Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I'm just wondering if it's possible to get a fetch option that happens more frequently than fifteen minutes. On accounts I'm logged into on multiple devices I'll get the email on my iphone app and then I'm waiting for it to pop up in thunderbird on mobile.

I have Thunderbird desktop. I love it! I recently downloaded Thunderbird mobile. I'm having a problem syncing them. My personal folders don't show on Thunderbird mobile. Please help!

Hello everyone,

The current implementation of push notification in Thunderbird keeps a persistent connection to the email servers and consumes a lot more battery/compute.

An alternative idea that is used by some other projects like Bitwarden is a push notifications relay. https://bitwarden.com/help/configure-push-relay/

1. A service running not on the phone keeps a connection open to the email servers. This can be a discrete application and it can optionally be bundled into Thunderbird desktop.

2. A website similar to push.bitwarden.com where users can generate "proxy" tokens for the real push tokens for their installations or maybe we can share the original push token directly instead of relaying notifications through thunderbird infra? I will prefer the latter but I have not thought about the security considerations of exposing the real push notification token

3. The discrete application or Thunderbird desktop can send a message to GCM/APM using the token when they receive an email.

This is the only blocker for me in adopting thunderbird on android and I really want to do it but immediate push notifications that don't impact battery/compute are a priority for me.

If I use Thunderbird for Android to send or answer an e-mail it will be stored in the folder "Sent". That is correct, but I also receive a 100% copy of the e-mail in my Inbox. I cannot find a setting to switch off this behaviour.

Greetings,

Just added Thunderbird for Android and imported my email addresses.

I am not seeing any messages in the unified inbox and only see that folder and the outbox folder. I have 4 different gmail accounts and 1 yahoo account where I have no issues on the desktop side. Android is 14, running on unlocked Motorola Edge+ 2023 and T-Mobile network.

Please let me know if there is anything additional I can supply to resolve this.

Thank you !!!!!!

I recently set up unified mailbox for all my email accounts under manage folders. I activated it for Inbox, sent, and trash but when I go to the unified folder it only show inbox not sent or trash folders. Why? The inbox folder portion is dispalying all messages by color code correctly.

I am using TB mobile version 13.0

I have installed and started using Thunderbird for Android for a few weeks now. I'm loving it. There's one feature I miss from my previous e-mail client. I wish the App had that "Undo" feature where right after deleting an e-mail or archiving it and things like that you can quickly undo the action. In other clients, this is just a small popup that shows up for just a few seconds after you take the action. Many times I find that to be useful when you are quickly going through many spam messages, for example, but accidentally delete one you didn't mean to.

I can't find such a feature. Is it hidden somewhere, if not where can I make a suggestion for the team to add this? Thanks. -Eli

Hello, I just organized Thunderbird mobile on my Samsung tablet. On the desktop, Thunderbird shows a menu and a address book. When I get an Email I can save the mail address in my address book. But, Thunderbird mobile doesn't show a menu nor a address book and it does not use the contact saved at the tablet. Can anyone help me to solve this problem? Thanks a lot!! Regards, Monika

Hallo, kürzlich habe ich Thunderbird mobil auf meinem Samsung Tablet installiert. Leider zeigt die App keine Menüleiste und keine Option eines Adressbuches. Dazu greift Thunderbird auch nicht auf gespeicherte Kontakte zu. Bei der Desktopversion wird sowohl die Menüleiste als auch ein Adressbuch angezeigt. Könnte mir bitte jemand behilflich sein, dieses Problem zu lösen? Vielen Dank! Grüße, Monika

The issue only occurs within the unified inbox. When accessing the inbox of an individual account directly, the problem does not exist. Example: When I am in the unified inbox overview and all emails are unread, I open one of them and then click the back arrow. All emails still appear as unread (bold). The status only changes from bold to normal once I start scrolling. Furthermore, if I open an email and delete it from within the message view, I am automatically redirected to the overview, but the deleted email still appears there. If I click on it again, nothing happens (as it has already been deleted). Again, the email only disappears from the list once I click elsewhere or scroll. This makes the unified inbox unusable for me at the moment, as I have to manually click through each individual account. Has this bug already been reported?"

Hi, I have been using Thunderbird for Android for about a month. Loving it. Easy to set up and use. I have three email accounts. The unified inbox showed all emails until yesterday. Now it seems to be showing random emails from all 3 accounts but not all. I have to go to each inbox to get the full overview. What can be wrong?

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.

Thunderbird android fails to login to outlook account with automatic configuration, which also seems to be the Microsoft recommended. On android 13.

Steps: Add account > enter your_mail@outlook.com > automatic configuration > [Accept] in the webview of microsoft asking to authorise TB

Message popup: Checking incoming server settings failed Server error Server returned the following message: User is authenticated but not connected.

I've used Tbird for PC for years with no problem. A month back, I installed it on my Android, then used the desktop "Export for Mobile" option to recreate all my emails (I have several) on my phone. The setup worked and I receive emails. But realized last week that no one receives emails I send from my phone from my domain emails.

No error messages, no bounces, and email ends up in Sent folder. Plus, bcc'ing myself, I receive them. I double-checked outgoing servers. These match what is on the desktop Tbird.

However, emailing from my gmail account in Tbird on Android works--email received. Just the emails from my domain don't go through.

versions: TB for Android 10.1, Verizon (samsung) android (v 15) set to cellular (vs wifi) for internet, I have emails via my domain on shared hosting service.

See attached image.

Thank you!

Today I am not able to send emails on my phone. Even a simple test msg is met with an alert and an email in the outbox. I have restarted the phone, and also cleared Thunderbird app cache and forced stop. I still get it. I sent emails last night no problem. I am able to send emails using domain webmail and desktop Thunderbird application. This is only on mobile android version 14. Thunderbird 11.1
