I believe the only option to view attachments is to scroll until the end of the email. This is inconvenient for emails with many replies and forwards as they become very long. In addition, the implicit Gmail indentation, makes the scroll length extremely long (email is eventually displayed one character per line). I have one email that I need to scroll hundreds of screens so I can view the attachments. See attached image with the email contents and scroll bar.

It would help to have a button to scroll to the end or ignore indentation. Both options would be helpful as scrolling to the end allows downloading the attachments and reading the initial email.

I can go to any File Manager and send a file to TB, but from within TB itself regardless of composing new or replying, I can only attach Media, as the app only invokes the Media picker when tapping the Paper Clip icon.

Android 14, latest TB from Play Store.

Whenever I get an email that says they are including an attachment, the attachment is never there. What is going on and how to I get email attachments. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

"save all" to save attachments stopped working. I tried selecting all and Control C to copy them, and that did not work either. Often need to save multiple attachments since I work from home.

В thunderbird файлы формата ODT не открываются, а сразу предлагается их сохранить! Нельзя и в настройках выбрать с помощью чего такие файлы открывать (В настройках - Основные - Файлы и вложения)!!! Это не очень удобно.

Overnight my PC had a normal software update. Since then, when I click the arrow symbol to download all attachments, nothing happens. The only way to download attachments now is to click the magnifying glass, then save. For my work I need to download multiple attachments from multiple emails a day so it's pretty inconvenient.

I installed the latest version of Thunderbird on my new Windows 11 PC, and when I try to save an attachment without opening it, it doesn't save. I need to open it and then I can save.

Hello Thunderbird team,

I’ve been a long-time fan of your email client and have been using the desktop version for many years. Recently, I started actively using the Android version as well. From time to time, I also make donations to support the project, since it’s very important to me that Thunderbird continues to grow.

I’d like to share a suggestion: it would be very convenient if attachments in emails were displayed right after the subject line, instead of at the bottom of the entire conversation. In long email threads, it can be inconvenient to scroll all the way down just to open an attached file.

I’d be very grateful if you could consider this improvement. Thank you in advance for your feedback and for your excellent work on Thunderbird!

Best regards, Aleks

For several years there were a couple of Thunderbird add-ons, "Auto Resize Image" and "Shrunked Image Resizer", whose purpose was to quickly and easily reduce the size of attached jpegs in an email message. They both worked well and made it really easy to ensure that one wasn't swamping friends' inboxes with huge photo files. But now, neither of them work with the latest version of Thunderbird (140), and as I have in the past, I wonder why Mozilla didn't build such a function into Thunderbird a long time ago. Can anyone explain why this hasn't ever been done, and might there be plans to do so in the future? Thanks!

Dear Sir/Madam,

      Have been using Thunderbird since it's inception . I have appreciated the "add-ons" which shrink picture file size in the desktop version. Having used Thunderbird for android for a year now I am most frustrated at the inability to utilise this sort of function on android. An email photograph is so helpful in many situations. Am I missing something or do you intend to implement such a function.
   Kind regards Ian

Hi there, My Thunderbird profile has accumulated hundreds of PEP_TMP files which collectively take up a huge amount lot of disk space. Can I just delete them? I'm hesitant because for some reason there are some executable files.

Thanks Robert

Hello! In Thunderbird version 141+, saving attachments from incoming messages is slow. The situation is as follows. A POP3 server and Thunderbird clients are deployed on the local network. When the Thunderbird client receives a message and it appears in the client as new, the user attempts to save all attachments (15 MB) and clicks "Save All." This process takes about 1.5 minutes. In Thunderbird version 115, saving attachments takes 5-10 seconds. Could you please tell me if there's a setting I need to disable in the Thunderbird client? Can I open the "Advanced Settings" in the client and see what specifically I can disable to speed up saving attachments? I've attached the mail server connection settings to my request.

Dear Community,

I just encountered the following issue with Thunderbird after installting the tool on my new laptop: When I click "save" in an email with an attachment, the "Save attachment" window pops up and I can browse to a local folder. But when I click "Save" and then check the corresponding folder, nothing has been saved.

I've searched the Thunderbird Settings menu up and down for a setting/option that will fix this issue, but I couldn't find one.

I've been using Thunderbird for many years, and I've never come across this issue before. I'm at my wits' end, so I'm hoping for your support!
