Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Thunderbird Mobile (for Android) is missing support for iMIP/iTIP (calendar invitation) response emails. For context I will add that in Thunderbird Desktop when a calendar event attendee has responded to an invite the resulting email message shows a highlighted text about the status of the response. There is also a button to either update the event when the response has yet to be processed or show the details of the event when it has been already processed. This capability is missing in Thunderbird Mobile (for Android). Please add it to the feature list as it annoying to have to lay hands on a laptop just to update a calendar event. Thank you.

Hi, I just started using Thunderbird for Android and - so far - I am loving it. One thing I cannot seem to figure out is how to change the color scheme of the widget. Is it even possible to change it? I would like to set it to use the same dark theme I have for other widgets, but the Thunderbird widget stubbornly keeps its white background.

I changed my PW in the Yahoo browser. I'm on a Google pixel. I don't have Tbird on my laptop. I am trying to get back into my Yahoo mail through Tbird, buy don't see a way to change it there

After I read a new message in my Inbox, it seems to disappear from the Inbox. It still shows up in All Mail, and I can find it using the search function, but it no longer appears in my Inbox. Pixel 9a, Android v16 OS. Thanks

Hello, is there any chance that I can connect in the Thunderbird APP on my phone to my 'Local Folders' used in my Home Desktop version of Thunderbird?

For example:

With my Android smartphone I'm connected via VPN to my local network at home.
In the Thunderbird APP on my mobile phone I now would like to connect to the folder "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles..." which is located on my Home Desktop PC to see all eMails stored in this path.

The behavior and funktionality in the Thunderbird APP should be the same as on my Desktop PC.

Hopefully I described it understandable...

Thanks in advance,

Ulf

I have been moving slowly from other email clients to Thunderbird. I've been using Thunderbird in Windows for a while now, and decided recently to switch on Android from BlueMail to Thunderbird for Android.

In Thunderbird for Windows, I am able to use unified folders for all common folders (Spam, Sent, Trash, etc.). On Thunderbird for Android, however, only the Inbox is presented as a unified folder. I have discovered that this limitation is really problematic for me for two reasons.

First, if I am in the unified Inbox and accidentally delete a message, I have to check several different Trash folders to find the lost message, selecting each account and then that account's Trash. I anticipate responses asking why or how I could delete a message and not know what it was. With the avalanche of incoming mail the days, I often would use swipe to delete on the unified Inbox for items that are clearly not important-- but occasionally, a real message appears on the face to be junk and isn't. This is a real hassle, and forced me to turn off the swipe to delete a message interaction altogether, because it was too easy to lose messages.

Second, I have several different email addresses, and several different email providers, each of whom applies spam and trash rules differently. Two in particular frequently divert legitimate email into Spam, and I had been in the habit of scanning Spam for errant valid messages from these two providers. Being able to do this for all Spam in one location made this process much simpler.

Can anyone tell me:

• whether there is some underlying reason for this different behavior on Android,
• whether there are plans to implement such a change, or
• whether there are alternatives (like BetterBird, which does not have an Android port) that I could use?

I have a visual impairment. Iwould like to use Thunderbird for Android but after installation AND BEFORE CONFIGURING ANY EMAIL ACCOUNT, I need to play with it (specially settings), so I can check whether I can use it or not. Things like font size, theme and colors are crucial. But Thunderbird does not allow this. It requires an email account. It is a bit ridiculous, I don-t even know if I'll be able to use it!!!

Can anyone please help?

Thank you so much.

On the PC version you can trust a sender and allow the download of images with that sender's emails The Android version seems to default, sensibly, to making you accept images each time Is this likely to change?

When I launch Thunderbird after downloading an update I get a message that says 'the installation seems to be incomplete. Check your hardware (what hardware?) and disk set up and/or reinstall. How do I check hardware and disk? If i reinstall will I lose my old messages?

I wish thunderbird/firefox would stop behaving as if everyone knows how to repair these things. I still haven't managed to stop thunderbird from asking for and often rejecting my email password, despite two kind people trying to sort it out.

Currently we can send or reply to emails as plain text on Thunderbird for Android. Can we please update it to allow viewing Emails as plain text (disabling HTML) as on the desktop versions of Thunderbird, to allow for easier viewing of emails with formatting?

Hi, great mail client! I have two email accounts and would like to suggest:

(1) Switching from one account to the other takes too many clicks. By using the three lines top left, I would like to get to the ACOUNTS LIST directly. That could be implemented as a switch in the settings or as an own button/icon on the pages of the mail items.

(2) Next to the sub directories I would like to see the number of total mails per folder - not only the new ones. The desktop version has that feature.

Thank you for considering my suggestions. Best regards, Gert1

Looking at the screen, which identity does everybody think this message is going out as?

We observe those three possibilities. See the first image. Apparently the first possibility is the one that is chosen. I'm talking about just an email address with no name.

Okay, in the second image it turns out it was not the first possibility that was chosen it was the second possibility.

However at the bottom of the screen again we see it seems to be saying it was the first possibility.

No I'm not saying I ever expected it to be the first possibility. I'm just saying that this needs all to be 150% more clearer.

I'm not asking any questions I'm actually reporting of bug, yes.

Messages are left there for weeks and weeks without a moderator getting around to approve them. Yes I'm talking about https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/premod/moderationitemspage/tab/unmoderated:idea

I have thunderbird installed on my android phone and my Dell laptop. I want to be able to sync my email accounts so I don't have to delete all my emails in both places. My laptop does not give me the IMAP option, only POP3. Thanks for any advise!!
