Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Hello,

For a few days everything worked perfectly. Now suddenly I cannot fetch any emails on neither Thunderbird for android nor Thunderbird on Ubuntu. Both latest versions at time of writing. Sending mails works. Another email client works, another email address from the same server (but different domain) does work.

Any ideas what I can do?

I am experiencing a problem with Thunderbird for Android.

My setup:

• Smartphone: Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (SM-S918B)
• Android version: Android 16
• Computer: Windows PC
• Desktop email client: Thunderbird for Windows (latest version)
• Email accounts are configured and working correctly on the Windows version of Thunderbird.

The issue concerns the Android application. Despite using the same email address, login credentials and server settings that work correctly on my Windows computer, I am unable to properly configure or synchronize the account in Thunderbird for Android.

The desktop version connects without any issues, while the Android application either rejects the settings or fails to synchronize properly.

I have already:

• verified the email address and password,
• confirmed that the same credentials work on the Windows version,
• checked the incoming and outgoing server settings,
• reinstalled the Android application,
• ensured that the device has an active internet connection.

Could you please advise what additional steps I should take to resolve the issue?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards,

With three accounts, if the first account is set to folder poll frequency = 15min and the others are set to never, the first account does not poll its folders after 15 minutes. The bug workaround is to set all three accounts to 15 minutes. However not knowing this caused me to miss important emails.

I am preparing to migrate from K9 mail to Thunderbird for Android. Before I go through the process and learning curve for the software, one key feature will be the determining factor.

Does Thunderbird for Android have inbox rules, possibly also called Filters like in Thunderbird Desktop, that will automatically find keywords or sender info in the header of a received message and deposit that message into a designated alternate folder?

That would determine whether I switch to Thunderbird for Android.

Thanks.

Hello, I’m having the following problem: When I try to add my Outlook email address to Thunderbird for Android, I get the error "Authentication unsuccessful: SmtpClientAuthentication is disabled for the Mailbox." This points to a help article that only describes a procedure using PowerShell—requiring domain admin privileges, which I don't have. Setting up the IMAP incoming server seems to work fine, but the outgoing server refuses to connect. This is just a personal account. The configuration is: Server: smtp.office365.com; Security: StartTLS; Port: 587; Authentication: OAuth 2.0; Username: mymail@outlook.de; Client certificate: None. I also tried the configuration using the server smtp-mail.outlook.com (with otherwise identical settings), but I get the same error. Does anyone have any advice?

I was working with my own simple pop3 test server and noticed thunderbird also K-9 and even Gmail seem to send some unstandard commands to the server causing an error. FairEmail however works fine. The server is a simple pop3 for local testing can anybody explain why your email clients are not compatible with pop3 standards perhapse how you deviated from the standard?

I tried to connect to my personal outlook email account on a fresh installation of thunderbird mobile. The setup wizard gave the correct configuration as described in microsoft's official documentation. But the following error occured: Authentication unsuccessful, SmtpClientAuthentication is disabled for the Mailbox.

IMAP is enabled in microsoft's mail account settings on outlook.com.

Hi, I seem to be missing the send button in the Android app. (I do know that it's supposed to be the regtangular shape). When I compose a simple e-mail it is there. But when I want to reply a longer e-mail, it is missing sometimes. For now, I have found no pattern for when it is there and when it's not. I can't click on Alt or anything, since it's on a smart phone.

Hello, when I try to answer a message or forward an e-mail, both the attachment, send and more options buttons are missing. They are there when I compose a new e-mail. What can I do?

How to set up mail verification in the app. I need it every minute. It costs at least 15 minutes. Ver. 18.0 In the web version, you can select starting from 1 minute.

Just started to use Thunderbird mail app on Android smartphone but it doesn't seem to be showing badge count for new emails & seems to be delayed in receiving new emails.

I have double checked the settings but cannot identify the correct setting to receive emails straight away?

Lorsque je sélectionne plusieurs messages dans la boîte de réception et que l’appuie ensuite sur la corbeille, il arrive souvent que les messages reste t dans la boîte de réception.

Seit dem Update über Playstore wurden alle Mails vom Posteingang (Gemeinsamer Psitereingang mit mehreren Konten) in den Papierkorb verschoben und die Einstrellungen für Mails Abfragen wurden ebenfalls verändert ! Wann ist mit einer Bereinigung zu rechnen? Ein manuelles Verschieben vom Papierkorb in den Pisteingang ist ebenfalls nicht möglich. Dieser Fehler ist sehr ärgerlich ! :-( MfG

guten tag

ich habe  seit  5  tagen  kein e.mail.   e.mail schon aber kann keine mails  verschicken.  ich musste  am 1.mai   bei magenta  mein paswort  neu eingeben  .  das funktioniert  jetzt  aber mails kann ich nicht  versenden :(

I'm using Thunderbird on my Chromebook. I can't use the pointer to open the "more options" menu (the three dots) in the email to get to forward and other options. Hovering over the dots shows the "More Options" message, but clicking does not open the menu. I have a touch screen chromebook and discovered that I can touch the three buttons and it opens. Once the menu is opened, the mouse pointer works to select forward and the other options.

I am having a configuration problem on my Android phone, configure it from the application installed on my Windows laptop. I receive my emails but they are periodically completely deleted during message synchronization. how to resolve this malfunction? THANKS
