Just installed Android version of Thunderbird (have been using Windows version for years). Configured server settings as usual. My ISP is Optimum. I receive messages OK, but sending messages consistently fails. The Thunderbird notification is "Failed to send some messages" "Sender refused". I saw elsewhere that another user had a similar problem with his Optonline mail account, but I did not see any resolution. Also, my Thunderbird Windows client continues to work perfectly with the same Optonline mail account. Any ideas on what to do?

Attempting to acclimate to TB Android after long awaited anticipation!

Where are settings for choosing what folders are included in the Unified inbox?

Currently, it is overwhelming having ALL drafts, sent, received, forwarded et al appearing.

Also, seems I can't really delete a simple email. I delete then it pops back up in Unified box. Apparently, even my trash is included. 🤷

I have yet to find "common" email settings to select and organize folders.

HELP!

Hi,

On my desktop, thunderbird does an awesome job cutting spam. While on the mobile its terrible, not just are most spam mails coming thru but some legit emails are getting flagged. Is there some way to make it mimic the desktop.

Thanks in advance

One feature missing from K9/Thunderbird for android is ability to view the complete email headers and text. Having the option to not only view headers is to view and export the complete email message. Can the developers add that ability in upcoming versions?

Been using K9 for years and now the Thunderbird beta.. Thanks

I've been "sending" e-mail from my Android phone for six weeks now. It looks like it's going out, but it never gets outside the domain.

I found the suggestion that I check my SMTP settings, but I used a wizard within TB for Mac so I cannot find the SMTP settings on the phone.

The wizard wasn't very wizard: I don't have the contacts stored within TB or the mail from my computer or anything. All I can do is receive e-mail.

I really need to get this working. My computer has died, and everything is going via the phone, and I only use e-mail for communication, not voice or text. (Long story, please don't argue with me about that.)

I just updated Android again yesterday, and TB should be upgrading automatically, if I have this thing set right.

Update: I have found the SMTP settings. They look correct.

My sister's e-mail is working, so the problem is definitely with my settings somehow.

Does anyone have any ideas? I really want to stick with TB.

Update 2: I found the debugging settings and turned on extra logging, but I can't find the logs themselves. Could someone point me to them?

I also tried the TB beta because it says explicitly that it does POP3, but that didn't seem to help either.

Now that I can edit my question, how do I delete the answers that are actually just updates?

Update 4: A different app works. I'd rather use TB if it can be arranged, though. . . .

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi,

I have many emails oi my phone and I want to delete 80% of them. How do I do this other than 1 by 1?

Even by date would be okay I guess.

Thanks

I am trying to sign into my Proton mail account. On the Thunderbird app, I tap the Menu and select Settings. Then, I select Add account, type my Proton email address, and tap Next. The "Configuration found" screen is displayed. I proceed to type my Proton password correctly and tap Next. Then, there is an error that says "Checking incoming server settings failed". Does this mean Thunderbird does not fully support Proton mail?

Iam unable to find how/where to create additional folders. With desktop version I have created a number of folders. I like organize and segregate my emails into various groups. Especially the ones I choose to preserve rather than delete.

I'm on a Fairphone 5 and downloaded the beta. I'm getting email notifications finally but for the first few days I didn't get any notifications about emails from the app. Now that I'm finally getting them they're delayed by about 2 hours.

Is there a way to tell thunderbird to refresh more often? Is this expected during the beta or is it a problem my end?

I have Thunderbird desktop. I love it! I recently downloaded Thunderbird mobile. I'm having a problem syncing them. My personal folders don't show on Thunderbird mobile. Please help!

I use the same e-mail address on my desktop and my Samsung android phone. I was told to change my desktop e-mail from POP3 to IMAP which I did and then told by the Thunderbird desktop forum to change also my phone settings from POP3 to IMAP. I was told in order to do that I needed to create a new account first and then delete the old account.

However, when I go into server settings and I put in my e-mail address from my desktop, it states "e-mail address already in use". Clearly I do not want to create a new e-mail address - just use the same e-mail address that is on my desktop so that I can access e-mails on my phone that appear on my desktop. Help please!

Is there a plan to replicate the desktop spam filter in android? My ISP does not filter spam, but the desktop Thunderbird takes care of 95% of them. In Android, they just appear in my inbox and I have to manually delete them. Most days I get around 30 spam emails, ss it's a pain. I'd very much like to have the same experience with spam in android as I have in desktop.

1. how can I use the google (or Samsung) email addressbook in Thunderbird for Android? 2. How can I add more than one email address in an email in thunderbird for android?
