Ich benutze Firefox auf zwei Windows 11 Rechnern. Die Version ist auf beiden Rechnern gleich, (149.9 esr 32Bit ) , beide Rechner greifen im Fall des Verfassens einer E-Mails mit Anhängen auf einen gemeinsamen Speicher über LAN zu, seit kurzem gibt es bei einem der beiden Rechner aber beim Anhängen einer Datei an die Mail eine Verzögerung von ca. 5 Sekunden, bevor der Anhang auftaucht, unabhängig von dessen Größe. ( Also auch kleine Pdf´s werden verzögert angezeigt.) Der zweite Rechner hat das Problem nicht, selbst bei grösseren Anhängen. ( Auch sind die Rechner fast bau-und ausstattungsgleich ) Testprogramme auf dem Problem-PC zeigen keine Auffälligkeiten beim Schreiben und Lesen, auch die Internet-Verbindung ist die gleiche... Habe bereits die Einstellungen der Konten und des Programms in beiden Rechnern verglichen, sie sind gleich. Hat jemand eine Idee, woran das liegen kann?

Grüsse, Martin

hello, i cannot seem to find a solution online, hopefully someone can help.

i often receive emails with images attached, and most of the time people don't resize their images. you can imagine over time this all adds up in the email storage folder total size.

i dont always need to keep a 6mb image version, it can be reduced after i am done.

i would like a method to resize the received emails image attachment, to at least still have a smaller copy for refence, but not end up with a huge thunderbird email account profile (in the email received not externally saved)

preferably a one click solution, or even a routine i can run on the file system, etc. or some way to edit the received email and its attachment in program.

thanks

Hello, I’ve just started using Thunderbird and I really like it so far.

I have one question regarding attachments. In emails that include attachments, is it possible to change how the attachment area is displayed? Currently, it appears as a single line at the bottom of the message. Ideally, I’d like to have it displayed more prominently, preferably at the top of the message, similar to how it appears in Outlook.

So far, the only adjustment I’ve made is setting mailnews.attachments.display.start_expanded to always show attachments expanded. Are there any other settings or methods to further customize the attachment view or position?

Thank you in advance.

T-Bird,

Using the latest version of Thunderbird, all of the sudden I cannot attach/send photos or documents. The 'send to' mail icon in the menu is not lit up to accept the attachment. The message come back 'no file associated'. My defaults are as they were. I have been using Thunderbird email client for likely twenty years. What has changed and how can I get my Windows 11 to recognize again? Would reloading the program help? Any information/help would be much appreciated as I am not a system dive in file changing techie. Thanks, Doug

Does Thunderbird use an internal PDF print driver? I can't print PDF attachments in color from an email. I've checked my print settings but Thunderbird only prints black. If I save the PDF file and then double click it, Adobe comes up and prints it full color. I'd appreciate it if it can brought to soneones attention.

Thank you.

What happened to the useful top right window box for attachments on my outgoing emails, can I return it? It's gone to the bottom and is really annoying, I mean who decides these useless and unhelpful changes?

I am working on a new laptop running Windows 11. Thunderbird was successfully installed a week ago and was running fine until I made a change related to OneDrive - attempting to remove OneDrive as a default location for files. later, I attempted to open an MS Word attachment to an email and got this message from Microsoft Word: "Unable to open the existing file: (C:\Users\..(myname)..\AppData..\Normal.dotm)".

I think my OneDrive action - removing a OneDrive folder from my C:/Users/..(name)../ location on my laptop - per Windows support directions, caused this. Maybe a disconnect between Thunderbird and MS Word? I can open other file types that are attachments.

Can you help explain and correct this problem?

Thanks

Today the pictures,jpg, stopped opening automatically in Thunderbird mobile. Now there is a View link and its just not good to have to go through the extra steps to see the pictures. It must be an update that broke it because my settings didn't change. Also, It would be helpfull to see date and time of messages instead of day of the week.

The attachment icon is missing from the message display pane in incoming emails in Thunderbird. Before it was always displayed at the bottom of the window. I have 'Display Attachments Inline' checked and I also repaired the Inbox folder but still no icon visible. I am using the latest version of Mozilla Thunderbird 151.0.

I can't open an email attachment with last part rs6.net. This is a reliable email with important information I need for a church conference.

