Attachment bug

issue is much more then I thought dam...so I did a test setup with 157.0 and attach button work so the issue years of moving forward something broke.

I'm going to see if I can some how setup a skeleton and see if I can move all my Emails over

So it all done now likely there was a easer way but I share how I did it:

go to tools > account settings and make a note of the Email then server settings for that Email note the local directory

do this for each one and local folders

then go to C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\ rename Thunderbird to Thunderbird2

run Thunderbird and setup your Emails

now check each Email in account settings to and note its local directory by what you noted the old setup then go in like

C:\Users\_\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\(random).default\Mail\Local Folders C:\Users\_\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\(random).default-release\Mail

and from Thunderbird2 folder match the old name folder like C:\Users\_\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird2\Profiles\(random).default\Mail\pop.gmail.com to the new setup if different but may be the same C:\Users\_\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\(random).default-release\Mail\pop.gmail-1.com

Until this bug gets fixed it might be easier to attach file via drag & drop. Don't you think?

Well I be!

Yes but its not like its obvious wish I knew that yesterday.

Maybe next to attach button they can say like drag and drop to attach would be helpful

Thanks

Drag & drop is a basic feature on computers. It was the first thing I learnt on my Macintosh about thirty years ago 😊

I'm running 157.0.1 and have the same problem. Tried to attached a document to an email and nothing happened.

Drop & drag worked. Thanks
