Can't attach an attachment
I wrote an email then clicked on "Attach" (same happens if I click "Add attachment"), I got an error message that stated that a completely unrelated directory did not exist. There was no way to get round this, so I could not add the attachment. I eventually worked out that the directory had been used for an attachment on a previous unrelated email. That directory had since been deleted. I created another directory of the same name and the attachment process worked. When attaching, Thunderbird seems to default to the most recently used directory, if it no longer exists the attachment process fails and there is no way round it.

That has not been a problem, so you need to share more information. can you send a screenshot of the folder thunderbird opens when you click attach? Are you using windows. What release are you using?
The version is 128.5.2esr (64-bit) Fedora Flatpak on Fedora 41. Could the problem be related to sandboxing? Remember that the folder didn't exist when I clicked attach, so a screenshot would just show the error message. I had to create another one to make things work. It was just an ordinary subfolder of a subfolder of a subfolder of my home directory.
