Suddenly, the body of some my older emails are blank, and their attachments missing! It is sporadic, and there are not specific date windows for when the email bodies/attachments are blank. Some are from a few months ago, some from years ago.

I am a "regular person" email user and have ZERO IT or coding experience. How can I recover the content of these blank emails? Specific, step-by-step help would be much appreciated. I hope to continue using Thunderbird and not have to abandon it.

I run Thunderbird on a iMac, and I use POP to sign in - I think.

Thank you.

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

Please assist When I go to send a email,I add scanned Documents as a attachment<but in the email before i send it,i cannot open attachments it shows could not be opened,because associates helper application does exist chanhe association your preferences have attemped to do above,but need help thank you darryl. < p></but>

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.

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.

hello, i cannot seem to find a solution online, hopefully someone here can help.

i often receive emails with images attached, and most of the time people don't resize the image. so you can imagine over time this all adds up. i dont always need to keep a 6mb image versions. i would love if there is a way to resize the email image attachment, to at least still have a smaller copy for refence, but not end up with a huge email account (local/pop3)

preferably a one click solution, or even a routine i can run on the file system, etc.

thanks

When I add attachments when replying to emails, the file icons on those attachments don't display. This only happens when replying, the file icons display when receiving emails. Have tried many things to fix this including using ChatGTP with no luck. What can I do to fix this?

В thunderbird файлы формата ODT не открываются, а сразу предлагается их сохранить! Нельзя и в настройках выбрать с помощью чего такие файлы открывать (В настройках - Основные - Файлы и вложения)!!! Это не очень удобно.

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?

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.

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

Dear Community,

I just encountered the following issue with Thunderbird after installting the tool on my new laptop: When I click "save" in an email with an attachment, the "Save attachment" window pops up and I can browse to a local folder. But when I click "Save" and then check the corresponding folder, nothing has been saved.

I've searched the Thunderbird Settings menu up and down for a setting/option that will fix this issue, but I couldn't find one.

I've been using Thunderbird for many years, and I've never come across this issue before. I'm at my wits' end, so I'm hoping for your support!

I have McAfee Total Security installed & up to date on my PC.

3 times today, the AV reported files being generated by email contain malicious links or attachments?

e.g. in AppData\Local\Temp newmsg-46 newmsg-73

Thunderbird 128.13.0esr was installed. I have just updated to 128.14.0esr, then immediately prompted to install140.4.0esr?

Was this a known issue?

Thanks

Good day,

I am a TB user (for work) and i love it, the main reason being the fact that it's simple, compared to MS Outlook, for example. Easy to use, intuitive for new users, and so on. So congrats to everyone for keeping it simple! :)

Now, an issue i've come across recently. More and more people send documents as .jpeg, pictures taken by smartphones. And, as everyone knows, the recent models have increased the MB of each camera. And most people sadly keep the max resolution, best quality, like you'd use when going on a holiday. But you don't need this when you take a picture of an invoice or a gas receipt. This results in very large attachments, esp. when you add several pics to an email.

The current limit seems to be 25MB (i got this from Google, didn't see any mention of a limit in TB help?!). So my question is simple: can I, a user, increase this limit somehow? Or is it a dev related setting? If users can, please guide me through some options/menus because i haven't found any. I use the latest version, 140.8.0esr. A realistic limit, imho, would be 100MB/email.

Also, kindly please keep feedback on topic, I am not interested in sharing, or sending in any other ways, like wetransfer, google drive, one drive, etc.

Thank you!

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?

Hello,

Need help with the following as its creating confusing attachments. Whenever someone attaches an EML file to an email, the attachement pane shows the EML file AND the attachments from said EML file along with any other attachement, is there a way to not show the EML attachments to avoid any confusion and not download repeated older attachments?

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

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.
