Why do my reply e-mails sometimes say 'attaching' and do not send

I exchange e-mails with some friends who often send attachments like photo's or include web links in the text. Sometimes when I reply I get the message 'attaching' this goes on for ages and ages and I eventually cancel and try again. Sometimes this sends and sometimes it still says 'attaching'. What is causing this?
I noticed in the 'view' menu an item is ticked called 'display attachments inline' is this my problem? I am frightened of changing anything in case I mess it up.
As you can probably tell I am not very computer literate.

In that case your email provider's server is having difficulties to deliver the message to the recipients email provider server.
This has got nothing to do with Thunderbird.
There is little you can do though. You may have the recipient to check with his email provider if they have any issues.

How To reply a mail with an attachment ??

Guys, Help me..
I was wondering, is there a way to reply a mail with an attachement??
I am using Box.net to load the docs. But still searching a way to reply a mail with an attachment.

Don't really know about Box.net, but certainly in iFiles, you just select the file and then 'send as email' and compose your message and send.

My visual voice mail is not working..i have done all the steps that I have seen on here to do. When I call the voice mail it says that there is not a box set up and I need to contact my system administrator.

I have had voice mail set up on my phone for 10 years. When I did the last iOS update before 7 I guess it wiped out my voice mail. Can I not set it up myself? I haven't changed my message in years.

When I attempt to reply or forward email, it says my server does not allow relaying and will not send.

Some ISPs don't really handle you mail, they pass it off to another pipeline. That is called relaying. Some receiving servers will not accept relayed messages, as they are frequently associated with spammers.
In some cases, I understand aol relays within thier own system, confusing the issue a little.
Who is you mail provider? If it is a big name, this should not be an issue. As a test, if you have an alternate e mail account, like gmail, try to send a message from that account and see if it goes through.

Getting returned mail messages for emails I did not send

I've recently started getting returned mail messages for emails I did not send. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

That might be tough to do. Is there a rule I can use to help. The mail messages are so varied.
I'd look at the headers (View -> Message -> Long Headers) to see if there's anything in common, then try to create a rule based on that.
By the way, welcome to Apple's discussion groups.

You do use Siri. Hold the home button until Siri responds and say "Define bottle". Same thing, no?
Hope that helps

I preordered One Direction's new album Midnight Memories, but did not purchase it. It is not in my downloads or purchases even though it says it's purchased. I can't even buy it because it says purchased and will not let me click the button. Please help!

I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas? No problems with the set up previously to this.

Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
Good Luck to you.

Why is my itunes trying to update my iphone and its not connected to the computer?

This would be more for the technical side of the house, but why would the system try to update my iPhone and its not connected to the computer? is there a bug in the system?

Update or sync?
As of iOS 5 updates and sync can be done wirelessly, over Wi-Fi.

There are two entirely different paths involved here; SMTP for send and either POP or IMAP receive. Check your receive path. Confirm username, password and the POP or IMAP server identity. Also check directly with your mail provider, and ensure the POP or IMAP server is functioning and online, and the provider hasn't changed their particular POP or IMAP configuration requirements.
