Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

When moving emails to folders, it is very difficult to find a folder in a long list of folders. Is there a way to mark frequently used folders as favorites so they appear at the top of the folder list?

Whereas on the Thunderbird Desktop software, where each identity on an account can have their own outgoing SMTP server, the Thunderbird for Android app does not have this feature. Why?

I used the "Export to Mobile" feature and got stuck for quite while until i found this out. This help article also only mentions this as a fact, but no explanation or anything. Why is there such a feature discrepancy between these versions? Why is there no warning while exporting that this will be an issue? Will this feature ever be added?

The app itself sorts ubread mail at the top, this is obviously vert useful. What seem strange is that the home screen widget does not do this. That setting would be doubbly useful on the widget where a quick peek to see what is what is the entire point.

Is there a way to configure the widget to also do this type of sorting?

Using Thunderbird for Android on my phone to access several email accounts. But it's not showing up as an option for mailto:: links in Firefox (my default browser).

Is there a setting I'm missing?

Ich habe die Version 22 installiert. Die Signatur hatte ich vor dem Update geschrieben u. eingefügt. Es hatte mir bisher immer die Sig in meinem Format eingefügt. Erst mit meiner kleinen Änderung ging das Format verloren, lässt sich nicht ändern. Egal in welcher Tastatur (gboard od. Samsung), wenn ich versuche einzufügen bzw zu ändern, es wird mir der Zeilenumbruch nur im Schreibmodus im Signaturtextfeld bei der Tastaur nur bei Änderungsversuch des Textes dort nicht mehr zur Verfügung gestellt.

I set the Visible Message Actions to Delete and Move.

But I get Delete and Mark as Unread.

Move is far more important to me than Mark as Unread - why can't I see/control this?

1. 1 there should be an option to put the menu with the delete button at the bottom, not top.
2. 2 Unified inbox is great, but why not unified everything. Unified spam,.sent, deleted etc. Blue mail does it and it's very useful.

Those are the 2 main things. Anything else is not important but nice. E.g.

1. 3 Options for a bit more colour or ability to colour things, like accounts or senders.
2. 4 One click unsubscribe for emails

Other than that it's utterly awesome and feels very stable, unlike the new release of Blue Mail.

I just got a Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ tablet as an alternative to bringing my heavy laptop on an upcoming trip. I've been using Thunderbird on my PC for very many years, and love it.

As seen by the attached photo, I was hoping that TB for Android would work and can be configured similarly as the desktop version, with my multiple email accounts showing up on the left side with the number of emails to be read, and the emails listed on top with the viewing pane on the bottom.

What I don't like is a single screen with all emails shown, not knowing what's new, and in what folder they're in. I've taken great pains to create message filters to sort all incoming emails, sorting emails into separate folders.

Am I missing something, some setting that would allow me to recreate my desktop version on my tablet. I choose the S9 FE+ for it's 12.4" display, so there's ample rook to visualize this desktop setup.

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Bill

Since a few releases, when composing a message and selecting text, the highlight color is invisible in light mode. In dark mode the highlight color is a light blue. Is there a way to change the highlight color in light mode? Thank you.

I have unified inbox. If I want to view other folders e.g. sent them navigation is painful. Other android apps make navigation much simpler. Am I missing something

When composing emails in Thunderbird for Android, I can't find any options to format text.

I can't select a typeface (even the most basic html tags for serif/sans-serif/monospace aren't available) or even make text bold, italic or underlined.

This makes it very hard to create emphasis where necessary, and it feels like ancient emails from before HTML formatting.

Is there something I am missing, or does this depend on the phone?

NB: I can do this with my messaging apps and the Gmail app, which I prefer not to use.

Hello all,

I installed Thunderbird for Android beta at my smartphone. After importing my account from the desktop version of Thunderbird I don't see the subfolders of my inbox. How can I show subfolders in the app for Android?

Kindest regards

I'm using Thunderbird for Android 19.2 from Google Play on Android 16.

When I try and send large-ish (around 1MB) messages they are not sent, and a notification "Failed to send some messages / Unable to Send message" appears.

This isn't a server restriction. The mail server it's connecting to is mine, and with a smaller message log entry "postfix/smtps/smtpd" appears. With larger messages no SMTP connection is attempted and no such message occurs.

How do I configure the size at which this occurs?

Currently all the function buttons - delete, move, mark unread etc - are positioned at the top of the Android UI. This makes it necessary to use 2 hands to check emails, which not everyone is able to do. For the rest of us it slows down work flow substantially which is infuriating. Is there any way to move these buttons to the bottom or side of the screen? If not, please add this capability ASAP. I will have to revert to Fairmail until it's fixed.
