Attaching files no longer works in the current version of Thunderbird—what should I do now?

Das anhängen von Dateien in der aktuellen Thunderbird-Version funktioniert nicht mehr, und nun?

My Thunderbird connected to my gmail is running slow. Thunderbird is not running slow on my other (non-gmail) account. It takes 10-15 seconds for an e-mail (from gmail) to be deleted or moved within Thunderbird. I have tried "compacting folders" and "repairing folders" and that does not help. Please help!

Since the recent update, 157.1, I cannot get the "Get Messages" button to work and it will not download new emails. I can download a previous version and it works just fine. I also cannot stop the auto updating function even though I check the box to not auto install.

My gmail account in Thunderbird stopped working on my lap top but is is still working on my phone and note pad. This happens from time to time so I usually just delete the account in Settings then Account settings then just add it as a new account. But having deleted the account I now can't add it back again. It doesn't allow me to add the account. At the Incomming Server settings Error Creating Account Incoming server already exists

Hello at all, I manage several email addresses through Thunderbird Version 153.4.Oesr (64-Bit). For a few days now, it has not been possible to send emails with attachments. When I click the attachment button, nothing happens. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this. Thanks for your support :-)

Bonjour, Sitot la version 150.0.1 installée automatiquement, je ne peux plus ajouter de pièces jointes. Merci de debugger

A couple of days ago I was suddenly unable to receive email. I can still "Send." This may be relevant. A week or so ago my ATT email started requiring a verification process that required matching up figures. This continued for several days. Eventually I started receiving a "verification confirmed" message w/o having to match the figures and the log-in proceeded as usual. For the last couple of days I have not received the verification message and the log-in as proceeded in the normal manner. I remember a few years ago there was a problem with ATT and Thunderbird having to have a special pass word. It was called a SafeKey. Don't know if this is the same problem.

I can't get an attachment to an email message. When I select the 'attach' button, nothing happens. I recently cloned my C: drive and am concerned that something didn't get cloned properly

This morning I started getting this popup in lower right part of my screen every minute :

Mozilla ESR Thunderbird Connection to server inbound.att.net has been reset

It continues over and over as TB tries to get new messages.

Also, AVG Free antivirus is telling me it has identified a site certification problem. LOCATION: inbound.att.net (POP) Process: thunderbird.exe Detected by: Email Shield

In TB Help it says I'm currently on the esr uipdate channel .....whatever that means Whats the issue here? Can anyone help?

Greetings,

I perform a daily thumb drive backup of Thunderbird in the event that my PC crashes (which it has) so I don't loose emails and contacts. I'm aware of two methods to do this. I've tried both, and one method saves more file folders than the other. My question is: Which is correct to use?

One method is described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-export The other method is accessed from the main page of Thunderbird: Import/Export > Backup, select OK and then the location and folder where you want the data to be transferred.

The first method captures four main folders and other files listed below them. The second method captures ten folders and all of the same files as in the first method.

Because they are different, I'm unsure of which to use and, additionally, why would two methods be offered?

Thank you in advance for your comments and advice.

I see a "Thunderbird ESR" notice appears when I open my laptop. I searched to see what it means. I'm still confused. 1) where did it come from? 2) is it best for me? I am a senior not interested in lots of changes (except improvements), but I am not an organization. Should I do anything or just leave it?

when I go to get my email, it says I have 7 messages. Then a message pops up saying timed out and cannot download my messages. It has worked for all the years I have used Thunderbird. What can I do?