Hi everyone,

I’m new to Thunderbird. I’m using version 149.0.2 (aarch64), and I’ve noticed that when I receive one or more attachments, I only see a file called winmail.dat.

Is there a way to view the actual attachments, whether they are PDFs or other file types? Thank you!

When I type the word "attachment" in version 149.0.2 I no longer get the warning bar across the bottom of the screen. I do have the "check for missing attachments" box checked in Settings.

Bei manchen PDF Dateien 2,7 MB bekomme ich die Fehlermeldung Datei beschädigt. im Originalpostfach ( t- online ) Zugang über Internet ist der Anhang ok. Wenn ich die Datei vom Server direkt ( z.B. t-online nochmals an meine E- Mail Adresse sende und dann über mein Thunderbirth Mailprogramm öffne, ist die Datei ok. Der selbe Effekt tritt auch auf meinem Lapptop mit Linux Betriebssystem auf. Was kann die Ursache sein?

I have a client who has been using Thunderbird for years - in the last couple of weeks when doing his normal scan to email he is suddenly getting this error message, after filling in the email details and clicking send

"Sending of the message failed - there was an error attaching xyz.PDF. Please check that you have access to the file"

Process is... 1. do a Scan to Email via the Brother printer console panel 2. Scan completes and opens the TB new email message - File saves into the default folder \pictures\cc4\email 3. Fill in the recipient, subject and message body 4. Click send message in TB 5. Error above is presented

I can open the the attachment within Thunderbird to check it and it opens just fine - the scanned file is actually there... But click the send button and that error is presented.

I can fix it by removing the attachment and reattaching manually from the email folder where scan is saved.

When I try it myself (remote support), either via the brother CC4 app or getting client to trigger the scan to email, it often works, but invariably he calls back after his next scan to email and it is broken again...

Scans were saving to a Onedrive folder originally, moved the save location back to the standard user/pictures/cc4 folder assuming Onedrive may have been interfering, but it is still behaving the same.

Anyone have any clues what might be going on here? The brother software seems to be doing what it is supposed to. I have reinstalled both the Brother software and Thunderbird with no change... Windows updates maybe?

In the interim I have him doing scan to file and attaching manually, but would be nice to get this sorted for him...

its an Acer laptop running Windows 11 pro 25H2, TB version was 150.0.2 originally but still doing the same on the latest 151.0 that I installed two days ago

Thanks for reading... any help appreciated

Hello,

we have a reproducible issue in Thunderbird when forwarding emails with attachments.

Environment: Windows 11 Professional Thunderbird version 152.0 (The issue also occurred in the previous Thunderbird version) POP3 account Mail provider Strato AVG Business Antivirus installed, but the issue also occurs after testing AVG related settings Issue occurs with different attachment types and sizes, for example PDF and DXF files

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open an email with an attachment. 2. Forward the email using Forward Inline. 3. Add recipient and some text. 4. Save the message as draft. 5. The first save works. 6. Save the same draft again, with or without changing the text.

Actual result: The second save fails with an error message similar to:

“Your message cannot be saved as a draft. There was an error attaching [filename]. Please check if you have sufficient access rights to the file.”

Expected result: The draft should save repeatedly without an attachment error.

Important observations: The problem occurs with all tested attachments, not only one specific file. The file size does not seem to be the cause. The issue also occurred with a small DXF attachment of about 355 KB. The issue also occurs in Thunderbird Troubleshoot Mode. The issue still occurred after creating a new Thunderbird POP3 profile and downloading the remaining emails again from the Strato POP3 mailbox. Changing the draft folder did not solve the issue. Removing temporary Drafts files and rebuilding the Drafts index did not solve the issue. The issue originally appeared to be related to AVG, but later tests showed that AVG is not the main cause. If the automatically inherited attachment is removed from the forwarded message and then manually dragged again from the original email into the draft, the draft can be saved without problems. Changing forwarding mode from Forward Inline to Forward as Attachment solves the issue.

Conclusion: This looks like a Thunderbird issue with automatically inherited attachments in inline forwarded messages. The first draft save works, but on the second save Thunderbird seems unable to reprocess or resolve the inherited attachment and shows a misleading access rights error.

We would appreciate any advice on how to further troubleshoot or resolve this issue. If this is a known bug, we would also be grateful for any information regarding a planned fix or available workaround. We are happy to provide additional information, screenshots or perform further tests if needed.
