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

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!

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...

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?

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 just installed Thunderbird 12.0 on my Phone (Galaxy Note20, Android 13). Account setting were taken from my Desktop PC using the QR Code. In all three Accounts only Mails in the Main IMAP-Inbox are shown. Subfolders (like "sent" or "drafts") are all found, but the messages inside will not be shown. It will only say "Load more messages" but does not find any. In K9-Maiil 11.1 this still worked, but I had to uninstall it as after the automatic update to 12.0 it suddenly kept crashing on startup.

Already tried to add my main account from scratch on my tablet (with a fresh install of Thunderbird 12.0), but the problem with empty subfolders remains.

Any thoughts on this?

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!

No matter what I do, Thunderbird refuses to push my imap email. I keep missing several important emails. Outlook, Spark both work fine but I hate the ads. Please help me figure out what's wrong. This makes the client unusable.

Hello all,

Thank you for Thunderbird mobile!

I get a message not sent error when doing the following on Android smartphone: - click an email address link - create email opens - send completed email

Expected result: Email goes to outbox and is removed after sending

Actual result: - email stays in outbox and error cannot send is displayed - when moving email to Entwürfe and send again the sending succeeds, but email is present twice in sent folder

Please have a look!

Best regards Gerrit

I've been using Thunderbird on desktop for some time.

Just installed Thunderbird on my Android phone, I can't find the organise, convert to event / task setting.

Is this not available?

Recently thunderbird received an update. I can tell because the colors are slightly different.

Now the "back gesture" I used to close Thunderbird stopped working.

Hi I have had a Samsung-Xcover and now a Samsung S1. In the first one I had Thunderbird with two accounts that worked good and also importet mails from the mailboxes in my computer (not Firefox). Now I'm trying to get the two acounts visible on my new phone but only one appears. When adding a new account the app is circeling without stopping. That one that are ok is: info@orsamoraskating.com That one I want to add is: bjorn@hantverkstan.se

Is there a possibility to do the settings manually? I got all the settings.

I'd expect there to be some way of "only showing unread messages" (just like there is in the Desktop version of Thunderbird), but it doesn't seem to be there?

"Mark as read" is there but a bit well-hidden (swipe left either on an individual message or on a thread) but "View only unread" seems to be missing?

This is the case with both a personal Gmail account and a self-hosted IMAP account. In case it's relevant in the first case there is a "[Gmail]/Starred" subfolder but no "[Gmail]/Unread" one; in the second case the only subfolders are ones I have created myself.
