Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I have used and use Thunderbird on the desktop for decades. It's my primary email application. I've donated to support Module.

I installed the mobile app on my Galaxy Z Fold 7 and connected it to two email accounts: Gmail and my own domain.

My experience has been terrible.

Connecting to Outlook specifically was impossible. The app and Outlook were utterly confused and couldn't authenticate.

Conversation view doesn't work.

Notifications don't work.

Email shows up in the Gmail but not Thunderbird.

With conversation enabled, not only can't you read email as conversations, but basic email history/threads don't appear in messages. If you disable conversation view, then they appear. (That was the biggest warning sign that this app is in trouble.)

I could go on. Using Thunderbird Mobile is like living in the Bizarro universe. IIt pains me to say it, but that's been my experience.

I'm a highly experienced user and developer. I've checked all the settings and rechecked. It ain't me. It's the app.

Uninstalling.

I have just installed Thunderbird for Android on my nearly new Xaomi tablette, and want to sychronise my adresses and some ancient mails that are in sub folders of mail in. Is it possible? I use Thunderbird on my windows mc's since it came out (as with Firefox. Firefox instantly synchronises everything between my 2 windows mc and my Xaomi phone and tablette), Why can't Thunderbird? It has copied the names of the folders but not the files in them!

Hi, It would be great if you could see on an email thread not only what a person writes you but also the answers you have made.

Is it possible?

Thanks

I have K9-mail on Android. Since 1 or 2 weeks my shared inbox is sorted wrong. I have two accounts configured and in each a couple of e-mails each days. When I step into K9-mail the shared inbox shows some actual mails and then their is a gap in time and the next e-mails are from April. If I am looking into the inboxes of each account, it seems to be correct.

Is their a sorting bug in the shared inbox?

I do all my email on my computer but I do have Tbird on my cellphone too, just in case I have to send something. But I never download. So I was in a situation where a government process included 'check your email' and I had only my cellphone with me. So I started downloading: 25 more, 25 more, 25 more ... and a hundred presses latter it's still not finished. Is there some way to reset that? I'm back with my computer and my email seem fine, but the cellphone remains stuck.

I went out of the USA on May to Ecuador and Peru, and on the same day the Android version of Thunderbird stopped retrieving new email from the server. I have used Thunderbird pointed to the same server on Windows 11 and Android successfully for years. I thought it might be something to do with being out of the country, but now I'm back in the USA, and sync account on Android still does not retrieve new mail that has accumulated since May 4th. I've been following my email using a webmail access so I know there's lots of new mail. I've closed and reopened Thunderbird on the Android, and I've tried sync account with the webmail access closed. I have not yet tried Thunderbird on my windows 11 laptop because I'm still not home yet. Any suggestions welcomed, thank you for your help!

I'm coming back to Thunderbird, from bluemail, and was wondering if you could add a feature they had. Essentially, you could tap on the profile icon in the inbox, and you'd get a screen with all the messages you had from that address. From there, you had a button at the bottom of the screen that would open a menu with options to: message, mark all read, and delete all. Theres a confirmation dialog after the delete all option is tapped.

Is this something you could add?

После последнего обновления приложения Thunderbird для Андроид, в аккаунте Yahoo, в папке Удалённые сообщения исчез счётчик сообщений.

Также отсутствует полный счётчик всех имеющихся сообщений в папке Входящие (только 99+).

Something is wrong with Thunderbird. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times. Unable to get inbox emails. Infact no emails are coming. You can see the processing circle working but never completes action. Not sure if I am doing something wrong or the app is the problem. Using Samsung tablet. All apps updated. Please help.

I have Thunderbird on Android 15. I can not move an accidentaly deleted message back to the inbox.

In Thunderbird > settings > general settings > visualization > visible message management (approximate translation from other language) I have selected "move".

I suspect that this is an error.
