Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

In the older K-9, when one changed the active account, the inbox for the newly selected account would just be shown immediately. No need for any other operations on my part.

Now I have to tap on the inbox to get there. This seems an awful nuisance and offers little to anyone, I suspect.

Is there some way to get the old K-9 behavior?

Thanks!

In V.10, it used to be I had to really swipe all the way left for delete to occur.

Now in V.13 only a small/partial movement deletes.

This is tool easy to mis-trigger. Please go back.

Thanks

I have install Thunderbird for android in a search to change the primary gmail app. I have found a "problem" for me. When I received a mail from gmail or yahoo i don't have any option to delete that email with the help of my watch. I have option to remove(notification) ,mark as read, spam and some others but i don't have the option to delete that email with the watch. I need to go to my phone and delete that email manually from the phone. On the gmail app i have that option.

Tell somebody, to please move the message account number, away from right next to the date, where it seems to be part of the date.

It could be moved over to the left, whether it's this nice big space. How about that?

No, I posted to the ideas forum but there is no moderator, so nobody will ever approve any messages there.

Hello!

Lovely mail app you've built, thank you.

I was just wondering if it's possible to add an inbox zero message/statement/picture when the entire inbox is empty (maybe a toggle for this in the settings) to reward users who finish their inbox, in both Android and Windows version.

Thanks!

For some reason on the app it switches between two layouts for my gmail account. From the photos I attached a drop down menu that says gmail is present in one of them but sometimes when I go to open the app sometimes it will just show it fully with out the gmail part.

If its possible I would like it to now show the gmail drop down menu.

Hello, i work for a Company that recently switched our eMail hosting to BoxMail and this company doesn't have an Android App.

After trying different eMail Client App i selected Thunderbird, BUT THERE IS ONE ISSUE

My BoxMail inbox is divided in a series of Sub-Inboxes where the eMails from Workers of the Company get automatically sorted into.

Thunderbird recognizes and lists these inboxes, in fact it lists them under the inbox

BUT IT DOESN'T INDICATE ME WHERE THE EMAILS HAVE GONE TO to be specific, i get notified when an eMail arrives, and it says in the little Bubble that i have... 36 eMails

But then, in my inbox i have only 7, yet all the SubInboxes still Display ZERO.

I have to enter each Sub-Inbox, and Refresh the Page to show me if there are new messages, and only after i do that, it will display how many unread eMails i have in that Sub-Inbox.

This is overly frustrating and time consuming, because every time i receive an eMail and get notified about it, i have to manually enter each of the 30 Sub-Inboxes i have and Refresh it hoping to find the new eMail Received.

Is there a way to set the Sub-inboxes to Auto-Refresh the eMails within every 10~15 minutes?

Because as it stands, i am losing too much time every day and eventually this will cause an issue that will force me to seek for a different App, and i truly like Thunderbird.

Thank you for your time is helping me solve this matter HAVE A GREAT DAY

Both screen shots below are from the same phone, same TB version, same account, etc. They were taken only a few minutes apart during the same, ongoing, TB session. This is TB 13 off Play Store (not beta).

Quite frankly, I dislike the hierarchical (which I see ONLY on my 2 gmail accounts - not in either Outlook or Yahoo - thankfully) and would much prefer the non-hierarchical all the time as it is consistent across accounts and takes less effort to get at folders like Sent and Trash - which are hidden/buried in hierarchical views.

What I don't understand is why/how the same gmail account shows folders in both hierarchical and non-hierarchical. It was my impression that hierarchical was introduced as an "improvement" at some point between K9 and now. Is this a bug? Am I doing something to make this happen? If so, how can I do it again to make it non-hierarchical all the time :-)

Thanks!

I am in my inbox. At the bottom of the screen is "load up to x more".

Okay that's nice but now I regret having done that. How can I simply get back to the previous state of not having that many messages in the list?

No I don't want to actually delete any messages on the IMAP server.

We read "If you are having trouble viewing the full width of an HTML email in Thunderbird for Android, you can either pinch and zoom or change the viewing mode. "

Well that involves moving back and forth for each and every line.

Sure, blame it on the sender for assuming we have a desktop computer.

But now it's too late, they've already sent it to us.

Gmail gets around this by reformatting the HTML to fit the screen size.

Or perhaps we could be allowed to see the plain text version of a multi-part MIME message, like Roundcube allows us to.

I have been using TB Android for some time now. I saw the update to 11.1 from my current 10.1 this morning. So I jumped on it with excitement! Suffice it to say that, thanks to my rooted phone and Neo Backup, I have returned to 10.1...

My main problems are with the "hierarchical folders" - especially in gmail, which is the only place I see these bad changes (I have outlook and yahoo accounts as well):

1. There should be an option to turn use of "hierarchical folders" OFF in an account. I sure don't see that. 2. If "hierarchical folders" are to be insisted-upon, the state of opened folders in the hierarchy should be persisted - at the very least within a given TB session - but it would be more ideal across TB sessions. 3. If you tap on the un-opened "hierarchy" folder, you get a completely worthless page (see attached). WTH? 4. There should be a way to indicate that a given "hierarchy" folder should NOT be hidden in the drop-down but should be placed at the top, outside the hierarchy. Would would have hoped that the "Show At Top" setting in the Manage Folders would do this, but it does NOT.

I didn't go much beyond this. I realized right then that this was not the update for me. So I tried to use the back button to return from TB to the launcher's home page (so I could go to Neo Backup and recover). Guess what? The back button no longer exits from TB to the launcher in 11.1 as it did in 10.1. I sure did not see this in the release notes.

This is a shame really.

Thunderbird on my Android phone updates to 12.1 today, and now the unified inbox no longer has folders under it. In the attaches screenshot, there used to be folders below "Inbox". I could control which folders from any account showed up there. Now they're all gone. How do I bring them back?

I'm using the Android version and I'm wondering why my folders are inside the Gmail folder.

This means that every time I navigate between folders, I unnecessarily tap on the Gmail folder.

The "Threaded view" option doesn't work, or at least not in the way I expect it to.

I've attached two screenshots of the same conversation, once of thunderbird and once of proton mail. Proton does chain the email thread properly, but in thunderbird it's completely detached.

Email conversations get really painful without proper email chaning/threading, especially if a replyee's client doesn't attach a quote ("> ...") at the end.
