Thunderbird 1248.4.1esr (64-bit) error sending message
When I try to send a message with an attachment I receive this error:
"Sending of the message failed. There was an error attaching 006.jpg. Please check that you have access to the file."
The file exists, I have permissions and it does not happen on 115.10.1 (64-bit) I have the two Thunderbirds installed, one is repo and the new one is flatpak (Ubuntu 24.04)
Chosen solution
Latest update:
After unistalling the flatpak version, which was causing the problem, I had the mozilla-team thunderbird-next repo installed:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-next sudo apt update
And created the file:
/etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla
with the contents:
Package: * Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: firefox Pin: version 1:1snap* Pin-Priority: -1
Package: thunderbird Pin: version 1:1snap* Pin-Priority: -1
Installed thunderbird 128
128.4.2esr (64-bit) was installed and the attachment problem gone. This version only allows attachments, not in-line. Do not install it from flatpak
Now everyhing apparently runs as expected.

I have to add that if I select "in-line" instead of "as attachment" only the file name appears at the destination.
The mentioned version 1248.4.1esr (64-bit) corrupted all the previous mail files and I do not recommend its installation or use.
I believe this corruption issue was caused by having the two apps working side-by-side. Probably mail files are not being locked during writing, which allows simultaneous writing, which in turn corrupted the files.
