Please add an UNDO feature to the Android version.

It has happened to me multiple times that when trying to scroll (esp in the bus) it registers as a swipe & deletes a message.

and then it's really hard to scan the trash to figure out which message it was

at the same time, i don't want to be asked for confirmation *every* time i delete something - I'll spend as much time "confirming" as deleting messages.

So the ideal in an undo button somewhere in the interface where a can undo the last action (from a subset, since I'm guessing not every action can be undone). The desktop version has it, hopefully it can be migrated to the android version.

thank you

Hey everyone,

I’ve noticed that on Thunderbird for Android, some of my email accounts get new messages with a delay of up to 15 minutes. I’d really like to get them instantly (or at least much faster).

A few details: - The email server is my university’s, so it might not have the latest sync features. - I set the folder poll frequency to 15 minutes, and emails do come through fine that way — just too slow. - I also set “refresh IDLE connection” to every 2 minutes. - Running version 13.0 of Thunderbird on Android.

Is there any way to make Thunderbird fetch or push emails instantly? Or is this delay just how it works if the mail server doesn’t fully support push/IDLE?

Thanks for any tips or ideas!

For the past 2 months I've been using this Thunderbird android app. I don't understand why I keep getting multiple mails being received in my inbox of gmail and Yahoo accounts.

I request you to kindly look into this matter.

Rest all good with the email client.

I'm looking for the Thunderbird for Android user manual. Is there something like that available to read? All I found was scattered FAQs.

No, I don't have a specific question. I just want to read the whole manual.

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?

I've been using the Thunderbird App (v12.1) on a Google Pixel 8 (Android 16) for a while now with several Email accounts from different providers. One of them is a T-Online Email address. Recently it appears to have stopped syncing the folders only for this account. I still get emails in the inbox but all the folders are empty. It only says "Bis zu 100 weitere abrufen" (request up to 100 more) but tapping that doesn't make a difference. In the settings I have the sync set to everything without limitation.

I tested the same account with K9 (v11.1) and Google Mail and in both all the folders have their content.

Does anyone have the same issue or any suggestions? Is there any logging that I turn on to see if there's any errors?

Thanks!

When manually refreshing an account, new messages do not appear automatically; you must scroll down to see them.

This is a regression from a previous fix in a version of K9 from a few years ago I believe.

In my Thunderbird client on my tablet (Android), phone (Android), and laptop (Windows 11) over the last week, it has stopped emptying the Trash folder by clicking "Empty". Also, across these platforms the Trash folder will no remain synced, while it appears other system folders remain synced.

As I have not made any client setting changes (prior to troubleshooting this issue), I must assume a recent background change/app update has occured.

Please advise.

Before asking my question, I have to say that I have been extremely happy that Thunderbird introduced their app. for phones. Historically, I have had many problems with my desktop version, and even now there are days that I cannot send e-mails from my desktop, but that's a question for another time.

My question now is, am I somehow able to access my local folders that my son set up on my desktop (in order not to clog up my allowance), on my phone? The local folders are in the menu on my desktop, but not on my phone.

Wenn ich mit meinem Handy Apps öffne, werde ich aufgefordert, einen Bestätigungscode zurückzusenden, der mir per E-Mail zugesandt wird. Habe ich meinen PC dabei: kein Problem. Innerhalb weniger Sekunden erhalte ich den Code. Ohne meinen PC: unmöglich ! Auf meinem Handy erhalte ich die E-Mail erst nach mehreren Stunden. Bis dahin ist der Code abgelaufen, und im Zweifelsfall brauche ich die App nicht mehr. Wenn Sie mir nicht helfen können, die Zeit bis zum Empfang der E-Mails auf "Thunderbird für Android" ebenfalls auf einige Sekunden zu verkürzen, sehe ich mich gezwungen, ein anderes E-Mail Programm zu installieren. Ich war bisher sehr zufrieden mit Thunderbird. Bekommen Sie mein Problem nicht in den Griff, werde ich mit lautstarker Kritik nicht hinter dem Berg halten. mit noch freundlichen Grüßen: Ludger

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.

I have TB Mobile for Android Version 8.2 on my Samsung A54 running Android 14. I have done numerous searches, but can not find any way to move an email that I accidentally sent to Trash or Spam back to Inbox (or any other folder for that matter). Am I missing something or is this feature simply not available?

I can do the above with my Yahoo mail on my A54 which has a menu that lets me move any email from folder to folder.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I'm looking to make Gmail my principal email account, instead of using my ISP account. Gmail requires 0Auth2 authentication, as many will know.

I'm a Luddite and prefer to use POP3, for a number of reasons. Thunderbird works fine (with POP3 Gmail), on my computer. Unfortunately, 0Auth2 doesn't appear as an authentication option, for POP3, in Tbird for Android. So the TB android app forces IMAP on my tablet and phone.

Is there any way around this? Are there any plans to incorporate 0Auth2 authentication for POP3 within Tbird for Android?

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?

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
