Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

The topic could be settings either if I have not used a setting that I should have. If I delete an email on my PC it does not delete on my phone. However If I delete an email on my phone it also deletes from my PC. I really need this the other way round because I am more likely to tidy up my phone and deal with emails later on my PC. I am only at the beginning of learning to use the features of Thunderbird so any basic help that you can offer would be much appreciated. I set up a filter for a newsletter that comes very often so that I can delete it in blocks when it becomes out of date. I set up a new folder for it in my inbox. This is working well and the new folder and contents appear on my phone and Kindle. However my plan was to be able to read and delete emails from this folder on my PC with the expectation that they would then be deleted from my phone and Kindle. However they are still there. I am sure that there must be a box somewhere that I have failed to tick or untick and so if you could point me in the right direction then I should be most grateful. Thank you Patricia

The new Android version of Thunderbird can't properly send emails to a Gmail address. The emails are blocked by mailchannel.com as having spam content. My host (a2hosting.com) indicates it is a problem with how the email is constructed. This is not a problem for the desktop edition.

I wonder how I can change my password on my thunderbird mobile, I cannot find anything. So I exported my settings from the desktop, but on the mobile the password is still not changed. Thnx for help

I exported the account, but the path to my newgroup is missing. How can i istall the newsreader on my smartphone. Thank you for help Friedrich

I donated and installed thunderbird on my laptop last week. I have donated twice more in the last few days to install thunderbird on my android phone in the last few days unsuccessfully. I do not know what I am doing wrong. Can you help me?

I just switched from Blue Mail to Thunderbird on Android.

First s big thanks for finally making Thunderbird on desktop touch friendly, this was long overdue.

Now to my feature request for thunderbird Android. Please allow (or just enable my default) that the controls to search in mails/delete mails etc are moved to the bottom of the screen so you can easily reach them on as mobile phone (just like blue Mail does it).

Second smaller request: please make the email list less "crowded" somehow the fonts and density are hard to read. Again have a look at blue Mail for how to do this a bit better. Could also be an option.

Hi, I download latest Thunderbird Android version ( dic 2024 ). I have several accounts loaded. When i use unified Inbox i do not see all the emails that it is supposed to be there. I mean all the messages from all the accounts. I know because i go to one specific email account inbox to another and i see messages from today or yesterday and these messages are not on unified inbox. I understand that unified inbox is an inbox for ALL the messages on ALL the accounts, isnt it? Another issue is because the loading of old messages and the search feature related. I dont know why but on a specific inbox, thunderbird android only load a very little quantity of messages ( 20 - 30 ) and no more. And there is not any command to load these month messages, or the prior month message or all the messages from these year, or latest year. There are not these kind of command. So when i do a search on a specific inbox i do not retrive any message because thunderbird android does not retrieve nor load more than just the 20 or 30 latest messages. I see 2 issues to take care on.

Hallo, gibt es bei Thunderbird für Android die Möglichkeit die Mailadresse des Empfängers anzeigen zu lassen? Bei mehreren Mailadressen in einem Konto steht da immer nur an mich und das ist häufig verwirrend. Vorab schon mal vielen Dank für Eure Mühe, Alois

Is there a way to change font colors and add/remove bold in the signature field?

I tried adding html tags as in Thunderbird desktop but it didn't have any effect.

When I send a mail, the sent folder logically shows the recipient. However, if I move a sent mail into, say, a client folder, all I have is a very user-unfriendly header that shows that I sent the mail. Not a lot of help when I move many mails into client folders. There doesn't seem to be an option anywhere to change this.

On PC thunderbird I can remove the "from" column as I know it's from me, and show the "recipient" column. Is this possible on the mobile version of TB?

Two questions, specific to mobile version (no problem with Linux laptop version)

• how to create a folder and subfolder on an imap account ?
• how to mask subfolders (created by other mean) by default ? But to display only in parent vient.

Hi - it was super-easy to export my settings from Windows and import them into Thunderbird Android. The app is much faster than the Gmail app, I do like it. However, I've got a couple of issues:

- deleting a read email (from my inbox) permanently deletes it, it doesn't go to trash. - It appears that there is no address book for this application. Moreover, I can't find a way to have it look at my Google contacts - so I have to lookup and copy/paste my email recipients. I'm sure I am overlooking something. Other posts suggested something from the ... menu when composing, but I don't see an option to select from (Google) contacts.

Thanks for any assistance!
