Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I’m trying to import my email accounts from Thunderbird on Linux into Thunderbird for Android 23.0. On my Google Pixel, tapping “Scan QR code” briefly highlights the button, but nothing else happens. The camera view never opens and no error appears.

Camera permission is granted. Thunderbird is up to date, and force-stopping and restarting the app did not help. Has anyone encountered this or found a workaround?

Hello,

I'm trying to add accounts through a QR code from Windows onto an old Xiaomi Redmi phone running Thunderbird 23.1 (32). FWIW, it's running a custom ROM with Android 13.

Google didn't help: I find no Settings in the main menu, clicking on "Get started" displays no QR code option, and if clicking on "K-9 settings", I'm prompted for passwords later.

What's a girl to do?

Thank you.

Hello Since I changed my TB Android incoming server setting from POP to IMAP, Android has repeatedly reported app crashes. It asked me to clear cache, which I tried. See img attached. Eventually it said it was putting the app into deep sleep. Yesterday, after I sent an email to a gmail acct I was unable to find a copy of the email in a sent folder, there wasn't any Sent folder. There were only 2 folders, Inbox & Outbox. I expected there to be Sent & Draft folders. Eventually I discovered via Manage folders an Inbox.sent & Inbox.drafts. So I tried to change folders so Sent & Drafts are at the same level as Inbox & Outbox. Yesterday there were approx 26 emails in the Inbox. This morning there are 3 new emails in the Inbox & the 26 emails have disappeared & Inbox.sent, Inbox.drafts have disappeared. The 3rd & 4th attachments show the current folder settings. My TB Desktop incoming server swrting is POP. Please tell me what I am doing wrong & what I must do to be able to see all my emails, received & sent. Thank you

Hello, I was clicking random stuff and i accidentally turned off "Show notifications" in the syncronization thing

and now i can't turn it back on because to access that noticication setting i need the push noticication to send me there, but, you know.... I turned it off and i can't find any other way to access it. In the app settings from my phone's settings it only shows notification setting for any notification, not specific ones.

What do i do now? Please don't tell me i need to re- install it

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 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'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

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 have been trying to set up Thunderbird Mobile on my Android phone. I scanned the QR code to export my settings. However, when I open the app on my phone, the only options I have are "Add an email account", or "Sign in with Thundermail". The instructions state that clicking on "Get Started" should bring up the option to "Import Settings" but it does not.

I should also add, when I try to put in the settings (which I know are correct, same as what I have in Thunderbird Desktop), it comes up with "Checking incoming server settings failed Network error Details: Unable to resolve host "twc.mail.com": No address associated with hostname. I positively know that is correct.

I am aware that Spectrum has had problems. However, it works fine with Thunderbird Desktop.

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!

Hi all I'm banging my head against a brick wall trying to get the app to automatically show remote images. A google search says go to Account settings > Reading mail but this isn't an option in the android app, there is only General Settings and no Reading mail. How can i get my emails to display properly automatically ?

Thanks all, Nick

Getting following error trying to setup my Thunderbird email on my cell phone.

Server returned p-input003.msg.pkvw.co.charter.net connection rejected see www.spamhaus.org/query/ip/18.88.32.140 aup#out-1230

I have spent over an hour with Spectrum and all my server settings are correct. Incoming server connects.

Spamhaus says not block listing for 18.88.32.140 but I can't connect to see why Thunderbird is trying to connect to this site. Spectrum has nothing in their files on this site.

How do I get Thunderbird to go to Spectrum servers instead of this site?

BTW my Gmail account works but I could not get Samsung email to configure either but it didn't give any errors just failed to connect.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! frustrated senior citizen

Within my Outlook.com email account i have an archive folder with 36 sub folders.

In the Thunderbird app for Android only 2 of these sub folders are visible.

I cannot find any setting that to resolve this issue

Thunderbird for Android (unlike the standard Android Email) still does not offer the ability to shrink a photo before sending it. The workaround is so clunky, having to use an Android photo editor to shrink images one by one, especially if one wants to send multiple photos, saving each one and then going back to Thunderbird to send the smaller images. Any idea where this feature is in the development list?
