Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

First off, I love Thunderbird for my PC; however, Thunderbird for Android (on my tablet) not so much. Are there any plans to create a way for Thunderbird for Android to rearrange the order of the mail accounts, like the PC version does?

I try to download the app from the playstore, and it says Thunderbird will install soon, but soon never comes. I never get to the stage where you confirm the path name

One of the recent updates mentioned something about changing the colors for read vs unread emails. Now the contrast between the two states is barely perceptible, whereas before it was fairly clear (at least when using the dark theme; I have checked both themes on the current version and they both suffer). Is there a better forum to provide this feedback?

Thunderbird on my Android phone updates to 12.1 today, and now the unified inbox no longer has folders under it. In the attaches screenshot, there used to be folders below "Inbox". I could control which folders from any account showed up there. Now they're all gone. How do I bring them back?

I just installed Thunderbird 12.0 on my Phone (Galaxy Note20, Android 13). Account setting were taken from my Desktop PC using the QR Code. In all three Accounts only Mails in the Main IMAP-Inbox are shown. Subfolders (like "sent" or "drafts") are all found, but the messages inside will not be shown. It will only say "Load more messages" but does not find any. In K9-Maiil 11.1 this still worked, but I had to uninstall it as after the automatic update to 12.0 it suddenly kept crashing on startup.

Already tried to add my main account from scratch on my tablet (with a fresh install of Thunderbird 12.0), but the problem with empty subfolders remains.

Any thoughts on this?

The new version of Thunderbird 11.1 for Android does not import account settings properly, one can only see Outbox, nothing else. I have the latest beta and then tried to import my settings from the beta to 11.1, after importing all i have access to is my Outbox, morning else shows up, no inbox etc at all. Think it's an import bug

Hi... When i receive a new email it opens up into "Compose" if I was to answer or forward the email and not into "read only mode" Can you help me 😀 Kind regards Kristian

Hi,

I've been using Thunderbid Mobile from early beta but I've never managed to achieve what the desktop application (and many other applications) do out of the box: I want threaded views of an email conversation to display both sent and received emails (as well as those archived). I expected this to work out-of-the-box, but it has never worked and I've never been able to figure out how to tweak settings to make it work. I thought the unified view might allow what I want, but if I enable my "Inbox" and "Sent" (and Archive) folders to be unified I get a merged view of their content but the threaded view of emails does not work, I sent items separate from replies received to these.

I need help how to fix this because it has become severely limiting and it is pushing me to switch to another client if I can't find a solution.

Thanks, Szilard

Hi. I'm using the android app of Thunderbird but, when composing a new mail, or editing a draft, I cannot edit the fonts and the paragraph properties. There's no easy way to write in bold or in underline, or to add a link, or to add a list. Am I missing something? Please help. Thank you.

My primary email (which has been used as the login email for many, many accounts) is on an email server which only supports TLS 1.0. I have contacted the sys admin before and was told they are planning to upgrade "some day" but that was over two years ago so I'm not optimistic.

I've gotten Thunderbird desktop to work with the account by downgrading the minimum TLS level. Recently, I've started using Thunderbird mobile on my phone (as the latest Gmail app update stopped working with my email account -- no doubt for the same reason) and it was working fine but I just bought a new phone and transferred my apps to it. I set Thunderbird mobile up exactly the same way as I did on my old phone, but it is refusing to sign in, citing a protocol problem (so I'm suspecting the stupid TLS 1.0 issue). I don't understand why this worked on my old phone but not on the new one -- the old one is on an earlier version of Android -- could that be it? (Both versions of Thunderbird mobile say they are version 11.1).

So, what can I do about this? There doesn't seem to be any way to downgrade the TLS version on the mobile software. Spending the next two months going through every account I've opened on the internet and changing the associated email account probably isn't as fun as it sounds and I'm inclined to not try finding out. Persuading my email provider to move into the 21st century is probably easier said than done. If I can't change Thunderbird mobile to fix this, does anyone know of another Android email app which would work? Not being able to access my emails on my cell phone would be a significant issue for me.
