Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

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!

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.

I'm using the Android version and I'm wondering why my folders are inside the Gmail folder.

This means that every time I navigate between folders, I unnecessarily tap on the Gmail folder.

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!!!

I would like to be able to view "only on" email inbox at a time (not the unified) inbox.

This is in my Thunderbird email.

Desktop works this way and is great.

Hi, I just started using Thunderbird for Android and - so far - I am loving it. One thing I cannot seem to figure out is how to change the color scheme of the widget. Is it even possible to change it? I would like to set it to use the same dark theme I have for other widgets, but the Thunderbird widget stubbornly keeps its white background.

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 have been using TB Android for some time now. I saw the update to 11.1 from my current 10.1 this morning. So I jumped on it with excitement! Suffice it to say that, thanks to my rooted phone and Neo Backup, I have returned to 10.1...

My main problems are with the "hierarchical folders" - especially in gmail, which is the only place I see these bad changes (I have outlook and yahoo accounts as well):

1. There should be an option to turn use of "hierarchical folders" OFF in an account. I sure don't see that. 2. If "hierarchical folders" are to be insisted-upon, the state of opened folders in the hierarchy should be persisted - at the very least within a given TB session - but it would be more ideal across TB sessions. 3. If you tap on the un-opened "hierarchy" folder, you get a completely worthless page (see attached). WTH? 4. There should be a way to indicate that a given "hierarchy" folder should NOT be hidden in the drop-down but should be placed at the top, outside the hierarchy. Would would have hoped that the "Show At Top" setting in the Manage Folders would do this, but it does NOT.

I didn't go much beyond this. I realized right then that this was not the update for me. So I tried to use the back button to return from TB to the launcher's home page (so I could go to Neo Backup and recover). Guess what? The back button no longer exits from TB to the launcher in 11.1 as it did in 10.1. I sure did not see this in the release notes.

This is a shame really.

I am in my inbox. At the bottom of the screen is "load up to x more".

Okay that's nice but now I regret having done that. How can I simply get back to the previous state of not having that many messages in the list?

No I don't want to actually delete any messages on the IMAP server.

We read "If you are having trouble viewing the full width of an HTML email in Thunderbird for Android, you can either pinch and zoom or change the viewing mode. "

Well that involves moving back and forth for each and every line.

Sure, blame it on the sender for assuming we have a desktop computer.

But now it's too late, they've already sent it to us.

Gmail gets around this by reformatting the HTML to fit the screen size.

Or perhaps we could be allowed to see the plain text version of a multi-part MIME message, like Roundcube allows us to.

In V.10, it used to be I had to really swipe all the way left for delete to occur.

Now in V.13 only a small/partial movement deletes.

This is tool easy to mis-trigger. Please go back.

Thanks

On the PC version you can trust a sender and allow the download of images with that sender's emails The Android version seems to default, sensibly, to making you accept images each time Is this likely to change?

I have set all Notifications on (there seems to be a dozen on/off switches) but new emails do not trigger a marker on the Thunderbird logo or any other form of notification I have to open Thunderbird just to get new messages to download Is there a setting I need to change?

1) There is a layout problem in the accounts display on the left hand side, where the email addresses are sometimes obscured by the titles of the pages (see screenshot). 2) Also, is it possible to adjust the labels of so that they reflect the initials of two-word titles? So Websites Wanted would be WW, not WE, and Prague Story PS, not PR? Or even upload avatars instead of lettered labels? Thanks!
