Forum zhromadźenstwa Thunderbird za Android

I looked up how to import from Gmail into Thunderbird but, after doing an export from Gmail to MBOX, realised the instructions appear to be for Thunderbird for desktop.

I'm using POP/SMTP.

So I have my email sitting in an MBOX file on my phone, but I can't find any instructions on how to import the email to Thunderbird for Android.

I moved to Thunderbird for Android, away from K9mail, because K9 wouldn't seem to download all my messages. Worked fine for a while, then just started downloading one email per fetch even though there were hundreds yet more to download.

I read about the import feature for Thunderbird and so installed onto both PC and mobile phone. Now I can't see how to get the mail onto the phone.

I've been searching for more than 24 hours now for a solution. It probably doesn't help that a search for Thunderbird for Android still brings up solutions for Thunderbird for desktop.

Can anyone here assist?

my email address with BT Internet.com has failed. wording states - 'network error' and also 'connection reset'. bt have stated that the problem is with Thunderbird. can you help please.

Hello all,

thank you for thunderbird! I have a fully functional thunderbird desktop installation w/ gpg smartcard support.

When I want to decrypt the same encrypted eMail on thunderbird mobile I get an "initialization failed" while presenting the NFC smartcard to the mobile phone.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards Gerrit

i know that thunderbird for android works differently than desktop version, that's ok. i ask here to add to thunderbird-android function of backup emails to mbox-file, collect emails from selected server and make backup in mbox file which can than be opened in thunderbird-desktop. i must emphasize, i don't ask that thunderbird-android should be capable of handling mbox-files, this would be pure backup functionality.

Attempting to acclimate to TB Android after long awaited anticipation!

Where are settings for choosing what folders are included in the Unified inbox?

Currently, it is overwhelming having ALL drafts, sent, received, forwarded et al appearing.

Also, seems I can't really delete a simple email. I delete then it pops back up in Unified box. Apparently, even my trash is included. 🤷

I have yet to find "common" email settings to select and organize folders.

HELP!

When I try to set up Thunderbird on Andriod I run into a login issue. The email is actually in Microsoft and Thunderbird/Microsoft wants my Microsoft account info. This is not my email account info and I can't change it. My email address is username@alumni.caltech.edu, but my login name on the server is username@alumni.caltech.onmicrosoft.com. I am able to change it on Thunderbird for Windows desktop and I got it to work in K-9 email a long time ago, but the new Thunderbird for Android is not allowing me to change the login name and insists that I use my Microsoft account info which does not work for this email.

Thank you for your help.

Not getting any mail on my Android devices. Had to get a new Google account as the old was was very screwed up. I have TWO email accounts: GMail and Outlook. Outlookk account forwards all incoming mail to GMail account, so I should get mail only from GMail, but both accounts are set up in TB anyway. Outlook is set up as IMAP. GMail is set up as POP, necessary for some reason GMail setup (gmail.google.com) told me. Something about keeping message on the server or deleting them. Have an APP PASSWORD for GMail account because TB didn't like the POP account. Set up TB on my laptop physically. To speed up rest of work, I used TB "Export to mobile" on my phone and tablet. That's when the problems seemed to start. Finally had to set up TB on BOTH Android devices, which as far as I know, I did correctly. With that background, why am I not getting email on either Android device? Any help greatly appreciated.

This just started happening a few days ago, once I click into an email in the unified inbox it disappears from the inbox. Prior to that the email would remain in the unified inbox showing as read. Now the email will still be in the individual email address inbox, just not in the unified inbox. How do I change this back? I'm running three email addresses through thunderbird.

I wonder if there is an option to show the messages sent by me in a conversation. I could not find any option for this in the settings. If the feature is not there it would be very nice to have it. Thanks.

Hi. How do i change my settings so that I don't need to press "download complete message"? Seems like a 1990s choice to default to not load messages directly if you ask me.

Hello, I have recently installed Proton Bridge on my desktop computer (Ubuntu Studio) so I can use Thunderbird for my Protonmail Account and my Gmail account - that all seems to work fine. I'm now trying to get Thunderbird for Android to add my Protonmail account - it is fine with my Gmail account. I took a screenshot of the error message which I will attach. I tried both my usual Protonmail password and the one given to me by Proton Bridge, neither work. I have a paid subscription. Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

Dodałem swoje konto pocztowe Microsoft z końcówka hotmail.com, do tego konta mam jeszcze alias Outlook.com, ponieważ używam prywatnie i służbowo z różnych aliasów. Po dodaniu konta hotmail, nie mogę dodać Outlook, wyświetla się błąd konfiguracji poczty wychodzącej.

The IMAP server I use has two namespaces that I access using Thunderbird desktop. The first namespace is "/" - effectively "INBOX". The second is a public namespace shared by numerous persons. Let's call it "Public" for purposes of discussion.

Thunderbird desktop correctly identifies that I have access to both namespaces and I can see folders in each. On Thunderbird Android (beta), if I "Auto-detect IMAP namespace" it correctly finds "/" (i.e., my private INBOX) but does not see the "Public" folders. If I turn off "Auto-detect IMAP namespace" and enter the IMAP path prefix explicitly (i.e., "Public") it can then see the Public folders, but not my private INBOX.

The workaround has been to create two accounts in T-Bird Android, one for INBOX and the other for Public. This works, but is not ideal.

Either the "Auto-detect IMAP namespace" needs to be made more like Thunderbird desktop (able to detect multiple namespace paths) or there needs to be a syntax that allows a user to specify multiple paths. E.g., "/;Public" or something like that. Maybe such a syntax already exists? I couldn't find anything in the documentation about it.

Thanks for creating T-Bird Android. With the demise of MailDroid I have moved a bunch of users that I support over to T-Bird Android.

1. how can I use the google (or Samsung) email addressbook in Thunderbird for Android? 2. How can I add more than one email address in an email in thunderbird for android?
