@u-dal:
thankyou, though I have to say I am at a loss as to why the snap version of thunderbird is trying to access
```
/media/
/media/
```
what kind of configuration have you done? I see you are copying data from /media/
As for why this used to work and doesn't now is thunderbird unless you opted into it (enabled the profile) was not confined. The snap thunderbird is confined and defines down to the file what thunderbird has access to. Snaps however are not under normal apparmor control, and make it some what hard for the user to extend what is allowed.
There are a few things that can be done to work around the issue but I am still trying to understand why thunderbird is trying to access that location.
things we can do to work around this issue immediately, so you can have access to your mail
1. enable snapd prompting in the new security center (its a flutter based application, I am not sure if lubuntu is shipping it by default). If this is a location that falls under what is allowed to prompt (I am not sure it is), snapd we prompt you about allowing the access, store your response and it will be allowed in the future.
2. reinstall thunderbird snap in dev mode
3. manually update the snap profile. There will have to be script that recopies, and reloads, as snap can and will regenerate and reload when it refreshes.
4. uninstall the thunderbird snap and install thunderbird as a deb via the mozilla ppa. You can opt into an apparmor profile if you want, in this case you get full control over the profile.
5. disable apparmor in grub.
