Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Hi, the android Thunderbird mobile app shows all email accounts in one folder and is very confusing!

is it possible to view each email account in a separate folder? thank you

Device: Google Pixel 10 XL, Android 17 App: Thunderbird Beta for Android 24.0b2 Desktop: Thunderbird 157.0.1 (64-bit, release channel)

I imported my eight accounts from Thunderbird Desktop using Tools > Export for Mobile and scanned the QR codes in the beta app. The scan worked and the accounts imported, but setup had several confusing steps:

1. For each Google account, an Android screen appeared saying "select which apps to restore", as if I were setting up a new phone. I didn't know what to select, so I skipped it each time. 2. After skipping, a blank accounts.google.com page appeared. I never saw a normal Google permission screen. 3. After the last account, the app showed a screen asking me to enter an email address and would not let me continue. When I pressed back and reopened the app, all accounts were there and receiving mail, so it seems to be a leftover add-account prompt after a successful import.

For comparison, with the stable app, the same accounts imported into K-9 Mail with the same kind of QR code with no restore-apps screen, no blank page, and no extra prompt. Gmail accounts signed in normally.

The accounts work, so this is about confusing setup steps rather than lost data.

Expected: Google accounts sign in through the normal permission flow without the Android restore-apps screen, and the app goes to the inbox after import without asking for another account.

hello, having trouble ading matthew714.com to my aol account on a samsung android phone...it is asking for a password...it won't take the p/w I use for my thankslord4me@aol.com account

Hello everyone,

Summary: I am trying to set up my gmail account on my new phone, but after (what appears to be) successfully logging in, the Thunderbird for Android application does not pull me back out of gmail. Instead, I remain logged in to my gmail account as if in a browser. As you can see from my photos, it takes me to the point where I am truly into my gmail inbox, but I am checking it as if in some sort of outdated browser and not as if in Thunderbird. I am stuck; sitting in my gmail account, logged in; able to view email, check and change account settings, even get onto other parts of my google account. Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to get back out of my gmail account that returns me to the Thunderbird for Android accounts setup process with a successfully login to gmail. I end up having to hit exit or to close the app, which causes the account setup to fail.

Expected Behavior: Open the Thunderbird for Android App. Setup new account (gmail which produces an automatically detected OAuth 2.0 method). Give login credentials, gain access to gmail, and then be auto-redirected back to accounts setup process in Thunderbird for Android with full IMAP + SMTP access to my gmail.

Problematic Behavior: Same as above, except I am stuck as if in browser mode. When I exit and thus am returned back to the accounts setup page, I receive a failed notice (see photo). Immediately afterward, I tried to setup an account for the same gmail address on an old android phone and successfully logged in as expected. How do I get back to the main accounts dialog with a success?

Notes: The new phone is a linux-based phone (Furilabs FLX1s) on which I have found Android apps to function without hiccup. It seems like In fact, the Thunderbird for Android app itself seems to function fine. It doesn't crash. It allows me to navigate through the app menus flawlessly.

Thanks for the help!

As of recently I can not use the "Empty Spam" or "Empty Trash" options I have to literally select all items in the trash it junk/spam folder and hit the trash button.

Any suggestions?

Running release 21.0

Thunderbird for Android: Microsoft365 Outgoing SMTP auto-filled settings are incorrect and there does not appear to be a way to change them. The "edit configuration" only has a Incoming IMAP configuration screen, not an Outgoing setting screen.

The setting should be SMTP.Office365.com but it configures it as SMTP-mail.outlook.com. It allows editing of Incoming Settings but there is no screen for Outgoing server changes?

It works fine in Thunderbird for Windows with the correct settings stated above.

I have been using Thunderbird almost 30 years.

I have Thunderbird Windows 10 desktop most recent version: 140.12.1esr (32-bit) and Android Thunderbird version 20.1

I have successfully installed a couple of gmail accounts using the QR code. Trying to install other email accounts, I only see the outbox, not any of the message folders.

Is there some trick I am missing here?

Thanks Mike

Greetings,

Question 1: How can I add an HTML signature file for an account in Thunderbird for Android by referencing a file on my phone? Or, something similar that will accomplish the same thing (i.e., HTML email .sig).

Background: In Thunderbird on my Desktop (currently using 140.10.1esr), I can go to Account Settings, select an email account, check the "Attach the signature from a file instead (text, HTML, or image):" and then "Choose..." a file I created on my local machine. My file is HTML (e.g., mysig.html) and references an image (in the same local directory). I want to replicate this in TBA.

Question 2: If there is no way to do this (the functionality is not purposefully there and there is no work-around to fool TBA into behaving properly), is there a place I can submit this request to the developers?

Thanks,

Jarvis

I am a senior who has no desire to be in clouds, social media, etc. I have been using Thunderbird email on my laptop for about a year and a half now. Thank you for allowing me to keep my pop3 account, I have been very happy. I just want to have email on my phone because I like to get notice of email but I like to delete it and collect it on my laptop because it remains on the server. I periodically access the laptop and do all banking, etc. from there. Completely old school with local storage. Everything I have looked up said that I could still keep my pop3 account on my phone. I have a new Samsung A57 that I am trying to set up. The old phone had Outlook but it is locked out so I have to start from scratch. I thought I would rather do that with you than the others that seem to be taking all of our personal data over and leaving us no choice in how we would like to work. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Buongiorno ho cambiato la password della mail certificata ma non riesco a modificarla anche sullo smartphone sul quale gestisco la posta tramite l'app tunderbird .come devoprocedere?

I use the same e-mail address on my desktop and my Samsung android phone. I was told to change my desktop e-mail from POP3 to IMAP which I did and then told by the Thunderbird desktop forum to change also my phone settings from POP3 to IMAP. I was told in order to do that I needed to create a new account first and then delete the old account.

However, when I go into server settings and I put in my e-mail address from my desktop, it states "e-mail address already in use". Clearly I do not want to create a new e-mail address - just use the same e-mail address that is on my desktop so that I can access e-mails on my phone that appear on my desktop. Help please!

Greetings,

For some reason, my TB client has a conflict with my ISP provider with TB and my personal Yahoo account. When I try to authenticate my personal Yahoo account, the authentication box pops up in TB, but it points to my ISP Yahoo account with the login instead of my private Yahoo account login. I have deleted my ISP Yahoo account. Everything was fine last year; now, today, I can't authenticate my private Yahoo account in the Authentication box (screenshot below). It's not giving my personal Yahoo account security. It's giving my ISP provider login, it's Rogers.

Any clues as to why?

Regards, Marko

Would love if someone could please help me with this. It worked perfectly fine adding one Outlook account but this one for some reason just isn't working. It'll bring me to the Outlook sign in to give permissions then throws the error (attached image)
