Thunderbird and Apple Mail Drop

I've recently added my iCloud account to Thunderbird, and can use this along with my other accounts, yahoo, gmail and so forth.

icloud.com, however, has a useful feature, which is that if you try to send an oversized attachment - anything up to 5Gb - it will automatically send it via Apple's Mail Drop facility: that is, it will store the attachment for 30 days and incliude with your email a link from which to download it.

This also works with Apple's Mail app, but it doesn't work with Thunderbird; with Thunderbird I just get the familiar 'attachment too large' warning, and the email is not sent.

My question is twofold: first of all, should it work? i.e. is there something I haven't done properly in setting the icloud account up; secondly, if it's technically not possible for it work, why is that? I don't understand the mechanisms of internet connection to know why this might be.

Thanks in advance to any experts on this topic!

Hi Andy,

Apple must have programmed Mail for this function. Maybe other e-mail programs could support it. I don't know.

Thunderbird has other ways of doing the same thing. Unfortunately, they require some set-up:

Thanks, Rick, I didn't know about Filelink, that may ultimately be the answer.

But apparently you do not know about addons. BTW I really know nothing about apple products. I just refuse to pay an apple tax for a somewhat pedestrian products.
