Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Hi... When i receive a new email it opens up into "Compose" if I was to answer or forward the email and not into "read only mode" Can you help me 😀 Kind regards Kristian

Attempting to acclimate to TB Android after long awaited anticipation!

Where are settings for choosing what folders are included in the Unified inbox?

Currently, it is overwhelming having ALL drafts, sent, received, forwarded et al appearing.

Also, seems I can't really delete a simple email. I delete then it pops back up in Unified box. Apparently, even my trash is included. 🤷

I have yet to find "common" email settings to select and organize folders.

HELP!

Hello. Some emails I get (TP-Link, Google groups) are normal in Thunderbird for PC, but tiny in Thunderbird for Android and normal in Outlook on Android. It's only a few emails - is there a setting in TB for Android I can tweak?

The Delete button (I've just begun using Thunderbird for Android) sends email to Delete-land: gone for good. There is no way to reprogram it to send to Trash. One can, alternatively, hide it on the main screen by setting swipes left and right to None. But it is still there in the Read screen....and potentially dangerous. If you try to set a swipe to Trash rather than Delete, there is no Trash option. So you have to set it to Move and choose Trash each time. This reduces the utility of Tbird Android and means you have to be extra-careful when reading emails.

Also, no way to reduce image sizes (by percentage) when attaching large picture files...unless you reduce them in advance in an image processing program.

I have a custom image for my business email signature on Thunderbird desktop.

Im trying to get Thunderbird mobile to use the same image, or HTML signature when sending business emails from mobile. All i can find is a simple text input box for mobile signature. It doesn't accept html or images.

Help? Thx

I want to create an email signature with an image on my Android device, but I can't upload or insert it! Is there a guide for this? Or is it not possible to insert photos in the Thunderbird Android app, but only text?

In the older K-9, when one changed the active account, the inbox for the newly selected account would just be shown immediately. No need for any other operations on my part.

Now I have to tap on the inbox to get there. This seems an awful nuisance and offers little to anyone, I suspect.

Is there some way to get the old K-9 behavior?

Thanks!

The "Threaded view" option doesn't work, or at least not in the way I expect it to.

I've attached two screenshots of the same conversation, once of thunderbird and once of proton mail. Proton does chain the email thread properly, but in thunderbird it's completely detached.

Email conversations get really painful without proper email chaning/threading, especially if a replyee's client doesn't attach a quote ("> ...") at the end.

Hi everyone!!!

I have a Hotmail.com account, and there i have a folder created under Inbox (let's say, Receipts).

In Thunderbird for Android, in Manage Folders, i can select the Receipts folder to "Show folder", and "Show First", but in the folder tree (when i select the account), the "Inbox" folders is shown (see attached image).

In that place where it says Inbox, is there a way to see the "Receipts" folder directly?

Best regards!!!

Android 13. Just installed Thunderbird 9.0 to use with my new email account. I can send and receive (IMAP) emails OK. However there is no notification anywhere that I have a new email, even after waiting an hour or 2. I need this before I change to the new email.

I have searched here and elsewhere, found various suggestions but none have worked for me.

If you can help, please write clearly- most of the stuff I have read is in Android-speak which I don't understand. Thanks.

The font size settings appear to have been removed from General Settings or anything below that. They can be found using the search function, and they do work when changed, but I've seen the font size go back to default more than once. So, at the moment, they're kind of hidden and ephemeral.

The automated email from one sender states in the Inbox summary that the email client does not support HTML (TB app for Android). Presumably the message format is changed accordingly. I don't see a setting for incoming email formatting. Can you help? Inbox summary view and partial view of opened message below.

I have install Thunderbird for android in a search to change the primary gmail app. I have found a "problem" for me. When I received a mail from gmail or yahoo i don't have any option to delete that email with the help of my watch. I have option to remove(notification) ,mark as read, spam and some others but i don't have the option to delete that email with the watch. I need to go to my phone and delete that email manually from the phone. On the gmail app i have that option.

Ich habe Thunderbird als Standard-App für E-Mail eingestellt und Gmail dafür abgewählt. Doch wenn ich einen E-Mail-Link klicke, sprich tippe, gibt es entweder gar keine Reaktion oder Gmail will den Link öffnen. "Rechtsklick", sprich langes Tippen funktioniert. --

I have toggled thunderbird as standard and gmail off. But either there is no reaction at all, if I click an email link, or gmail wants to open it.
