Thunderbird Community Forum

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

When composing an email and adding an attachment, the file type icon does not appear next to the file name of the attachment. I located this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1547712 which seemed to address this and someone hit on the issue--file names that have a space in the name--test file.pdf for example generate the problem. When attaching a file with no spaces in the name, the icon appears. Any further info on this? Windows 11 personal. Thunderbird v. 149.0.2 (64-bit)

Thanks
