Known Issues

Changes to the MAPI interface have caused problems when sending a file from the Windows desktop or a folder via "Sent to > Mail recipient" or via an external application like an office package, for example LibreOffice. To solve this problem, reinstall Thunderbird 60.5.2 from one of these locations:

Files with non-ASCII characters in their name also cause a malfunction. Two alternative workarounds exist:
