 140.1.0esr (64-разрядный)

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,

Please teach me how to quickly jump to the folder where I have saved an attachment file on my PC soon after I saved the file? I want to open the attachment file soon after I have saved it to a folder I selected upon saving it. Does Thunderbird have a function to indicate the folder to which I have saved an attachment file on my PC?

I've just upgraded to Tbird 102.15.1 and I've noticed that PDF attachments now open in a new tab (ie, in the same way that a new email would open in a new tab). Previously, they opened separately in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Is this a new Tbird feature? Can it be turned off (ie, revert to the previous method) and , if so, how?

Appreciate any help to understand this.

I was in the process of searching my files to attach one to an email when the attachment window suddenly expanded from approx 50% of the screen to almost full screen and I can find no way to reset it. I can see the sideand bottom edges of the window, and move the expand/contract arrow on the cursor to these sides and the bottom corners, but it does not operate, and there is no button to minimise or adjust it. I have just checked and it is operating perfectly fine on both Firefox and the main Thunderbird window, and email viewing windows. Is this a change to the program settings - it appears to only apply to the "Attach" setting - viewing attachments and emails are as they always were.

I got an email with a dozen or so mp3 files attached and wanted to download them in one go onto my android phone. I chose "download complete message " thinking that would work. But no. The files don't appear in the downloads folder so I'm going to download each one separately. But I'd still like to find where the "complete message" was saved so I can delete it. Regards, Ian
