Title: Cannot attach Network Shares in Thunderbird Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Suddenly (and I'm not sure if this was after a recent Ubuntu update or a Thunderbird one, Thunderbird no longer shows "Network" locations in the 'Attach File(s)' window. Normally below "Bookmarks" is another section "Network" which shows my network locations, however this entire section is now missing. There is now no way of attaching a file existing anywhere on the network to an outgoing email. Nautilus can see and access all the network locations 100% fine. Drag/drop into the outgoing email from Nautilus will attach a network file to the email but Thunderbird refuses to send it and throws up a "Send Message Error": Sending of the message failed. There was an error attaching smb://mypc/my documents/myfolder/file.xls. Please check that you have access to the file. Attaching network files in Thunderbird and on Ubuntu 14.04 has worked fine for two years. I'm a "user" and really not that au-fait with the inner workings of Linux so I hope this helps.
