Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Hi everyone!!!

I have a Hotmail.com account, and there i have a folder created under Inbox (let's say, Receipts).

In Thunderbird for Android, in Manage Folders, i can select the Receipts folder to "Show folder", and "Show First", but in the folder tree (when i select the account), the "Inbox" folders is shown (see attached image).

In that place where it says Inbox, is there a way to see the "Receipts" folder directly?

Best regards!!!

I have just installed Thunderbird on my Lenovo tablet. My incoming mail is apparently going into the trash folder. I can't find anything in the settings to redirect it.

I have successfully export and import in thunderbird but unable to access my emails on mobile phone. Please find the attached screenshot where you can see my inbox.It is showing blank even refreshing multiple times. Could you please lrt me know solution over this. My mobile phone is Asus Zenfone Android version 9

Thank you

I use TypeApp on my android phone. If I install Thunderbird (which I have been using for years on my PC--love it, but unrelated to this question) on my phone, can I import everything from TypeApp into Thunderbird mobile and quit TypeApp?

Thanks in advance.

Does Thunderbird support custom avatars or display avatars? If not, will it be supported in the future? I added my QQ mailbox but the avatar cannot be displayed. This is not good. The default digital avatar is not good looking.

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

Having downloaded thunderbird onto my Samsung phone the facility to set up mail server is not available. A default setup appears to have been applied, but i cannot access emails properly. My husband and i share same provider and server. He has a Samsung phone and full access to set ups. However Samsung have replaced your app icon with a different icon but still able to access server settings. Thank you. Please advise. Sue Scudamore

I'd expect there to be some way of "only showing unread messages" (just like there is in the Desktop version of Thunderbird), but it doesn't seem to be there?

"Mark as read" is there but a bit well-hidden (swipe left either on an individual message or on a thread) but "View only unread" seems to be missing?

This is the case with both a personal Gmail account and a self-hosted IMAP account. In case it's relevant in the first case there is a "[Gmail]/Starred" subfolder but no "[Gmail]/Unread" one; in the second case the only subfolders are ones I have created myself.

I have downloaded the Thunderbird for Android app per the instructions for using a QR code. It seems to export and import properly, but nothing appears in the folders. I think this may be an issue with not entering a pin or password for the email accounts. I cannot find anything on any of the help sites that tells me how to open my email account on my phone and enter the password. I also downloaded and exported/imported Thunderbird for android to my Samsung tablet and it works fine. I did have to install it several times, but finally it worked. This is very frustrating. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

In my main email account, I have many folders each with munerous sub folders. In TB for PC, these sub folders can be collapsed into their main folder but in Android, it shows all the folders and sub folders all the time and I can find no way to collapse these sub floders into their main folder. I am a great fan of TB for PC and have used it since the start but android is not so user friendly so may have to go back to G-Mail or Outlook, both of which have the ability to collapse sub follders into the main folder. Can someone help me please.
