Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Dear all, good evening With Thunderbirb for Android is not possible to read this massage. All other email clients has no problem. I attached picture to see the problem.

Within my Outlook.com email account i have an archive folder with 36 sub folders.

In the Thunderbird app for Android only 2 of these sub folders are visible.

I cannot find any setting that to resolve this issue

Pixel 8a, 256GB/120GB free, Android 16, Thunderbird v16.1 Thunderbird stopped sending and receiving emails after several months. My storage is not full. I also deleted messages to be sure. I checked my android settings as indictated in the troubleshooting guides and have been unable to resolve problem. I have it set to automatically download emails. Manually checking emails by using the "refresh" button does not work either.

Thunderbird for Android: When sending a message, the copy moved to the Sent folder is not marked as "read" after moving. Messages sent from the Android client and subsequently auto-filed into "Sent" or "Sent Mail" are still marked as "unread" after the move. They should be marked as "read" as part of the move, just like with the Windows client. I've searched the various Settings and I can't find any related setting.

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

   Scott Lindley

How do I make Thunderbird the default app on my Android 14 phone? It is not in default apps or in the settings menu in Thunderbird on in Apps under the Android settings.

Recently started using Thunderbird on Pixel 9a, Android v16. Just installed newest update to OS. Emails do not sync properly. New messages that are in my Gmail do not show up in Thunderbird until I do a manual update. This is true for all folders, but especially trash and spam. For example, messages that appeared in my Gmail trash folder this morning did not show up in Thunderbird trash at 7 pm MST this evening. When I did a manual sync, 10 messages from this morning suddenly showed up in Thunderbird. In Thunderbird settings, Background sync is set for Always. What do I need to do?

I have a visual impairment. Iwould like to use Thunderbird for Android but after installation AND BEFORE CONFIGURING ANY EMAIL ACCOUNT, I need to play with it (specially settings), so I can check whether I can use it or not. Things like font size, theme and colors are crucial. But Thunderbird does not allow this. It requires an email account. It is a bit ridiculous, I don-t even know if I'll be able to use it!!!

Can anyone please help?

Thank you so much.

I still don't get links in my emails I have tried everything in the forum but no luck I actually get the expanded version. This is only the case with the android app

Hi All,

I am installing Thunderbird from official GitHub releases and I am wondering why I am getting info from Obtainium that thunderbird-14.0 is something called "pseudo-release".

Can someone explain me this term regarding GitHub apk files? Is it OK to install it?

Regards, Timo

I installed MThunderbird on my Android phone today, using a QR Code to import settings. Receiving messages works perfectly, while sending messages is a mission impossible. I keep getting the message when sending: "Authentificanion failed". I have the same settings on my computer, and Thunderbird works normally, both sending and receiving messages. I don't know where the problem could be, so please help!

I'm also attaching a screenshot of the outgoing server from the desktop computer, which is also set up on the mobile application.

Hi,

On my desktop, thunderbird does an awesome job cutting spam. While on the mobile its terrible, not just are most spam mails coming thru but some legit emails are getting flagged. Is there some way to make it mimic the desktop.

Thanks in advance

Installed mobile android app. Manual configuration as other methods did not work. Email received and all well but the Sent folder contains only recently sent mail, which then disappears leaving the folder empty.

One piece of advice is to check a folder called " copies .... " like repair on Win 10 but neither exist on the mobile app. Any guidance welcome.

My primary email (which has been used as the login email for many, many accounts) is on an email server which only supports TLS 1.0. I have contacted the sys admin before and was told they are planning to upgrade "some day" but that was over two years ago so I'm not optimistic.

I've gotten Thunderbird desktop to work with the account by downgrading the minimum TLS level. Recently, I've started using Thunderbird mobile on my phone (as the latest Gmail app update stopped working with my email account -- no doubt for the same reason) and it was working fine but I just bought a new phone and transferred my apps to it. I set Thunderbird mobile up exactly the same way as I did on my old phone, but it is refusing to sign in, citing a protocol problem (so I'm suspecting the stupid TLS 1.0 issue). I don't understand why this worked on my old phone but not on the new one -- the old one is on an earlier version of Android -- could that be it? (Both versions of Thunderbird mobile say they are version 11.1).

So, what can I do about this? There doesn't seem to be any way to downgrade the TLS version on the mobile software. Spending the next two months going through every account I've opened on the internet and changing the associated email account probably isn't as fun as it sounds and I'm inclined to not try finding out. Persuading my email provider to move into the 21st century is probably easier said than done. If I can't change Thunderbird mobile to fix this, does anyone know of another Android email app which would work? Not being able to access my emails on my cell phone would be a significant issue for me.

One of the recent updates mentioned something about changing the colors for read vs unread emails. Now the contrast between the two states is barely perceptible, whereas before it was fairly clear (at least when using the dark theme; I have checked both themes on the current version and they both suffer). Is there a better forum to provide this feedback?
