Hello Guys; Since ages I use Mozilla email product (started with Navigator...). And I only use POP3 accounts so I've a lot of emails stored on my computer. Fine. I've imported my settings into Thunderbird for Android with success but this leave the data behind. How could I store my email folder on my phone and where to put it ? Many thanks in advance for your help and have a nice and bright day.

I exported my settings from desktop thunderbird when setting up Thunderbird Android 20 but discovered it was automatically marking messages as read. That makes it difficult to have a peek at messages when I'm out (in case there's something urgent) but still see those messages as unread when I return to the desktop.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1504592 claims to have found the option to do that, but it's an old message that has been archived without ever saying where that option was found. I've tried settings search as well as a visual search of all settings without seeing a relevant option.

Does that option actually exist? Or do I have to go back to K9 (which, at least in v19, had that option)?

Hi. i am having problems seeing up an email Group. I have carefully set up a new group with 12 members and sent out an email to the members and it arrives only to me. The other members do not receive it. Tried several ways. Please let me know what to do

Hello, redminote 12 pro 5G (hyper OS 3.03.0) has permission to use the camera. but when I want to scan the QR code generated by Thunderbird on PC, nothing happens. However, I did manage to import my accounts on a Xiaomi tablet. An idea or an alternative for transferring the accounts? Thank you in advance for your help. PS: My PC is running Linux mint, does it make a difference?

On my Samsung A05 Thunderbird does not show received email dates only the day. This is useless for finding emails going back more than a week or two. I don't care what day of the week it was received, just the date and time. Earlier solution offered (via message lists) not in any of my menus so cannot use. Please advise how to show dates. Current OS Android 15 A055FXXSHDZF1/ A055FOJMHDZF1 / A055FXXSHDZF1 with security patch level: 5 June 2026 Also cannot find support/about option in the settings menu to show the Thunderbird version.

Please add an UNDO feature to the Android version.

It has happened to me multiple times that when trying to scroll (esp in the bus) it registers as a swipe & deletes a message.

and then it's really hard to scan the trash to figure out which message it was

at the same time, i don't want to be asked for confirmation *every* time i delete something - I'll spend as much time "confirming" as deleting messages.

So the ideal in an undo button somewhere in the interface where a can undo the last action (from a subset, since I'm guessing not every action can be undone). The desktop version has it, hopefully it can be migrated to the android version.

thank you

I uploaded the Thunderbird Android App to my Galaxy S24 Mobile Phone and can't get it to show the various Folders (Inbox, etc), nor does it upload my Email Addresses.

Android app. TB version 20: can only see inbox. How do I find trash, spam, and other folders in my account. The app is the current version on Play Store. Tips say go to the appearance menu but I don't seem to have one. Please help. Thanks

I'm using a Galaxy22 and have T/b for Android installed and ready to go. I've followed all the directions to import everything from my T/b on my desktop, which is the latest as I do automatic updates. But when I open T/b for Android, I see something called "unified inbox" with absolutely nothing in it, just a blank screen and a "compose message" icon on the bottom right. Where's my stuff? Please help! I can't handle Samsung email anymore, it won't send out any messages.

The Delete button (I've just begun using Thunderbird for Android) sends email to Delete-land: gone for good. There is no way to reprogram it to send to Trash. One can, alternatively, hide it on the main screen by setting swipes left and right to None. But it is still there in the Read screen....and potentially dangerous. If you try to set a swipe to Trash rather than Delete, there is no Trash option. So you have to set it to Move and choose Trash each time. This reduces the utility of Tbird Android and means you have to be extra-careful when reading emails.

Also, no way to reduce image sizes (by percentage) when attaching large picture files...unless you reduce them in advance in an image processing program.

When manually refreshing an account, new messages do not appear automatically; you must scroll down to see them.

This is a regression from a previous fix in a version of K9 from a few years ago I believe.

Hi all,

Is there a way to export/backup all the emails and folders from an account using Thunderbird for Android? I've searched around and can't find any sign of it, or mention here on support.mozilla.org or elsewhere on the web, so I presume that the feature doesn't exist, however I thought I'd ask here just in case.

My use case is that I've got an old email account which I want to backup before I migrate away from it.

Cheers :)

Before asking my question, I have to say that I have been extremely happy that Thunderbird introduced their app. for phones. Historically, I have had many problems with my desktop version, and even now there are days that I cannot send e-mails from my desktop, but that's a question for another time.

My question now is, am I somehow able to access my local folders that my son set up on my desktop (in order not to clog up my allowance), on my phone? The local folders are in the menu on my desktop, but not on my phone.

i have thunderbird on my pc and i now have it on my android phone the accounts have transfered over with all of the folders but the contents of the folders are missing, they are still there on the pc can anyone help?

I like the platform but am frustrated that my inbound emails and inboxes are only retrieved every 15 minutes for it to check and synch? Can it be set up for immediate reveal of new messages and account synching?
