My email provider sometimes fails to send mail, so I find the mail that didn't send in the sending box (发件箱; I don't know the name in English), use the "edit as new mail" option in the mail 3-dot menu (there's a pencil icon on the top of the screen, but it has no reaction) and tap send button again. I find that every time I do this, the mail's sender identity is reset to the default identity.

I know my Thunderbird version is not latest and is beta, but I'm hesitant about updating. Is it a bug or designed behavior?

Steps to reproduce: 1. Turn off your device's network. 2. Compose and send a mail with an identity that's not the default. 3. Find the mail in the sending box, and choose "edit as new mail". 4. Hit send button. 5. View mail in sending box, it now uses the default identity.

Emptied my trash just this morning. Worked fine. Went to do it tonight, said yes to the confirmation and it just sat there. No deletion. Sent a test message from another acct and that arrived fine, so it's not having problems accessing my server via IMAP.

I am using a Samsung S22 android and Thunderbird 20.1. My email server is Xfinity (comcast.net) and set on imap: smtp.comcast.net; SSL/TLS; port 465; auth: normal password

When outgoing emails are somewhat large, or sometimes for no reason at all, the outgoing emails get stuck in the OUTBOX. No amount of clicking on "Send messages" works, nor does sending them to DRAFTS and re-sending them. They again get stuck in the outbox. I have changed the port #s to no avail. My desktop Thunderbird HAS NO OUTBOX !! Why is that? Consequently, no emails get stuck, no matter how large or small. I've tried everything and searched everywhere.... no help.

Thunderbird has stopped receiving emails. I followed the instructions I found. restet cache, I have enough memory, hosting service account space is adequate, checked login credentials (I have been sending and receiving for months with no problems) restarted phone. I am getting no error messages.

This happened with my last email program and I installed Thunderbird after no one could find a problem.

Hello everyone,

Summary: I am trying to set up my gmail account on my new phone, but after (what appears to be) successfully logging in, the Thunderbird for Android application does not pull me back out of gmail. Instead, I remain logged in to my gmail account as if in a browser. As you can see from my photos, it takes me to the point where I am truly into my gmail inbox, but I am checking it as if in some sort of outdated browser and not as if in Thunderbird. I am stuck; sitting in my gmail account, logged in; able to view email, check and change account settings, even get onto other parts of my google account. Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to get back out of my gmail account that returns me to the Thunderbird for Android accounts setup process with a successfully login to gmail. I end up having to hit exit or to close the app, which causes the account setup to fail.

Expected Behavior: Open the Thunderbird for Android App. Setup new account (gmail which produces an automatically detected OAuth 2.0 method). Give login credentials, gain access to gmail, and then be auto-redirected back to accounts setup process in Thunderbird for Android with full IMAP + SMTP access to my gmail.

Problematic Behavior: Same as above, except I am stuck as if in browser mode. When I exit and thus am returned back to the accounts setup page, I receive a failed notice (see photo). Immediately afterward, I tried to setup an account for the same gmail address on an old android phone and successfully logged in as expected. How do I get back to the main accounts dialog with a success?

Notes: The new phone is a linux-based phone (Furilabs FLX1s) on which I have found Android apps to function without hiccup. It seems like In fact, the Thunderbird for Android app itself seems to function fine. It doesn't crash. It allows me to navigate through the app menus flawlessly.

Thanks for the help!

Pixel 8a, 256GB/120GB free, Android 16, Thunderbird v16.1 Thunderbird stopped sending and receiving emails after several months. My storage is not full. I also deleted messages to be sure. I checked my android settings as indictated in the troubleshooting guides and have been unable to resolve problem. I have it set to automatically download emails. Manually checking emails by using the "refresh" button does not work either.

Obwohl ich schon mehrere Konten die ich auf meinem PC in Thunderbird angelegt habe per QR Code auf mein Android Gerät exportiert habe, erkennt Thunderbird Mobile nun den Code nicht mehr nachdem ich ein neues Konto hinzugefügt habe. Das Konto funktioniert auf dem PC perfekt, lässt sich auf dem Android Gerät aber auch nicht manuell hinzufügen

Transfer from Thunderbire on PC Win 11 to Android version Xiaomi17 smartphone

All the requested QRs are generated but when I frame them with the smartphone camera they are not read and therefore the procedure is not completed. If instead of the camera I use a normal scanner, in this case it reads all the details of the QR. Can you tell me the cause and remedies, Thank you very much. Paolo

Thunderbird for Android: Microsoft365 Outgoing SMTP auto-filled settings are incorrect and there does not appear to be a way to change them. The "edit configuration" only has a Incoming IMAP configuration screen, not an Outgoing setting screen.

The setting should be SMTP.Office365.com but it configures it as SMTP-mail.outlook.com. It allows editing of Incoming Settings but there is no screen for Outgoing server changes?

It works fine in Thunderbird for Windows with the correct settings stated above.

I just downloaded your app (thunderbird) to download some important emails for my lawyer about my SSDI case.

I moved all of the ones I needed to a folder of their own.

I went into your app, found them and apparently clicked something that made them all disappear, it was not "delete" or the trashcan icon.

I've googled and everything I read tells me to go to the trash folder. I do not have a trashcan folder.

Please help.

hi i want to import my settings to my new mobile phone (my previous one is dead) from my lap top, but it's impossible to scan the QR code, it's not scanning thanks in advance for your help

Good morning,

Yesterday I wrote a comment about the Thunderbird app and support asked me to submit a report. I then received an email telling me to open a ticket—I honestly don't know how—or to send an email. Here's my problem:

1) The most serious issue is that push notifications aren't working as described. Specifically, I disabled battery restrictions, selected the primary account, went to folder management, and enabled push notifications in the inbox. I tested it by sending an email, and everything worked perfectly. Then I went to the second account I registered, then folder management, and that's where the problem arises. Regardless of the account I use, it always lets me manage folders only from the first account, and that's a major problem. Despite this, even after 15 minutes or with the app open, I still don't receive emails for the accounts, not even after an hour. I have to force the emails to be received, and then Thunderbird shows them to me.

2) In the combined view, it's not possible to move emails into the folders of the mailbox to which they belong. I'm forced to go into the specific mailbox each time and operate. I've tried various clients, and none of the combined view forces you to go into the specific mailbox.

3) Absurd attachment management. If an email has an attachment, I have to click three times to change the view each time. The first click switches from the combined view to the email, the second click switches from the email to the attachments. The third click finally opens the attachments. Other clients just click on the preview.

I look forward to your feedback. Thank you. Julian

I have numerous Ionos email addresses. No problem seeing all received emails in Thunderbird app on my Windows PC. But Android app does not show some emails, despite synchronising numerous times. Problem is often with emails not showing in the unified inbox on the Android app. Also a problem with sent emails not showing. Today I looked for an email I had sent four days ago, and it was not in my Android sent folder. Synchronised, still not there. Synchronised again, still not there. Went online to Ionos and opened the sent email. Synchronised Android Thunderbird again and then it appeared. Why can't Anroid Thunderbird see certain emails? Problem seems to be especially bad with emails I have previously opened in Thunderbird on my Windows PC. Doing so seems to make the emails invisible to Android Thunderbird.
