Problem opening mail from remote folder mounted with sshfs
Hello,
I'm having trouble opening mail from a remote folder.
I ran this command to authorize the removable media: sudo snap connect thunderbird:removable-media :removable-media
If I mount my remote folder via fstab with this configuration, I can open remote mail with Thunderbird:
user@server:remote_folder/ /media/user/remote_folder fuse.sshfs noauto,x-systemd.device-timeout=5,x-systemd.mount-timeout=5,x-systemd. automount,follow_symlinks,rw,_netdev,users,idmap=user,uid=1000,gid=1000,IdentityFile=/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa,allow_other,reconnect,ServerAliveInterval=5,ServerAliveCountMax=1 0 0
On the other hand, if I mount the same remote folder with the sshfs command :
sshfs -o idmap=user user@server:remote_folder /media/user/remote_folder -o follow_symlinks
Unable to open mail.
Would you have an idea, please?
Thanks for you answer.
Ubuntu 24.04 Thunderbird 128.2.3esr

Hello The problem lies in how snap packages like Thunderbird manage access to mounted directories. Mounting via fstab integrates with snap confinement, allowing Thunderbird to recognize the folder. In contrast, sshfs mounts may not align with snap's permissions. Stick to fstab for mounting and ensure you run sudo snap connect thunderbird:removable-media to grant the necessary permissions.
