More than 1 attached file overridden by the option "Save all" #10965
Description
Checklist
- I have used the search function to see if someone else has already submitted the same bug report.
- I will describe the problem with as much detail as possible.
App
Thunderbird for Android
App version
18.0
Where did you get the app from?
F-Droid
Android version
16.0 - LineageOS
Device model
No response
Steps to reproduce
- Write a new email
- Attach more than 1 file (for example 3 files with the same extension type: text_1.txt, text_2.txt, text_3.txt)
- Write your subject and body content
- Send it to yourself
- Once received, open it and click on the attachments button "View all"
- Your three files will be listed at the bottom popup that appears. Click on "Save all"
- Select a folder destination and save them
- Now open your folder explorer and check the three files... all three are the same (same size, same content). Thunderbird saved correctly the third one, but the first and the second file are just a copy of the third one (renamed).
Expected behavior
I expect to save all my attachments with the original content
Actual behavior
Thunderbird corrupts attachments files when you download more than two files using the option "Save all".
But if I download them individually (not clicking on "Save all") the files keep the original content and works as expected.

I'm able to replicate the issue outlined by the OP.

I have the same problem; also newest app version (18.0) on android 16 (samsung). Multiple different attachment files (in my case it was images) will arbitrarily turn into one of the attachments. But the filenames of the copies will be the same as the original ones shown in the mail.

From the changelog, this is reported as fixed in v24.0 - has anyone been able to test and confirm?
dani-zilla commentedon Oct 6, 2026
We tested this when merging this PR and the fix was found to work. Just to be sure, I tested again in our current beta build available on F-Droid (which is v24.0b2, will be v24.0 in release), and it still works. You should see the fix in the latest full release.

It has now landed in f-droid and I can confirm that it works correctly. Thanks to all.
