The new version of Thunderbird 11.1 for Android does not import account settings properly, one can only see Outbox, nothing else. I have the latest beta and then tried to import my settings from the beta to 11.1, after importing all i have access to is my Outbox, morning else shows up, no inbox etc at all. Think it's an import bug

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 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.

When composing a new message in Thunderbird, I must either type the full recipient address or manually select a contact; unlike other email clients, it does not suggest addresses from previous correspondence. This omission is both time-consuming and frustrating. Any ideas how to fix it?

Hi, I use TB for quite a while on my pc. Tried to use TB 4 A. I used the import function. Got 3 accts. Scanned the QR code and it seemed to import all of them. But then I noticed the Gmail POP acct was not showing any entries. I got confused, so I uninstalled and then Only imported the Gmail account. Nothing was there in any folder.

Is there a problem with POP? The documentation says no.

Thanks, Sam

I just installed Thunderbird for Android on my Pixel phone for the first time. I have used Thunderbird on my desktop PC for many years, so I am very familiar with Thunderbird in general. I used the "Export for Mobile" feature on my desktop installation, to import my account settings into the Android installation.

For the most part, Thunderbird for Android works great, as I would have expected. However I am seeing a problem which appears (to me) to be a bug. When I compose and send an email on my phone, and then look in the "Sent" folder on the phone, the email that I just sent shows up there. But only on the phone. If I open Thunderbird on my desktop PC and look at the Sent folder there, the email that I sent from the phone is not there. Apparently, it only gets placed in the phone's Sent folder, but it does not get copied to the email server.

A few other details: -- I use Thunderbird on 2 different desktop systems, a PC and a Mac. When I send email from either of those, that email DOES show up in the Sent folder on the other system. Emails that are sent from either desktop system also show up in my phone's Sent folder. So I know that the Thunderbird desktop application does upload the message to the email server's Sent folder correctly. But Thunderbird for Android does not upload its sent emails.

-- I don't know if it matters, but my email server is Microsoft 365, hosted by GoDaddy.

-- As far as I can tell, the most obvious setting for this is the "Upload sent messages" checkbox, which can be found in the "Sending mail" section of "Account settings" in the Thunderbird Android settings. This checkbox IS IN FACT turned on. I could not find any other settings which could possibly affect the copying of sent messages up to the email server's folders.

Is this a bug? Any ideas what might be causing this? Thanks for any help.

Hello, Thanks for the answer to my previous question, but I read "Import settings and data into Thunderbird for Android" - "How To Import from Thunderbird Desktop". Unfortunately I can't "Scan the QR code from Thunderbird Desktop", nothing happens when I "Align the QR code provided from Thunderbird Desktop". I wish you a good day.

I just installed the Android mobile version of Thunderbird. I was wondering if it supports any form/method of SPAM filtering? If so, how do I access/use it?

TIA!

When will TB (or K-9) for ANDROID be able to connect with Hostgator email (IMAP preferably)? I follow the settings for manual set-up that Hostgator provides, and they do NOT work on either of your Android apps. They do work for TB on my desktops (Windows and Linux). And I can use K-9 for other email providers (one of which requiring manual settings set-up too)

It's a known issue on the internet already from my researching.

I called Hostgator, and they said it's a problem on the app side (Mozilla). (Then hung up on me. Smooth.)

Please advise if there's some special setting required. Thx.

I have downloaded Thunderbird Android and want to write an email but my address book doesn't seem to work when I start writing into the address ("to") field. How do I connect my address book to Thunderbird?

The font size settings appear to have been removed from General Settings or anything below that. They can be found using the search function, and they do work when changed, but I've seen the font size go back to default more than once. So, at the moment, they're kind of hidden and ephemeral.

Hello! It seems like Thunderbird must have updated on my phone and somehow my Sent folder is now not only empty but no longer syncs with email account. It worked perfectly fine until just the other day and now I can't tell what needs to be changed in my settings since I don't know what caused the problem! :( I've tried resyncing, cache clearing and force stopping but I can't think of what else I should do. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hello, I stopped seeing sent emails in Thunderbird v. 9.0, Android 14. The email is sent, but not saved in the sent mail. Sending emails via computer (Thunderbird) or after logging in via the web interface works, emails are saved in the sent mail. The problem is only in the mobile application and only for 1 account. The other 2 accounts (gmail and center) work without problems, emails are saved in the sent mail. I tried changing the server settings for sent mail in the given account - without success. Has anyone encountered a similar problem? Thank you

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?

When replying to a message the reply is not attached as a new in a thread. It only show up in Sent folder.This is happening in mobile app despite appropriately working in a desktop version. I don't see any way to change this in folder settings?

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?

I am not a software expert - and don't want to become one - so, please only user-friendly replies and no expert tips...

Hi Have used thunderbird on pc for years no probs. Just downloaded TB to android 14 and swipe options don't work except for delete. How can I get the other options to work? Thanks
