Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I tried to activate TB for Android (128 beta) and TB for windows.

I can create the QR code on my computer. When asked on Android to photograph the code, a window for the cam opens and i can see the code but Android does not react and there is no possibilityto manually take a photo of the code.

my phone: realme c55 (RMX3710) Android version: 14

Can anybody help??

Thanks

I am looking to switch from gmail to mozilla thunderbird. I am currently using a chromebook, and can only access the android version. How do I create a mozilla thunderbird email so I can delete my google account?

Hello,

In Thunderbird for Android, I can receive emails without a problem. When I send, the email is copied to the Sent folder, and I don't get any error (no returned email); however, the emails are never received. The issue doesn't happen on Thunderbird Desktop.

My problem is similar to the one described here: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1239518] But I checked the outgoing server's configuration, and it all appears ok.

Thank you

Running on a Samsung Galaxy S21, Android 14, One UI version 6.1. Android security patch Jan 1, 2025.

I've tried both the most recent stable version of the Android Thunderbird app as well as the beta version, both from the play store. Both successfully import from the desktop app using the QR code. At least the process seems to complete without any glitches and my two mailboxes show up on my phone.

I'm connecting to servers at Pair networks, which works from the Thunderbird desktop (Max OS, Sequoia 15.3). I have two mailboxes, both routed to the "unified" view.

I'm pretty sure the mail servers are running IMAP, but there's always room for doubt.

I'm assuming that the little circle of arrows in the menu for the unified view does a manual sync, although I reconfigured the polling for 15 minutes and waited significantly longer than that and still nothing.

I can send e-mails from my gmail account and they arrive at the desktop app in short order but don't get to the Android app. I'm assuming here that both the desktop and Android programs will get all emails...

I am running BitDefender on my phone, although I've tried disabling that and still nothing when doing a manual sync.

It doesn't appear that I can send e-mail from my phone either. Messages just sit there in the outbox, even after clicking "send messages" on from the three-dot menu drop-down. I can send e-mail from the desktop client.

I have the app running on my laptop all this time.

I'm at my wit's end, any suggestions?

Thanks, Erick

I would like to be able to view "only on" email inbox at a time (not the unified) inbox.

This is in my Thunderbird email.

Desktop works this way and is great.

Since the last update of Thunderbird, my mouse is showing a zoom-in icon when attemping to go to an interent link in a mail, rather than the normal "hand" icon for accessing a link. I basically cannot get to the majority of links in my incoming mail now.

In the attached screen pic, see the mouse zoon icon midway above the I and G.

On the android I installed Thunderbird. when I go into the inbox, 1/3 screen shows email list.. 2/3 shows a message preview. I want to remove that preview. I only want to see my emails. I will click on an email if I want to read dit... IT would be fine if I could adjust the preview size but its set at 2/3 to 3/4 of my screen. leaving a tiny column for the emails.

Either adjust preview size, or remove it totally?

Please advise

I have 4 email accounts. I cannot find a unified inbox that they say is available. How does that appear so I can get all incoming emails from all 4 of my accounts in one place?

I'd like to know the relation between K-9 and Thunderbird. I couldn't register to https://forum.k9mail.app to chat as no registration email was sent to me during couple of days since I tried to sign up. I don't want another chat app, like Matrix, I prefer forums. Why thunderbird-android on Github is signed as "fka K-9"? Is K-9 becoming Thunderbird? So why there is Thunderbird beta? Both apps are said to be developed by the same developer on Google Store. I need some additional info before I switch to another all-except-gmail-bloatware email client on a new device.

Hi, i want to export my openPGP key from Android openKeychain to Desktop Thunderbird via the Autocrypt setup message. But the autocrypt file isn't recognized when i click on it on Thunderbird Desktop. I can just download it. How do i open it so that i can write the passphrase and import my openPGP key? Thanks.

On the account selection screen on the Android app, it uses the first two letters of the account name inside the displayed circle so you can quickly select a different account to view. My issue is, two of my accounts start with "sa" and two start with "sj", so I have 2 pairs of duplicate abbreviations. How can I update the abbreviations in this list without renaming the accounts? Hopefully I'm just not finding some easy setting somewhere, but to date I haven't been able to locate it. I'm including a screen shot of the list from my phone, you can see the first 4 entries are 2 pairs of apparently duplicate entries. Please advise!

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

Hello,

Can you please help me and advice how Can I put my sign I'm answer above mail which I am answering to? Now when I am answering, my sign is always atthe bottom of page. First is my answer, then message from sender and then my sign (nobody will see it when there will be lot of mails). Thunderbird for PC is doing it as I want it, but I am not able to set it in android version.

Thank you for help.
