Hi,, I've just installed the Android version and imported my accounts and can receive messages, but can't send them. The outgoing server settings look OK Any ideas?

Hello there I have Thunderbird for Android, version 10.1, and in every folder, all mail, both read and unread, have almost the same appearance. It's not easy to tell which ones in the list are read and which are unread. Is there any setting to turn the unread messages in the folder look highlighted, or more bold, or something different anyway than the rest? Because this way it's very inconvenient, which makes me considering turning back to Outlook. Thanks in advance

Hello guys,

I've been a passionate user of (and advocate for) Thunderbird for more than 20 years now and was quite delighted when Thunderbird for Mobile was launched. At last I could use Thunderbird on my phone and tablet as well as my desktop! I've used Bluemail (the best of the rest in my view) on my mobile for some time and am currently comparing its performance side by side with Thunderbird for Mobile, having just installed the latter. In terms of fetching message I'm actually finding Bluemail much speedier at the moment and don't know why this is so. For example, I can often read incoming emails on Bluemail five minutes or more before they arrive via Thunderbird. So far as I know, I think I've tweaked all the necessary settings on Thunderbird but may be overlooking something. Can anybody suggest a way to speed up Thunderbird? I'm more than keen to keep on using it.

Cheers,

Grant

OK, I give up. As far as I know, my settings for TB for Android are the same as TB for Windows. However, I have 1300 emails in the Inbox in TB for Windows (and can search them), but only about 20-30 in TB for android (hopeless for a search). What am i doing wrong?

The app has been running like a champ, monitoring 4 email accounts. Starting last night, one of my email accounts no longer works. It won't receive incoming email, even after clicking the refresh button, or send email. The other accounts are fine. When using my desktop app, everything works, so it's isolated to the one account on the mobile app. What could have happened to break this? How do i get this working again? Running version 10.1

Hello,

I imported my email accounts from Thunderbird for desktops into Thunderbird for Android. Everything works as expected with my own mail servers, i.e., I can send and receive emails. However, when I try to send an email to t-online.de, Thunderbird refuses to do so. The email remains in the outbox indefinitely, and then I receive an error message stating that the maximum number of retries has been reached. However, I do not receive an error message. The email simply remains in the outbox. I deleted the account and added it again, but the behavior remains the same.

What's strange is that it works without any problems with K9 Mail. Both sending and receiving emails works fine here. What could be the reason for this?

I am using the stable releases of Thunderbird 14.0 and K9 Mail 14.0.

HI I have the latest Thunderbird installed on my Redmi Note 8 Pro (Android 11). When I try to write an email and add an attachment (e.g., a photo), the system file manager opens. After selecting the file, it doesn't appear in Thunderbird. Sharing a file from the file manager via Thunderbird results in the same issue. Only when sharing a file through the system Gallery app to Thunderbird can I attach and send it successfully. In the permissions settings for Thunderbird, I only see options for Camera and Contacts. There is no option for Files and Media. I couldn't find a solution to this problem anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions?

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

Just installed TB for Android on Samsung S24 Fe. Works fine but am unable to exit the application other than forcing phone back to home screen. Have installed on a Samsung tablet and the back button seems to be working OK. Anyone know of any issues with this phone and TB?

Hello, I would like help with my issue of not seeing the e-mails I sent on my mobile device through thunderbird in my "INBOX.1sent" folder nor my outbox. I have no evidence that these e-mails even were sent anywhere. I only see the e-mails that I have sent on the Linux version. How do I access the e-mails that I sent on my android version of thunderbird?

Dear Thunderbird Development Team

I'm a regular Thunderbird user. I'd like to provide feedback regarding security concerns regarding the UI specifications of the Android version of Thunderbird.

Currently, Thunderbird for Android displays the sender's "display name only" on the email list screen, making the sender's actual email address invisible at all times.

I feel this specification increases the following risks, particularly in smartphone environments:

- Anyone can freely forge display names. - Phishing scams posing as financial institutions, e-commerce sites, and official support are common. - Users often rely on the list screen or notifications to determine the content of emails.

As a result, a UI that makes it difficult to determine whether an email is from a legitimate sender at the list screen level can become a breeding ground for phishing scams.

The PC version of Thunderbird allows for detailed header display, etc., and I'm disappointed that the mobile version of Thunderbird, despite being the same Thunderbird, is at a disadvantage in terms of security.

I would appreciate it if you could consider the following improvements.

- Setting to always display "display name + email address" on the email list screen

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.

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
