Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I initially used the K-9 email client and switched to Thunderbird sometime last year. For almost a year now, I haven't received any notifications from Thunderbird when new emails arrive, which I believe worked initially.

Then new emails weren't displayed at all; I had to manually refresh my inboxes and folders. A recent update seems to have fixed at least this issue, as new emails are now available when I open my inboxes. However, I still don't receive any notifications.

I have also checked the notifications settings and the permissions, it is always mentioned that the "Alarms and reminders" permission is required, but I don't have this permission. Reinstall the app and reconfigure from the Windows Thunderbird didn't helped as well.

Specs: Phone is a OnePlus 8 Pro OxigenOS 13.1 Android 13

Any help is very welcome; I don't want to reset the device hoping it will work, only to find out that it didn't help.

When replying to a message the reply is not attached as a new in a thread. It only show up in Sent folder.This is happening in mobile app despite appropriately working in a desktop version. I don't see any way to change this in folder settings?

When I download an attachment, my version wants to print it every time. I suspect it's set to default as a hangover from my previous email program. This means if the phone can't find a printer, it won't download, not much use if it's a pdf ticket. How do I change the settings please?

Hi,

I've recently switched from K9 to Thunderbird. Never had any issues with K9, just liked that Thunderbird was basically the same but without the dated look.

Thunderbird however does not send any push notifications.

What I've done this far: -Re-install Thunderbird -Check if Thunderbird has notification permissions (it does) -Exclude Thunderbird from any and all power management

However, I still have not received a single push notification this far.

Does anyone know a workaround for this? Or is this maybe some kind of bug?

I'm using a Nokia G42 5G with stock Android 14.

I just installed the Android mobile version of Thunderbird. I was wondering if it supports any form/method of SPAM filtering? If so, how do I access/use it?

TIA!

I don't know if I just have something configured wrong or if this is a bug.

In case it is relevant, I originally came from the K-9 app and imported my settings to the new Thunderbird app. K-9 is now uninstalled.

I have more than one account, and each inbox is set to show in Unified Inbox.

When I get any new email for any account, I actually get 2 of the exact same notification for each email. There isn't actually 2 emails with the same sender and subject line, when tapping on either of the notifications the app opens and there is just the one email.

I thought maybe Unified Inbox had its own notification setting which might explain why I was getting notified twice, but if there is I cannot find it.

I could always try removing all the accounts and re-adding them, but since I have quite a few I would like to avoid that if I can (and why I chose importing from K-9 rather than manually adding and configuring each one).

Thanks for any assistance.

I am on old Eudora Thunderbird user and just installed Android Thunderbird.

I have 6 email addresses and view them all in the unified inbox. When scrolling through messages is there a way to configure the headers to show my actual email address as the recipient, rather than just "To Me"?

I realise if I touch To Me it will display the details, but seeing it directly would save a step and avoid mistakes.

One Gmail account imported all of the settings, including the Inbox. The other Gmail account recieves this:

Please sign in We'll redirect you to your email provider to sign in. You need to grant the app access to your email account.

Sign in with Google

Then the following error, as it won't open to Google to confirm (it did with the other account)

Please sign in Oauth sign in failed OAuth 2.0 is currently not supported with this provider Retry

Can I build my own version of Thunderbird for Android from the Github source? There is a (ridiculous) shortcoming in Thunderbird and also K-9 that seems trivial to fix. Indeed, K-9 does occasionally fix it, only to remove the fix in subsequent versions.

I have some experience with creating Windows applications from Github code, but have no idea how to build an Android app ...

Thanks for any thoughts.

I'd like to know the relation between K-9 and Thunderbird. I couldn't register to https://forum.k9mail.app to chat as no registration email was sent to me during couple of days since I tried to sign up. I don't want another chat app, like Matrix, I prefer forums. Why thunderbird-android on Github is signed as "fka K-9"? Is K-9 becoming Thunderbird? So why there is Thunderbird beta? Both apps are said to be developed by the same developer on Google Store. I need some additional info before I switch to another all-except-gmail-bloatware email client on a new device.

What is the Visible Message Actions configuration for? I checked Spam (Delete was already checked) thinking it might make a Spam icon visible when messages are marked in the message list or when a message is being viewed, but I didn't see anything at all that seemed to have appeared as a result of checking that item.

Gear Menu > General Settings > Display > Messages > Visible Message Actions

Is there a way to change font colors and add/remove bold in the signature field?

I tried adding html tags as in Thunderbird desktop but it didn't have any effect.

Hi all

I recently figured out, that the account list has changed. Instead of showing the accounts with their complete e-mail addresses and names, I now can only see a loooooong list of circles with just 2 characters.

I could not find a setting to revert back to my complete list.

The way it has changed is a complete nonsense with my many accounts and all are identical as I guess it is just taking the first 2 chars of the e-mail domain.

How can I get rid of it and again get a list of my accounts as before thx P6

I have my settings to confirm deletion in message view, but not from notifications. I've had to re-set them several times over the past month or so because it keeps changing back to confirm deletion from notifications. I think it's happening when I need to restart my phone, but it does it at random too. How do I fix that?

Installed Thunderbird for android, and the reading font is tiny, how do I change the display font size to one I can see. Disclaimer, I'm an old guy and while I see well overall, the font is SO tiny I have to zoom the screen in to read it.

Thanks
