Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Hello I'm a longtime user and regular supporter of Thunderbird for Desktop. I have installed Thunderbird for Android on my smartphone. I have exported my settings from Thunderbird for Desktop & imported the QR code in Thunderbird for Android. Thunderbird for Desktop asks for a password. Why doesn't Thunderbird for Android ask for a password ? What am I doing wrong ?

Why can't I see my emails in Thunderbird for Andoid ? 

Now when I try to Get Messages in Thunderbird fo Desktop the following message is displayed : "The certificate for mail.first-rate.info is not valid for that server. Someone could bee trying to impersonate the server and you should not continue." So now I can't see my emails on Thunderbird for Desktop. What do I have to do to be able to see my emails ?

I have a Gmail account. I use a Duck Duck email address as my main email & forward to my Gmail. Can.i assume Thunderbird will download all Duck Duck emails as long as they're forwarded to the Gmail account?

I've got a new phone after the last one went missing. I tried to put my usual Virgin Media email onto Thunderbird and get 'authentication failed' I've checked the server name, port and connection security match those on my desktop. Grateful for suggestions thanks

Hey, I changed the fetching mail settings multiple times cause I wanted to fetch more mails than previous. But this lead to nothing... It does not lead to the download of older Mails. Even in the case of local folder size: all Messages and sync messages: from last 6 months no Mails older than some days appear. My Thunderbird-Mobile version is 23.0, the problem was also apparent before the update in version 22.0. My operating system is Android 15

1. I want Thunderbird to automatically erase all but the most recent 250 on my phone as it downloads new ones from my server. As it does so, I do not want the downloaded messages marked as "read" on my server, nor do I want messages erased on my phone to be deleted from my server. (That is all to be taken care of by my desktop email program.)

Phone: Moto g power 5G - 2024; OS: Android 15; Thunderbird v: 23.0 Settings: Fetching mail - Local folder size: 250 messages - Sync server deletions: Off - Mark as read when deleted: Off When I delete a message: Do not delete on server - Erase deleted messages on server: Manually

At present, Thunderbird downloads all the incoming messages and leaves them on, so I quickly find I have 1000+ messages stored on my phone. This eventually slows it's performance notably. I have to manually erase the messages, and then empty the trash, in order to circumvent this problem.

Also, when my desktop downloads the email, many of them are now marked read, even though I haven't read them. I am wondering if Thunderbird for Android isn't marking some or all emails as read on my server as it downloads them to my phone?

I have just downloaded Thunderbird on my Samsung mobile. Incoming emails are not displaying in Inbox. I have tried turning sync off and push on and it still won't work. The only way is to manually sync

I use thunderbird and see emails and content in preview line, but when I open the mail it is empty I don't see anything. All emails are the same. I erase Cache and Clear Data from the App Storage. After that all email are fine but when I receve a nea one is the same: empty. Thunderbird 22.0 on Samsung Galaxy A56G, Android Version 16.

I use a mail forwarding service, Fastmail, used to be Pobox. The entire body of the message is visible in fastmail, if I log in directly to fastmail. I have my fastmail account set to forward messages to a Gmail account, which is linked to my mobile Thunderbird app.

The message header appears in that Thunderbird Inbox, but the body is empty.

I have checked the message size limits in fastmail, gmail, and the Thunderbird app. They are all at least 10Mb.

The particular message is only 3.7 Mb total according to details on fastmail. Also not forwarding as attachment

Where is the message body?

Thank you for any suggestions.

I'm using Thunderbird android app for the first time, and configured my mailbox.org account. Incoming mail appears just fine. I've confirmed my outgoing server settings and I get the message 'Outgoing server settings verified'. But when I try to send a message it just stays in my Outbox. I've tried tapping 'Send message' on the Outbox screen but nothing happens. Any ideas?

Why if you save 2 drafts does the second save wipe out the first? Why is the spell checker used in Write so patchy and disjointed? Why is the select text- cut copy paste- so useless in amending mail?

Why does it somtimes eat emails - they just disapperar.? Why is the share function so limited - docx-

Functionality and usability issue: I use the Thunderbird for Android app as an adjunct to my desktop installation. Recently I had occasion to reply to an email in Android to one "to" recipient and needed to add two "cc" recipients, but found no way to add the cc recipients without deleting the existing cc recipients and having to input the entire (dynamic) group again, but then was also stymied by that. How best to handle this issue?

Other than that issue, the lack of desktop contacts synching, and the lack of spam filtering, Thunderbird for Android has been a huge help, so thanks to the developers for their dedication and hard work.

Hello, when I try to answer a message or forward an e-mail, both the attachment, send and more options buttons are missing. They are there when I compose a new e-mail. What can I do?

My email provider sometimes fails to send mail, so I find the mail that didn't send in the sending box (发件箱; I don't know the name in English), use the "edit as new mail" option in the mail 3-dot menu (there's a pencil icon on the top of the screen, but it has no reaction) and tap send button again. I find that every time I do this, the mail's sender identity is reset to the default identity.

I know my Thunderbird version is not latest and is beta, but I'm hesitant about updating. Is it a bug or designed behavior?

Steps to reproduce: 1. Turn off your device's network. 2. Compose and send a mail with an identity that's not the default. 3. Find the mail in the sending box, and choose "edit as new mail". 4. Hit send button. 5. View mail in sending box, it now uses the default identity.

Thunderbird has stopped receiving emails. I followed the instructions I found. restet cache, I have enough memory, hosting service account space is adequate, checked login credentials (I have been sending and receiving for months with no problems) restarted phone. I am getting no error messages.

This happened with my last email program and I installed Thunderbird after no one could find a problem.

Hi. i am having problems seeing up an email Group. I have carefully set up a new group with 12 members and sent out an email to the members and it arrives only to me. The other members do not receive it. Tried several ways. Please let me know what to do
