It's very strange. I have used Thunderbird for years and just today I tried to add an attachment to an email, like I have done thousands of times before and now when I click on add attachment nothing happens. What do I do?

Can’t and cannot send emails


Option 1 : Verify that the Correct SMTP Setting is Being Used

Again, launch the Thunderbird application to fix Thunderbird won’t send email. Then, go to Tools>>Account Settings. Or, click on the three bars on the top-right hand side and go to Options>> Account Settings. From the Account Settings dialogue box, select the account name having Thunderbird email problems sending.

Next, verify that the correct SMTP server is being used for the email address. For example, email cannot be sent via [email protected] through Yahoo SMTP.


Option 2 : Check the SMTP Settings

First, launch the Thunderbird application to remove Thunderbird email problems sending when Thunderbird inbox is full. Then, go to Tools>>Account Settings. Or, click on the three bars on the top-right hand side and go to Options>> Account Settings. From the Account Settings dialogue box, select Outgoing Server(SMTP).Then, check to make sure that the SMTP settings are correct for the email account configured.

Next, click on Edit button to change SMTP details and remove Thunderbird email problems. Also, go to the email provider’s website and search for Mail Settings>>SMTP. Then, verify that the Thunderbird settings match the documented settings

Does it work in safe mode? Hold Option when you launch TB, or Help/Restart with add-ons disabled.

Hello there Bob136.

just an answer to the situation right now is that it could be that traffic on the internet (Stmp server)could hinder this option? for example, are small messages successful with a large attachment? Or could it not work the other way around?

It is also possible that your antivirus program software has a certain mode for outgoing traffic switched off in this case outgoing mail.


try looking it up and message us back immediately.

for more answers to help you.
