Installed Enigmail in Thunderbird a couple weeks ago. Noticed mail transfer item which I did not add in addons or preferences. Last week noticed a huge outgoing transfer of unknown data. Found additional folder in /.thunderbird/user/'pepmda'. Deleted the folder. Within the last three days this folder 'pepmda' has been reconstituted in my users folder and then found in addons 'FileLink for WeTransfer'. It feels like I am being snooped on. OR - Enigmail is automatically reinstalling the addon. OR- I do not know how to properly get rid of this bug. So let me know what is going on. oh yeah, have been using Thunderbird and Firefox satisfactorily for the last ten years enjoying the ups and downs as the support team valiantly crushes bugz and crosses the tape ahead of its competitors. Kudos

Many email servers do not accept messages with large file attachments. The file size restriction varies depending on the mail server configuration. While you might be able to send a message with a large attachment, the receiving mail server might refuse to accept a message with a large attachment. This is all beyond the control of Thunderbird.

2. Thunderbird 60.5 supports Wetransfer for large attachments via the Filelink feature. Configuring Wetransfer was pretty straight forward under Win10, but I cannot configure it under Ubuntu. Is Wetransfer for Thunnderbird FileLink supported under Ubuntu, and if yes, how can i enable it?

Oct 23, 2020 Thunderbird, developed by Mozilla Corporation, is a free, open-source app that allows managing emails, chats, news feeds, and newsgroups quite efficiently. It is a desktop -based application that gives complete control and extensive ownership over the email messages.

Any copy, reuse, or modification of the content should be sufficiently credited to CCM ( ccm.net ). I'm using Thunderbird 68.4.1 (64-Bit) on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Since 2019 it comes stock with 'FileLink for WeTransfer', which I deactived immediately but I'd like to get rid of it completely.

Thunderbird Filelink eliminates this problem by providing support for online storage services. It allows you to upload attachments to an online storage service and then replaces the attachment in the message with a link. The message recipient clicks the link to download the attachment. As additional benefits, sending and receiving large files is much faster and both you and the recipient will save disk space.

Note that you can use Thunderbird Filelink in addition to conventional attachments. For example, you can attach small files directly to a message and use Filelink for large attachments in the same message.

The instructions below show how to configure and use Filelink with the Box online storage provider. We have an agreement with them to integrate their services into Thunderbird as well. (We used to have an agreement with Hightail, formerly YouSendIt). However, the community has been active in adding other providers through the use of add-ons with FileRun, hubiC, Mega, ownCloud-based services, Pydio (formerly AjaXplorer), Synnefo, and ~okeanos currently having add-ons.

5. Click to continue.

If you are creating a new account, a browser window will open that displays the service provider's registration page. Create an account as instructed. The service provider will send you a validation email message. Click the validation link in the message to activate your account. Enter your username (your email address) in the dialog shown above and enter your password when prompted.

In the main configuration dialog, check Offer to share for files larger than and specify a file size (in megabytes) if you want Thunderbird to prompt you to use Filelink when a message attachment exceeds the specified size.

We Transfer Thunderbird

When you attach a file to a message and the file size exceeds the size you have specified above, Thunderbird will automatically offer you the use of Filelink:

To force a file to be attached using Filelink (rather than relying on Thunderbird to determine if the attached file exceeds the specified size), you can click the down arrow next to the button on the message toolbar to access the Filelink menu option.

Click the button to upload the file to the online storage service provider. (Alternatively click to attach the file as a conventional attachment.)

When you select the displayed message will update to:

When the linking is complete – that is your attachment has been uploaded to the service provider – your email will be modified and a block of text and a link will be added to the body of your email as shown below:

When the recipients receive the message, they will see the same information and clicking the link in the message will take them to a download page to download the attachment.

Attachments that you send via Filelink are not stored on Mozilla servers. Each file storage service provider has its own privacy policy and terms of service. The file storage service provider has reviewed the Filelink feature to ensure that it is consistent with their policies.

Q: Does Mozilla know which provider the user has picked?

A: No. Mozilla is unaware of which provider has been selected by a user. Provider configuration is stored on the local machine.

Q: What storage services are currently supported?

A: We have reached an agreement with Box to integrate their services directly into Thunderbird. The agreement with Hightail is no longer valid. You can install support for more providers with add-ons, like:

• DL for Thunderbird may be the best if you prefer using your own server instead of relying on third-party providers.

• Last but not least, you can use Filelink with a WebDAV server with the WebDAV for Filelink add-on.

Q: Can the storage service view my attachments?

A: Unless you encrypt the file before uploading, the storage services will be able to view the file, as will anyone who obtains the link to the attachment. Users must decide on their own which service provider they trust with that responsibility. (Service providers generally explain your privacy rights in their terms of service.) Note that standard attachment functionality is also not encrypted. When you send an attachment the 'normal' way, the file can be accessed by anyone that can access the message between your system and the recipients system (such as your email service provider). Filelink adds some security as file uploads to the storage service provider are sent via HTTPS, a secure protocol.

Q: How long will my file be available on the storage service provider's site?

A: The file will remain available on the storage service provider's site until you specifically delete it. Log in to the provider's website to view and delete the files in your storage space.

Q: Can you support service provider X or protocol Y?

Thunderbird Wetransfer Upload Error

A: We plan to support SpiderOak. We also have an 'Up-for-grabs' project available if anybody would like to add support for more services or protocols. Also have a look at the Developer documentation for the Filelink feature.

Q: I don't like the idea of storing my files with third-parties like this. Do regular attachments still work?

A: Regular email attachments still work the same as they always have. We've just given you the ability to choose to upload large attachments somewhere else, if you wish. Thunderbird's notion of a large file defaults to 1 MB, but can be customized in Thunderbird's Preferences:
