After creating an email message, I click on attachment button to attach a file or pdf document to the message. The file explorer screen opens for a second then closes, giving me no opportunity to attach anything.

We have our accounts on one computer and one dedicated email (using Thunderbird) which sends our invoices to our customers in PDF format as an attachment to an email. This stopped working a few days ago. The tech department of our accounts package supplied by Benchmak/Snip has looked at our system and the only thing they can suggest is that the emails are being blocked because may be Thunderbird thinks they are SPAM. We have been using this system for a couple of years now and has been fine. We can send and receive emails to/from this account, it's only the PDF attachments of invoices which isn't working. Can any one help please, thank you.

Hello, How do I disable the setting in Thunderbird that deletes attachments after I reply to emails? This is super frustrating and quite embarrassing when I have to ask clients to resend things.

By right clicking an image, there is a menu which has more options, and in more options there is "send to". By clicking "mail recipient", a dialog opens up to select the file size preferred. Then click attach. At this point, in windows 10, the email is ready with attachment in Thunderbird. Now, new PC with windows 11, when I click attach, the dialog disappears, but no email appears in Thunderbird. I have checked settings, and Thunderbird is chosen for .eml and for MAILTO Does anyone know how to make this work in windows 11?

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

Godt nytårJeg har forsøgt at oprette filelink og skal så oprette en konto, synes det ser besværligt ud når man ikke kender til den slags , men div. adresser og konto. Jeg får på skærmen besked på at gå til fanebladet udgående. men udgående kan jeg ikke se nogen steder.

Vedr. oprettelse af kom´nto til webdaw vil jeg gerne hvis jeg kan få en uddybende forklaring på hvor og hvad jeg skal skrive . Foreløbig tak for hjælp

Hi,

When I search the web for this I get loads of results telling me how to insert emojis in emails I'm sending. That is not my problem.

The problem I have is that someone keeps sending a single emoji as a reply to an email. Instead of displaying that it adds it as an attachment which is really annoying.

How do I fix that? I've already set TB to display images inline but that has no impact.

I'm running TB 146.0b3 (32-bit) although I don't know why. Is there not a 64 bit version and does the b3 mean I'm running a beta version? How do I get to run a 64 bit version?

Thanks,

Leo

Hello

In my Inbox I have a number of photo taken on a smartphone and sent using Gmail to my Thunderbird Inbox with Email address roger@apusapus.co.uk I then use the SAVE AS tab to create a file in jpg format

I attach the file to an E Mail and sent it using Mozilla Thunderbird

The people who get the Email tell me the attached file is empty

THIS IS A NEW PROBLEM TO PLEASE INVESTIGATE

Kann ich in einer neuen Email eine andere Email als Anhang beifügen? Wenn ja, wie geht das? When writing a new email, is it possible to enclose another email? If yes, how does it work?

I have tried on several occasion to send an email with xlsx attachment and you tell me 'This message does not meet our delivery requirements.' I have sent emails previously successfully to the address without the attachment.? What is the problem?

"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.

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.

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.

Hi-

I had this working then it magically stopped about a year ago and I can't get it back. When I try to open a pdf I get "...could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk first and then opening the file."

I have gone into settings and re-selected adobe acrobat and restarted but still can't open.

I am on a mac.

Thanks for your help! Crazy frustrating and time wasting issue.

i have always used thunderbird and am now up to 64 bit thunderbird 144.0.1 on windows 11 25h2

everytime i am sent a pdf file as an attachment i'm having to get thunderbird to open the file before i can actually save it to disc

everything else, while asking me for a name & location to save the file simply doesn't

btw thunderbird is now configured to ask me what to do with the pdf file and it ALWAYS behaves the same

i don't want to have to open files like pdf's that may not be safe / virus free before being able to handle them

way passed the time you fixed this stupidity terry
