As a twelve or more years user of Thunderbird, I find it to be okay most of the time. I hate the spam folder that does not learn and I hate threads.

Today all of a sudden, I cannot save photos sent from my iPhone as jpg. I have always right clicked and a menu has appeared. Today, the right click just zooms in which I never want to do when I am trying to save.

I tried searchig online first before coming here. Apple is claiming that Thunderbird developers made a mistake and that is why the right click is not working. AI had me try a bunch of different techniques none of which worked.

When I do save after much effort, the "photo" in my Animals folder appears as the Thunderbird logo instead of the real item itself. The other weird thing is that my folders also do NOT show up where they should when I am trying to save. The menu doesn't give me all the folders as it always has. Instead it just say All Files which is not adequate.

Bonjour,

Depuis plusieurs semaines, je ne peux plus du tout joindre de pièce à mes mails.

Pourriez-vous m'aider à résoudre ce problème, svp ?

je vous en remercie par avance.

Bien cordialement

Since the Thunderbird update of 30 Sept the ability to attached files to my emails has 'vanished'. I press the attach 'button' but there is no response. Never had this as a problem before. I am running Windows 11 home version. Help!

Thunderbird flatpak -1.0 I recently lost the ability to attach files of any kind to messages. when I click the button to attach, no option to choose messages from files are available. I cannot go to the file and share with Thunderbird. I cannot copy a file and attach it. I have tried restarting Thunderbird, and my system (Po_OS Linux) with no result. thanks for the assistance!

Dear Thunderbird Support Team,

We are experiencing a problem with the attachment feature in Thunderbird following a recent system update on our computer.

Since the update, the Attach option in emails no longer works, preventing us from attaching files to our outgoing messages. We use this feature very frequently in our daily work, as we regularly send documents by email, so this issue is causing significant difficulties for us.

Could you please help us resolve this problem? We would appreciate any guidance or troubleshooting steps you could provide.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. We look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards, Exterra

When i write a email and i attempt to join a file (CTR+MAJ+A or join button + File), nothing happens. It's the first time that i encounter this issue. I try to reinstall thuderbird but it was without effect on this issue.

Is it a new bug on this version ? Thanks

The option to attach a file to an email is greyed out. The program will not allow me to send email attachments. I can send emails, send anything that I have saved in my inbox but I am unable to do new emails with attachments. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird but it still will not allow me to do attachments.

Musste einen Beitrag für Zeitschrift verfassen, lässt sich nicht an Mail anhängen. Sowohl "Anhängen" wie auch "anbei" reagiert nicht. Wie kann ich meinen Abgabe-Termin dennocheinhalten??? Mail funktioniert, aber Anhang fehlt natürlich

For years I have been attaching message files, pics., etc. by clicking the Attach button and browsing to the target. Now I have to drag and drop the attachments as the Attach click is useless.
