Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I am using Thunderbird on Linux, there is an option to delete mail on trash on exit, and that worked. I don't see such option on the Android version, and the notification did not clear even I deleted all the mail.

Moderator note: This question has been moved from the Firefox for Android forum.

I have unified inbox. If I want to view other folders e.g. sent them navigation is painful. Other android apps make navigation much simpler. Am I missing something

Hello, the address auto-completion is working in the desktop version but not in the Android app. When I start typing an email address, no suggested contacts appear. I haven’t given the app permission to access my phone contacts, but it should still suggest addresses I’ve previously emailed or received messages from. I’m surprised there aren't more questions about this topic — maybe it's just an issue with my device? Thanks for your support. Best regards.

Today the pictures,jpg, stopped opening automatically in Thunderbird mobile. Now there is a View link and its just not good to have to go through the extra steps to see the pictures. It must be an update that broke it because my settings didn't change. Also, It would be helpfull to see date and time of messages instead of day of the week.

After the most recent Thunderbird app update from Google play, the Thunderbird app crashes instantly and constantly on start up. I did restart, uninstall, reinstall, OS update, clear cache, smart clean and still the Thunderbird app crashes instantly on start up. The screen will flash a few times as the app attempts to start. But instantly a window pops up saying the app has unfortunately shutdown. I am at witts end. I have been using Thunderbird for years. Never had this happen before. Anyone have any ideas? Google suggests getting hold of Mozilla support because this is becoming an on going issue. Please help.

When composing emails in Thunderbird for Android, I can't find any options to format text.

I can't select a typeface (even the most basic html tags for serif/sans-serif/monospace aren't available) or even make text bold, italic or underlined.

This makes it very hard to create emphasis where necessary, and it feels like ancient emails from before HTML formatting.

Is there something I am missing, or does this depend on the phone?

NB: I can do this with my messaging apps and the Gmail app, which I prefer not to use.

I am unable to send emails from android Thunderbird, I have something called a unified mailbox plus 2 that have my correct email address. When I send an email it sits in the outbox of the first one with my correct email address and won't send even after selecting send messages. Why do I have a unified mailbox plus 2 others? Thanks

On Samsung S10e, after install of ThunderBird mobile, transfer of email setup from laptop via QR code gets the message shown in attachment when setting up gmail accounts. Laptop has no issues with ThunderBird accessing gmail accounts. Please describe full process to access gmail on TB mobile when this message appears. Thanks, Malc

Currently all the function buttons - delete, move, mark unread etc - are positioned at the top of the Android UI. This makes it necessary to use 2 hands to check emails, which not everyone is able to do. For the rest of us it slows down work flow substantially which is infuriating. Is there any way to move these buttons to the bottom or side of the screen? If not, please add this capability ASAP. I will have to revert to Fairmail until it's fixed.

Any chance in a standalone Thunderbird calendar application to be put into works and have the possibility to be made for Android now that Thunderbird is available on Android as well, as I think it would be really great if I could have the benefits of both the Thunderbird email client and Thunderbird Calendar at the same time which would rival against other apps like Proton Calendar and Tuta Calendar.

It could then be featured on places like:

https://www.privacyguides.org/en/calendar/

https://privacypack.org/

Which would then hopefully increase the amount of people that use Thunderbird products.

Thanks for all the hard work the dev team has done for the Thunderbird email client for Android as i am really grateful for it as I use it as a gmail replacement until Thunderbird Pro is available to get a Thundermail email address, but I noticed a gap in the market for a standalone Thunderbird calendar app for Android and I think it would be a massive missed opportunity!

Hi

 When I use Thunderbird for Android and delete an email it no longer appears in Thunderbird as it should. However if I switch to K-9 Mail it hasn't been deleted. It doesn't matter how many times I try to sync my mailboxes. Is this expected or is something wrong with Thunderbird for Android? If I do the same on Thunderbird on Mac it works just fine. This is currently keeping me from fully switching to Thunderbird for Android on my phone...

Hallo everybody, I replaced my outlook app with Thunderbird and happy with the e-mail function. But I'm desperatly looking for a calender integration. Is there a funtionality I didn't see or do I need to use an add-in? I couldn't find something in the forum yet. Kind regards Oliver
