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.

I currently have version 12.1 of the Thunderbird Android app. A few weeks ago, the app stopped showing messages in IMAP subfolders. All messages that were there disappeared from view. The messages can still be viewed in the Thunderbird Windows desktop program and in the K-9 11.1 app.

I have a POP3 account setup on my laptop and recently downloaded the thunderbird mobile app for android on my phone. I setup the android mobile app as IMAP to access the same server account as my POP3 laptop. When I look at my thunderbird phone email notifications in the morning, I compare them to the emails in my inbox on my laptop and find that the emails I see on my phone DO NOT show up in my inbox on my laptop ? I thought IMAP was NOT supposed to delete messages on the server when retrieved to my phone. My intent was to just read emails remotely on my phone but leave them on the server. I want my POP3 laptop account to see all of my emails and control whether to delete them or not after reading.

I've been using the Thunderbird App (v12.1) on a Google Pixel 8 (Android 16) for a while now with several Email accounts from different providers. One of them is a T-Online Email address. Recently it appears to have stopped syncing the folders only for this account. I still get emails in the inbox but all the folders are empty. It only says "Bis zu 100 weitere abrufen" (request up to 100 more) but tapping that doesn't make a difference. In the settings I have the sync set to everything without limitation.

I tested the same account with K9 (v11.1) and Google Mail and in both all the folders have their content.

Does anyone have the same issue or any suggestions? Is there any logging that I turn on to see if there's any errors?

Thanks!

Today I am not able to send emails on my phone. Even a simple test msg is met with an alert and an email in the outbox. I have restarted the phone, and also cleared Thunderbird app cache and forced stop. I still get it. I sent emails last night no problem. I am able to send emails using domain webmail and desktop Thunderbird application. This is only on mobile android version 14. Thunderbird 11.1

This is my response to Platform34's message of about 1 hour ago:

Thunderbird on Fairphone 4: Android Ver 11.1, based on K-9 Mail

Thunderbird on Windows 11 PC: Version 144.0.1 (64-bit)

Please say how I should have sent my reply.

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?

Wenn ich mit meinem Handy Apps öffne, werde ich aufgefordert, einen Bestätigungscode zurückzusenden, der mir per E-Mail zugesandt wird. Habe ich meinen PC dabei: kein Problem. Innerhalb weniger Sekunden erhalte ich den Code. Ohne meinen PC: unmöglich ! Auf meinem Handy erhalte ich die E-Mail erst nach mehreren Stunden. Bis dahin ist der Code abgelaufen, und im Zweifelsfall brauche ich die App nicht mehr. Wenn Sie mir nicht helfen können, die Zeit bis zum Empfang der E-Mails auf "Thunderbird für Android" ebenfalls auf einige Sekunden zu verkürzen, sehe ich mich gezwungen, ein anderes E-Mail Programm zu installieren. Ich war bisher sehr zufrieden mit Thunderbird. Bekommen Sie mein Problem nicht in den Griff, werde ich mit lautstarker Kritik nicht hinter dem Berg halten. mit noch freundlichen Grüßen: Ludger

I just updated to K-9 mail 12.0 on CalyxOS 6.10.20 Which is an Android version 15 K-9 mail crashes on startup. Clearing cache does not work. I'm asking here before i clear all data and try again

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?

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

Dear Sir/Madam,

      Have been using Thunderbird since it's inception . I have appreciated the "add-ons" which shrink picture file size in the desktop version. Having used Thunderbird for android for a year now I am most frustrated at the inability to utilise this sort of function on android. An email photograph is so helpful in many situations. Am I missing something or do you intend to implement such a function.
   Kind regards Ian
