Hello there Marry. We have read your message. We try to help you.

Did you go to the right direction for sending photo s?

Open Thunderbird and select Write to begin a new message. Put the cursor where you want the image to appear in the body of the email. Select Insert > Image from the menu. Select Choose File. Navigate to the image file on your device and select Open. Next to Alternate text, enter a short description of the image and then select OK.

Your picture is now in your Thunderbird email message. If you like, continue with your message and add more images.

This is the good way to send a picture with Thunderbird.

Sending pictures from the internet is the other story.

Copy the image's address in the browser. Open a new Thunderbird email message and write your text. Select Insert > Image. Put the cursor in the Image Location field. Paste the image address into the Image Location field. Next to Alternate text, add a short description. Make sure Attach this image to the message is not checked, and then select OK.

The image is added to your email.


If both of this methods not work. After cleaning ur stuff on the computer . Getting a anti virus protection.

Update your Thunderbird Software to the latest version. https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/102.0.1/releasenotes/
