Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Yesterday while using Thunderbird on Samsung android phone the contents of my inbox completely disappeared. I searched Thunderbird's other folders such as Trash, Spam & Archive et al to no avail. This is disasterous for me. I see from a Goggle search that this is not uncommon.

to recreate the issue.. edit IMAP server content, go to existing account on phone and see that latest messages are not in inbox (they are where expected on webmail and TB[win] desktop).

no manner of refresh, load more, clearing app cache & data, uninstalling and rebooting, reinstalling, import settings, or manual settings will restore the correct inbox list. Only the below, and only with the step of local folder size: all, and the following bug of things not changing back to 100 with that further step. Other android mail apps do not have the issue on the same email account.

left hamburger > select account > settings > account settings > fetching mail > local folder size > change to all > accept. back > back > back > manage folders > inbox > triple dot > clear local messages > clear messages. back > back > settings > account settings > fetching mail > local folder size > change to 100 > accept. back > back > back > dismiss side panel menu > load up to 100 more. That loads in the ENTIRE inbox, not just the recent 100, but the list of messages is at least correct.

I resorted to offline archiving older messages with TB[win] desktop to shrink the server inbox sizes, and thankfully I do have plenty of room at the moment on my phone.

it seems that the android app has some cache or local database that does not clear except with the "clear local messages" - and it does so with a setting bug. Android security doesnt allow me to access the root folders of thunderbird on the device, and connecting the phone to pc with usb doesnt give access to that directory either.

android v15. A dovecot index rebuild is not a good answer - as ONLY TB Android is affected.

I would like to set up an automatic reply to a specific email account so that they receive an email from me immediately and their message is moved to a different file straight away.

I have used and use Thunderbird on the desktop for decades. It's my primary email application. I've donated to support Module.

I installed the mobile app on my Galaxy Z Fold 7 and connected it to two email accounts: Gmail and my own domain.

My experience has been terrible.

Connecting to Outlook specifically was impossible. The app and Outlook were utterly confused and couldn't authenticate.

Conversation view doesn't work.

Notifications don't work.

Email shows up in the Gmail but not Thunderbird.

With conversation enabled, not only can't you read email as conversations, but basic email history/threads don't appear in messages. If you disable conversation view, then they appear. (That was the biggest warning sign that this app is in trouble.)

I could go on. Using Thunderbird Mobile is like living in the Bizarro universe. IIt pains me to say it, but that's been my experience.

I'm a highly experienced user and developer. I've checked all the settings and rechecked. It ain't me. It's the app.

Uninstalling.

My incoming emails that contain extended characters like Smart Quotes are rendering correctly in Thunderbird on Windows, but not on Android. Is this a bug, or a wrong setting?

I have just installed Thunderbird for Android on my nearly new Xaomi tablette, and want to sychronise my adresses and some ancient mails that are in sub folders of mail in. Is it possible? I use Thunderbird on my windows mc's since it came out (as with Firefox. Firefox instantly synchronises everything between my 2 windows mc and my Xaomi phone and tablette), Why can't Thunderbird? It has copied the names of the folders but not the files in them!

Hi,

I installed Thunderbird for Android on a Samsung Z Fold 7 with the latest version of Android and One UI. None of my messages show the thread in the actual message nor do they show the conversation view in the message list. All I get is the single message with nothing else included. Conversation view is selected in my general settings.

Please advise.

Environment:

Thunderbird for Android: 24.0 OpenKeychain: 6.0.4 (60400) Android Version: 17 Andorid Build: CP3A.261005.002.A1

When sending a PGP/MIME-signed message from Thunderbird for Android, the OpenPGP signature becomes invalid when an HTML-formatted signature contains markup that enforces line breaks.

A plain newline in the HTML source does not create a visible line break, as expected because HTML collapses whitespace.

However, adding any of the following causes the signature to become invalid:

The first and second are used to create a normal line break and the third is used to create an empty spacing line.

Inline HTML formatting, such as or <a>, does not cause the problem.

Expected result:

HTML line-break elements should be included in the content covered by the OpenPGP signature, and the signature should remain valid.

Actual result:

The message is sent successfully, but the received OpenPGP signature cannot be verified whenever the HTML signature contains markup for a line break or empty spacing line.

The issue does not occur when the signature contains only text and inline formatting. Raw .eml samples can be provided if needed.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a message pop up saying "you are offline".

That way the user would know why constantly tapping the "load 10 more messages" button wasn't working.

In fact pulling down to refresh the message list should also have this check enabled.

What are the arguments against this?

Hi,

I use Thunderbird for Android, version 24.0. It downloads emails and attachments just fine, but whenever I try to use it for more than about three minutes, it will crash and say "Thunderbird is not responding", and I get sent back to the main screen.

I have Android version 16, One UI 8.5. How can I share my logs with you? Thanks.

When I access my email on my computer using Thunderbird, I have it set to downloaded the emails locally and remove from the server. Starting today, WHEN I access my email using Thunderbird in my phone, all the messages are still there, and I have to manually delete them, and they still stay on my computer email app. I need Thunderbird on Android to start removing them again once I clear the server.

Current Thunderbird setup: Computer: Pop3 Phone IMAP

Until last week, I could leave the emails on my phone all day until I accessed them on the POP3 setup on my computer. That would remove the emails on the server and when I went back to my phone, it would show an empty inbox. Now, the emails do not clear out of my inbox on the phone, and I have to delete them manually. This happens on both the production version and the Beta version. Also, accessing via webmail, the inbox will be empty after accessing email on my computer.

Recently (last week or 2), whenever I delete an email, the unified inbox shows an empty display, but, if I select the three lines and go to inbox and select it, all the expected emails reappear.

but ATTmail wants smtp.mail.att.net port 465 and I've not yet found a way to bypass Thunderbird's "I know better than you"

The incoming is correct at imap.mail.att.net:993 Settings for POP3 are inbound.att.net 995 outbound.att.net 465

IMAP was imap.mail.att.net 993 smtp.mail.att.net 465 the last time I set up an Android phone...

How do I bypass the "I know better" process?
