Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I've been trying to export profiles from Thunderbird for Android but get some sort of weird file type instead of a zip file that I get if I export from Thunderbird for PC. Why is this and what use is this weird file format?

Hello, Today I installed an app on Android 15. The program is really great and suits me very well. I have a problem. How can I create a new folder in the app? There’s a lot about it on the internet, but everything is useless. I would be very grateful for your help. Best regards, Pawel Fraczkiewicz

I'm not happy with the way the mailbox folders are displayed on my mobile phone.

When using numerous subfolders, it is very confusing compared to the display on the PC.

Example:

INBOX.00.AAA

INBOX.01.AAA.aaa

INBOX.01.AAA.bbb

INBOX.01.AAA.zzz

INBOX.02.AAA.aaa

INBOX.02.AAA.bbb

INBOX.02.AAA.zzz

INBOX.99.AAA.aaa

INBOX.99.AAA.bbb

INBOX.99.AAA.zzz

This drives me to despair on the small screen of my mobile phone.

IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THESE HIERARCHY LEVELS WERE REPRESENTED BY INDENTATIONS, AS IS USUALLY THE CASE!

Have I overlooked something, are there settings for this somewhere?

Hi team

Firstly, congratulations on the Thunderbird android app. Very good, easy to install and to sync with my account. The only issue, and please take a look about that, the minimum sync for the emails are 10 minutes (see attached photo) which is too high when you are expecting a new email. Please reduce the time into 1 minute and to have a notification for income email. Kind regards Charalampos Karampasis

I would like to use Thunderbird instead of Gmail however I am finding the dark blue background colour used to show a selected email in the email list is really bad especially with the email subject and first 2 lines being black. Is the any way to change the colour? Thanks

I just installed the Android mobile version of Thunderbird. I was wondering if it supports any form/method of SPAM filtering? If so, how do I access/use it?

TIA!

When replying to a message the reply is not attached as a new in a thread. It only show up in Sent folder.This is happening in mobile app despite appropriately working in a desktop version. I don't see any way to change this in folder settings?

Hallo. Ich habe die aktuelle Version von Thunderbird auf meinem Tablet installiert und bei der Eingabe meiner E-Mail Konten, eine Adresse 2 x eingegeben. Ich finde keine Möglichkeit die doppelte Adresse zu löschen. Wie muss ich vorgehen. Entschuldigen Sie das ich in deutsch schreibe, aber mein Englisch ist zu schlecht.

In der Hoffnung auf Hilfe, mit freundlichen grüßen,

Walter Schäffer.

Hello. I have the latest version of Thunderbird installed on my tablet and, when entering my email accounts, I entered an address twice. I can't find a way to delete the duplicate address. What should I do? Sorry for writing in German, but my English is too poor.

Hoping for some help, Sincerely,

Walter Schäffer.

I recently switch from the Samsung email to the Thunderbird on my phone and I love the app. However, I would like to figure out how I can delete an email on my phone without it deleting it on my desktop version of Thunderbird (IMAP) or on the server that is offsite. I'm sure there is a setting somewhere but I can't find it.

One Gmail account imported all of the settings, including the Inbox. The other Gmail account recieves this:

Please sign in We'll redirect you to your email provider to sign in. You need to grant the app access to your email account.

Sign in with Google

Then the following error, as it won't open to Google to confirm (it did with the other account)

Please sign in Oauth sign in failed OAuth 2.0 is currently not supported with this provider Retry

Hi. I have Thunderbird installed on my Galaxy S25 phone and Galaxy Tab S8 tablet. If I send an email from either of those 2 devices 2 copies of the same message appear in the 'Sent Items' folder. Two messages also appear in the 'Sent Items' folder of Outlook on my PC. If I send a message from Outlook on my PC only 1 message appears (as it should do). Is there something that can be done to correct this so that the message only appears once? Kind regards, Paul Goddard

I'd like to know the relation between K-9 and Thunderbird. I couldn't register to https://forum.k9mail.app to chat as no registration email was sent to me during couple of days since I tried to sign up. I don't want another chat app, like Matrix, I prefer forums. Why thunderbird-android on Github is signed as "fka K-9"? Is K-9 becoming Thunderbird? So why there is Thunderbird beta? Both apps are said to be developed by the same developer on Google Store. I need some additional info before I switch to another all-except-gmail-bloatware email client on a new device.

On the account selection screen on the Android app, it uses the first two letters of the account name inside the displayed circle so you can quickly select a different account to view. My issue is, two of my accounts start with "sa" and two start with "sj", so I have 2 pairs of duplicate abbreviations. How can I update the abbreviations in this list without renaming the accounts? Hopefully I'm just not finding some easy setting somewhere, but to date I haven't been able to locate it. I'm including a screen shot of the list from my phone, you can see the first 4 entries are 2 pairs of apparently duplicate entries. Please advise!

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

   Scott Lindley

I followed the directions the directions to export and then import my settings to an Android device (this is my first time using a mobile device). I took pictures of the QR codes. I was next told, "Align the QR code provided from Thunderbird Desktop." What does that mean and how do I do it?
