Hello,
I decided to switch my main computer from Windows to Linux. After
comparing between Thunderbird and Evolution, I went with Evolution
(really liked) and struggled a bit migrating my PST file. Now after
finally configuring my work and personal accounts, when I thought
everything was working correctly I tried to add an attachment to a draft
and got a weird behavior:
* If I click on the "Add Attachment..." button at the bottom nothing
happens.
* If I drag the file that I want to attach to the draft window I get
the error message: "Could not load the attachment. Error when
getting information for file /home/jairolop/test.txt: no such file
or directory". The file exists because I'm dragging it. In fact
thinking that the problem was a long path or filename I created a
simple one at HOME with the same result
Where can I find out the reason adding an attachment is failing? I'd
hate to use Thunderbird instead of Evolution
I'm not completely familiar with either one, but if this is a Snap or
Flatpak package they run in a sandbox which restricts their access to
your files. It sounds to me as if your sandbox isn't allowing access to
your files.
See

There might also be something useful in here, although it seems more
aimed at developers:
