Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I've installed Thunderbird on my Pixel 9 Pro. I used my Linux Fedora Thunderbird to generate a QR code to get my Android Thunderbird established. Android Thunderbird is working ok but my contacts from the Linux Thunderbird did not come over and writing emails from there is difficult without my contacts. How do I port over the Linux Fedora Thunderbird contacts to my Android Thunderbird?

I'm now using your android version. I'm a bit disappointed, there's still no contact management. A contactless email program...how stupid! Are you planning to do it soon?

The Thunderbird for Android app on my Moto G 5G has a problem with Gmail. For some unknown reason I am receiving several authentification failed notifications per day sometimes 3 or 4 in a row. I uninstalled the app for now in hopes that maybe someone has an answer to this problem. I have Hotmail, and Yahoo mail also on the app without any problems at all, I followed all of the instructions given when I downloaded the app.

Hello, Very exited to see thunderbird coming to android but I cannot sync all my mails.

I am using posteo and I configure several filters from the posteo website itself so my computer and my phone sort the mail the same way. I don't have any trouble with thunderbird on my computer but thunderbird on my phone only download the mail which are not filters when I ask to check for new messages. I have to go to every folders which are present on my phone and drag down to sync each folder one by one.

Do you have a solution to receive all mails at the same time ?

Thank you, Have a good day.

After many years I see where Thunderbird, I have been using on my Windows 10 for many years, is now available for my S23 I have been using since April 2023. I downloaded Thunderbird from S23 Play store using a USB C wire between my Windows 10 and S23 I get a popup saying "align the QR code provided from Thunderbird Desktop." I have no clue what that means so I called T-Mobile and they have or person I spoke have no clue what I should do. Someone from Mozilla should reach out to T Mobile to explain what to tell its users. What should I do to get Thunderbird on my S23, delete K9 and be happy again? Thanks

Hello, I've been with thunderbrid forever and am a big fan of your desktop version. Yesterday I tried thunderbird for Android beta. So far I need Bluemail on my Android phone and I would like to switch to thunderbrid. But I have a problem with Thunderbird for Android: With Bluemail I can send a mail and it arrives directly on my phone, so without much delay. With Thunderbird, it takes forever until I receive the mail. I could only set Thunderbird to synchronize every 2 minutes. With Bluemail I have an instant push setting, could this be the reason or where can I set Thunderbrid to inform me directly? I hope you can help me, thank you. Yes and the app is already very successful and fast and I hope that it will soon become my standard app. Best regards. Lukas

'I'm attempting to set up Thunderbird on Android. When I creatd the QR codes, there was no option to include passwords. But the accounts are all on the Android device. However, there is no place that I can find to put the passwords in. Where should I find the place for password entry for my Thunderbird accounts on Android?

Is the Account setting "Reply from this identity when delivery headers match" available in the Android version (I could not see it)? If not is it likely to be added? I am somewhat dependent on this having a number of email addresses handled by a single Thunderbird account. Kim

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.

My alumni email account is hosted on Microsoft 360. My email address is xxx@alumni.caltech.edu, but the actual login user name is xxx@alumni.caltech.onmicrosoft.com. When I try to log in with Thunderbird for Android the user name is automatically set to my email address rather than the username specified in the incoming server settings. This field cannot be changed and it prevents me from logging in. Please help, and thank you for all of your fine work.

I've tried to use K9 mail and Thunderbird for Android, and with both have had issues sending an email or replying to one and having my email dropped without any notice. I've found that this happens all the time when I send to my own Gmail account. I can send from Tbird for Android to another of my own domains on Hostgator. I can send from my desktop version of Thunderbird to my android version, and to Gmail. Even if I import the desktop configuration to Android, I can't send from it to Gmail, and no notice of failure comes back. Any ideas?
