Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

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.

Hi all I'm banging my head against a brick wall trying to get the app to automatically show remote images. A google search says go to Account settings > Reading mail but this isn't an option in the android app, there is only General Settings and no Reading mail. How can i get my emails to display properly automatically ?

Thanks all, Nick

Getting following error trying to setup my Thunderbird email on my cell phone.

Server returned p-input003.msg.pkvw.co.charter.net connection rejected see www.spamhaus.org/query/ip/18.88.32.140 aup#out-1230

I have spent over an hour with Spectrum and all my server settings are correct. Incoming server connects.

Spamhaus says not block listing for 18.88.32.140 but I can't connect to see why Thunderbird is trying to connect to this site. Spectrum has nothing in their files on this site.

How do I get Thunderbird to go to Spectrum servers instead of this site?

BTW my Gmail account works but I could not get Samsung email to configure either but it didn't give any errors just failed to connect.

Hi, When my inboxes are unified I see notifications get delay, and When I turned them back to individual inbox view I see notifications delivered at standard interval..

I'm on Android, simply configured Gmail and outlook for Thunderbird.. Sometimes i get delayed notifications - don't know why ??

Sometimes say Microsoft incoming server fetched failed - like that similar it says...

How can I get the notifications at right time.. What would be the settings i should make..

Lately I found that each folder should be configured like [sync to be off] [push to be enable].. I've done that... What else in that menu we should make on/off . [attached screenshot]

I just thiught to have email notification delivered on right time.

I use a mail forwarding service, Fastmail, used to be Pobox. The entire body of the message is visible in fastmail, if I log in directly to fastmail. I have my fastmail account set to forward messages to a Gmail account, which is linked to my mobile Thunderbird app.

The message header appears in that Thunderbird Inbox, but the body is empty.

I have checked the message size limits in fastmail, gmail, and the Thunderbird app. They are all at least 10Mb.

The particular message is only 3.7 Mb total according to details on fastmail. Also not forwarding as attachment

Where is the message body?

Thank you for any suggestions.

When I try to forward an email with an attachment on mobile I get an error that's not fully visible saying "Some attachments could not be forwarded because they have not be...' (I tried rotating the screen to see if it expands but it's the same unfortunately). It works fine on the desktop app, and it also works fine if I manually download the attachment and then draft an email and attach it.

Does anyone know if this is common, or how I can bypass it? I tried but couldn't find any info on this behavior.

Thanks!

I'm coming back to Thunderbird, from bluemail, and was wondering if you could add a feature they had. Essentially, you could tap on the profile icon in the inbox, and you'd get a screen with all the messages you had from that address. From there, you had a button at the bottom of the screen that would open a menu with options to: message, mark all read, and delete all. Theres a confirmation dialog after the delete all option is tapped.

Is this something you could add?

I'm using Thunderbird android app for the first time, and configured my mailbox.org account. Incoming mail appears just fine. I've confirmed my outgoing server settings and I get the message 'Outgoing server settings verified'. But when I try to send a message it just stays in my Outbox. I've tried tapping 'Send message' on the Outbox screen but nothing happens. Any ideas?

Ich habe die Version 22 installiert. Die Signatur hatte ich vor dem Update geschrieben u. eingefügt. Es hatte mir bisher immer die Sig in meinem Format eingefügt. Erst mit meiner kleinen Änderung ging das Format verloren, lässt sich nicht ändern. Egal in welcher Tastatur (gboard od. Samsung), wenn ich versuche einzufügen bzw zu ändern, es wird mir der Zeilenumbruch nur im Schreibmodus im Signaturtextfeld bei der Tastaur nur bei Änderungsversuch des Textes dort nicht mehr zur Verfügung gestellt.

OpenKeychain is a free and open-source Android app that implements the OpenPGP standard. It lets you manage cryptographic keys and use them to encrypt, decrypt, sign, and verify text, files, and messages so that only the intended recipients can read them and so that authenticity can be checked.

It is no longer actively developed for new features (maintenance mode with security fixes only), though a maintained hard fork called OpenKeyRing exists that continues development and adds features such as S/MIME support.

Why if you save 2 drafts does the second save wipe out the first? Why is the spell checker used in Write so patchy and disjointed? Why is the select text- cut copy paste- so useless in amending mail?

Why does it somtimes eat emails - they just disapperar.? Why is the share function so limited - docx-

Something is wrong with Thunderbird. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times. Unable to get inbox emails. Infact no emails are coming. You can see the processing circle working but never completes action. Not sure if I am doing something wrong or the app is the problem. Using Samsung tablet. All apps updated. Please help.

I have Thunderbird on Android 15. I can not move an accidentaly deleted message back to the inbox.

In Thunderbird > settings > general settings > visualization > visible message management (approximate translation from other language) I have selected "move".

I suspect that this is an error.

When reading an email, the "Mark as unread" button at the top does not work. Instead, it closes the email as expected but does not change the status from "read" to "unread". This used to be functional before the most recent update.
