Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I installed thunderbird on my new Samsung A26. I tried to configure the imap connection for my email - provider is liwest.at - per their settings. the incoming mail check worked. but the outgoing mail check gives back the error "unable to parse tls packet header" I checked username and password multiple times and tried all versions of password authentication possibilities.

I googled the error but the only thing I could find was a possible mismatch in tls versions. I asked my provider about it - their customer service could not confirm with their technicians what version is in use but according to their documentation it should be tls 1.2

Ich habe Thunderbird als Standard-App für E-Mail eingestellt und Gmail dafür abgewählt. Doch wenn ich einen E-Mail-Link klicke, sprich tippe, gibt es entweder gar keine Reaktion oder Gmail will den Link öffnen. "Rechtsklick", sprich langes Tippen funktioniert. --

I have toggled thunderbird as standard and gmail off. But either there is no reaction at all, if I click an email link, or gmail wants to open it.

I have my settings to confirm deletion in message view, but not from notifications. I've had to re-set them several times over the past month or so because it keeps changing back to confirm deletion from notifications. I think it's happening when I need to restart my phone, but it does it at random too. How do I fix that?

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!

Hi,

I'm looking to make Gmail my principal email account, instead of using my ISP account. Gmail requires 0Auth2 authentication, as many will know.

I'm a Luddite and prefer to use POP3, for a number of reasons. Thunderbird works fine (with POP3 Gmail), on my computer. Unfortunately, 0Auth2 doesn't appear as an authentication option, for POP3, in Tbird for Android. So the TB android app forces IMAP on my tablet and phone.

Is there any way around this? Are there any plans to incorporate 0Auth2 authentication for POP3 within Tbird for Android?

Thanks

I'm blocked by cbl.mailcore.net, so I can't receive my mail. I've contacted spamhause but I still can't get the thing to work. So have you any idea, what I'm gonna do ? Sincerely Keld Friis

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

I have v.13 of Thunderbord for Android Outgoing server settings match those recommended by Rogers/Yahoo, except that there is no Password field. App says SMTP server settings are valid, but when I try to send I get "Mailbox unavailable" error.

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)

Hi,

Since updating to Thunderbird 140.7.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 11, moving messages from Inbox to any folder takes about 7 seconds.

Details:

Account type: IMAP (Cogeco)

Happens in all folders

Inbox has ~600 messages (not large)

Was working normally before the recent update

Delay occurs every time moving a message from Inbox to another folder

No freezing — just a delay before the move completes

No antivirus changes

Issue started immediately after update

This appears to be related to IMAP sync behavior introduced in 140.x.

Has anyone else reported this, or is there a known regression?

Thank you.

I have just installed Thunderbird on my Android phone and using my desktop Thunderbird exported my email address to the Thunderbird mobile. This worked OK. Just for the record, this is my first time with Android version of the Thunderbird, and I can't find the inbox folder. Could you please guide me how to do it? Many thanks.

When I first open K9Mail 16.0 or after scrolling to the top of the message list, the message does not disappear from the list after I open a message, select move, and choose a folder. The message will no longer be clickable after I do this. However, it will remain displaying in the list until I start scrolling the message list, at which point the list updates and removes the moved message.

Please fix this bug.

Thanks.

I have used Thunderbird on my desktop PC for many years, and have now installed it on a Lenovo tablet running Android. The setting up was simple (thank you), and I am receiving emails with no problem. I have tried sending emails and they are simple to type up, but there is no visible "Send" button. I have accidentally sent an email successfully, but have no idea of how this came about. Please help me to send emails, as I am very keen to use the tablet fully. Many thanks, Nigel Olliver.
