   Upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04 problems

   From: davey@example.invalid   
      
   I have finally had to take the plunge and install a clean version of   
   Ubuntu 22.04 on my laptop to replace my ageing ver. 18.04. I have   
   several problems that I would appreciate help on. Believe me, I have   
   spent hours looking at Help and Q&A sites, but I cannot solve these   
   problems.   
   Any help would be much appreciated.   
      
   1. I cannot get USB devices to Automount. I have another PC also with   
   Ubuntu 22.04 installed, and it has automounted from the start, with no   
   intervention from me. So why does this one not do the same? I have   
   tried everything described, but it still doesn't work.   
      
   2. Thunderbird. I did not have a full profile backup, but both my   
   accounts are .gmail, and Google automatically filled in my account   
   details from the Google Mother Ship. But:   
      
   2.a I cannot import my Local Folders, and I cannot even create reliable   
   new Local Folders, I can try to copy messages into them from the Inbox,   
   sometimes they appear, sometimes they don't.   
      
   2.b I used to have a bar across the top of the message pane in Classic   
   View, to let me sort by Subject/Sender/Date/ etc etc. I can't find how   
   to do that now, and although there is a dropdown list for Sort, it is   
   stuck on Date, and won't let me change to another sort list.   
      
   Do I need to install Thunderbird another way instead? I followed the   
   instructions as given.   
      
   There are other details that don't work, but these are the three most   
   annoying. I can supply details to help, as far as I understand the   
   questions. I see references to Snap, but I only have a vague idea of   
   what it is, But the folders do not list Thunderbird, but do list   
   Firefox, if that helps.   
      
   Any help much appreciated.
