I've inadvertently made some change to 'Open with' so that when I add an attachment I can not open it within the email I'm sending. It opens for the recipient but not for me. When I click on the attachment nothing happens. It doesn't occur for all attachments but it seems to be for any attachment requiring 'Photos' as the option to open. Can you help please?

"Open message in conversation" is no longer listed when I right click on an e-mail.

So I started investigating. Rebuilding the Global Database was suggested as a solution. So I deleted the "global-messages-db.sqlite" file (66MB), and started TB again.

Now the database starts rebuilding. I follow the status in the Activity Manager. It's stuck at: "Indexing messages Determining which messages to index in Inbox/+ 2023/+ Pantoon/+ Algemeen - Yannig.eu"

So I backup this folder "Algemeen", delete it from TB, and restart TB. Now the Indexer is stuck at the next folder. I once again backup, delete and restart. Now the indexer is stuck at the next folder in the list, and so on.

Any advice on how to break this cycle and get TB do index succesfully?

Cannot remove chat account from account settings

There are 2 questions in the Q&A section without any reply. I have no idea what has transpired since this morning when the dates were perfect. I went out for about 3 hours and on return the clock is showing a 12-hour clock without am or pm. So searching by date and time is a laborious process. I cannot find anything in settings relating to 12 or 24. What am i missing? Thanks

On support page accesible at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configuration-options-accounts, it says in "Leave messages on server" paragraph as below:

"Set Until I delete them to delete messages from the server when you delete them from Thunderbird."

When I do so Thunderbird initiates server delete immediately upon moving the message from inbox to Trash either via delete key or moving to that folder specifically. I was expecting it would initiate delete once the message is deleted from Trash folder as my previous e-mail client prior to installing Thunderbird. I like it but this is either a confusing behavior not explained well in manuals or ssettings screen or there might be a bug. Please let me know which is the case.

PS: I use Thunderbird Mac 128.10

Hi :-)

Thunderbird is blocked, and I'm not able to force to leave (Ubuntu tells me that I can force Thunderbird to leave - or wait a little more. But when I click on "Force to leave", nothing happens). The only way to close Thunderbird is to restart the computer.

I already tried the "troubleshooting mode" (is it right? "mode de dépannage" in french), but it's the same.

It's urgent, since I can no longer access my emails.

Is there a way to push my full config online but not public, so Thunderbird contributors would be able to: - find what's wrong, and send me a coherent config to get the current version of Thunderbird working with it, without data loss, - make future versions of Thunderbird able to make this kind of correction automatically?

I just see that this goes against the "Avoid support scams" warning, even if that's my own suggestion. I suppose you don't have a place for that. Is there something else which I could do?
