Hi,

I host a autodiscover config (config-v1.1.xml) on my local mailserver, when I want to add my local mail account to thunderbird it sees the configuration, but throws an error:

Configuration found This configuration is not trusted.

I host a local CA, and have imported the CA root certificate into the android certificate store. But I don't think this is the problem, because Thunderbird doesn't connect to my imap server prior to throwing the error. (this is working, I can browse the local link without any certificate warning)

This is my config-v1.1.xml:

<clientConfig version="1.1">

 <emailProvider id="home.arpa">
   <domain>home.arpa</domain>

   <displayName>Local email server</displayName>
   <displayShortName>local-server</displayShortName>

   <incomingServer type="imap">
     <hostname>mail.home.arpa</hostname>
     <port>993</port>
     <socketType>SSL</socketType>
     <authentication>password-cleartext</authentication>
     <username>%EMAILADDRESS%</username>
   </incomingServer>

   <outgoingServer type="smtp">
     <hostname>mail.home.arpa</hostname>
     <port>465</port>
     <socketType>SSL</socketType>
     <authentication>password-cleartext</authentication>
     <username>%EMAILADDRESS%</username>
   </outgoingServer>
 </emailProvider>

</clientConfig>

I've tried changing "authentication" to other methods, but this doesn't seem to matter.

Any Idea?

I have just installed Thunderbird on my Android phone and using my desktop Thunderbird exported my email address to the Thunderbird mobile. This worked OK. Just for the record, this is my first time with Android version of the Thunderbird, and I can't find the inbox folder. Could you please guide me how to do it? Many thanks.

When I first open K9Mail 16.0 or after scrolling to the top of the message list, the message does not disappear from the list after I open a message, select move, and choose a folder. The message will no longer be clickable after I do this. However, it will remain displaying in the list until I start scrolling the message list, at which point the list updates and removes the moved message.

Please fix this bug.

Thanks.

Trying to set up thunderbird for android. I use yahoo mail for my ATT accounts. I get the following message when trying to set up Thunderbird for the first time, "incoming server settings failed. Authentication error. LOG IN invalid credentials" I updated my email password and still have the same problem. I do not have thunderbird on a desktop or laptop, or anywhere for that matter. It accesses my gmail accounts just fine. Please advise.

I have used Thunderbird on my desktop PC for many years, and have now installed it on a Lenovo tablet running Android. The setting up was simple (thank you), and I am receiving emails with no problem. I have tried sending emails and they are simple to type up, but there is no visible "Send" button. I have accidentally sent an email successfully, but have no idea of how this came about. Please help me to send emails, as I am very keen to use the tablet fully. Many thanks, Nigel Olliver.

How do I make Thunderbird the default app on my Android 14 phone? It is not in default apps or in the settings menu in Thunderbird on in Apps under the Android settings.

Thunderbird Mobile (for Android) is missing support for iMIP/iTIP (calendar invitation) response emails. For context I will add that in Thunderbird Desktop when a calendar event attendee has responded to an invite the resulting email message shows a highlighted text about the status of the response. There is also a button to either update the event when the response has yet to be processed or show the details of the event when it has been already processed. This capability is missing in Thunderbird Mobile (for Android). Please add it to the feature list as it annoying to have to lay hands on a laptop just to update a calendar event. Thank you.

Hi, I just started using Thunderbird for Android and - so far - I am loving it. One thing I cannot seem to figure out is how to change the color scheme of the widget. Is it even possible to change it? I would like to set it to use the same dark theme I have for other widgets, but the Thunderbird widget stubbornly keeps its white background.

I changed my PW in the Yahoo browser. I'm on a Google pixel. I don't have Tbird on my laptop. I am trying to get back into my Yahoo mail through Tbird, buy don't see a way to change it there

Hi,

I am trying to and failing to get my mail lists into Thunderbird for Android. I have tried lots of searches but can get nothing related to this.

I have imported by settings into Thunderbird for Android but the mail lists do not come across.

I have imported by email addresses into the Contacts app. This was the only way I could find to do this - Thunderbird for Android does not have the facility to import email addresses. Is that right? However, the mail lists do not get exported or imported.

I have manually recreated the email lists in the contacts app. However, if I use Thunderbird for Android and ask to use an address from the Contacts, these are still not showing.

Is there ANY way I can get my mail lists (which I use a lot!) into Thunderbird for Android.

Sorry if there is an obvious answer to this and I have missed and thanks in advance.

Yours,

Alan

Recently, I tried to send an email with a too large attachment and it gave a too large fail message. However, every day I get this fail message (see screenshot). But there is no message in the Outbox or Drafts. How do I stop these attempts to send the message?

After I read a new message in my Inbox, it seems to disappear from the Inbox. It still shows up in All Mail, and I can find it using the search function, but it no longer appears in my Inbox. Pixel 9a, Android v16 OS. Thanks

Recently started using Thunderbird on Pixel 9a, Android v16. Just installed newest update to OS. Emails do not sync properly. New messages that are in my Gmail do not show up in Thunderbird until I do a manual update. This is true for all folders, but especially trash and spam. For example, messages that appeared in my Gmail trash folder this morning did not show up in Thunderbird trash at 7 pm MST this evening. When I did a manual sync, 10 messages from this morning suddenly showed up in Thunderbird. In Thunderbird settings, Background sync is set for Always. What do I need to do?

Hello, is there any chance that I can connect in the Thunderbird APP on my phone to my 'Local Folders' used in my Home Desktop version of Thunderbird?

For example:

With my Android smartphone I'm connected via VPN to my local network at home.
In the Thunderbird APP on my mobile phone I now would like to connect to the folder "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles..." which is located on my Home Desktop PC to see all eMails stored in this path.

The behavior and funktionality in the Thunderbird APP should be the same as on my Desktop PC.

Hopefully I described it understandable...

Thanks in advance,

Ulf

I have been moving slowly from other email clients to Thunderbird. I've been using Thunderbird in Windows for a while now, and decided recently to switch on Android from BlueMail to Thunderbird for Android.

In Thunderbird for Windows, I am able to use unified folders for all common folders (Spam, Sent, Trash, etc.). On Thunderbird for Android, however, only the Inbox is presented as a unified folder. I have discovered that this limitation is really problematic for me for two reasons.

First, if I am in the unified Inbox and accidentally delete a message, I have to check several different Trash folders to find the lost message, selecting each account and then that account's Trash. I anticipate responses asking why or how I could delete a message and not know what it was. With the avalanche of incoming mail the days, I often would use swipe to delete on the unified Inbox for items that are clearly not important-- but occasionally, a real message appears on the face to be junk and isn't. This is a real hassle, and forced me to turn off the swipe to delete a message interaction altogether, because it was too easy to lose messages.

Second, I have several different email addresses, and several different email providers, each of whom applies spam and trash rules differently. Two in particular frequently divert legitimate email into Spam, and I had been in the habit of scanning Spam for errant valid messages from these two providers. Being able to do this for all Spam in one location made this process much simpler.

Can anyone tell me:

• whether there is some underlying reason for this different behavior on Android,
• whether there are plans to implement such a change, or
• whether there are alternatives (like BetterBird, which does not have an Android port) that I could use?
