Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Hi.

I have installed and set up the new app via the playstore. Installed on a Pixel 8a. I have noticed the following points. Please give me some feedback on where and how I have to change the settings or whether these points can be changed at all.

1. I have three mailboxes in the app. If you swipe to the right, you can see the overview of the mail accounts with a corresponding abbreviation of 2 letters. All three accounts are named “WE”. It is possible to change that ?

2. I have set the frequency of mail retrieval to 15min. Can I set it somewhere so that I immediately receive a notification when mail arrives (background sync allways) ?

3. The retrieval of mails and their notifications do not work reliably. I only see new mails or pushups when I switch from mobile network to wifi (or vice versa) or when I manually trigger the update in the app. How can this be optimized?

Thx.

Hi folks, thanks for the amazing Thunderbird on Android.

I have a couple of observation I'd like to share.

1. When the device's theme is set to dark and Thunderbird follows, some parts of the email body becomes unreadable. This is not the case with Gmail (this is a Gmail account). I am attaching screenshots for this (1.jpeg for Gmail, 2.jpeg for Thunderbird). Is this an expected behavior?

2. The app seems to use green and violet colors for email body by default. And, it misses some of format colors of the email body itself. That is something I do not prefer. Is there a reason why Thunderbird chose this color and formatting? Is there a way to change the colors? Again attaching screenshots for this (please note the arrows I made especially, 3 for Gmail and 4 for Thunderbird and two others I did not number showing the green format (from Udemy)).

3. There are format problems with the Thunderbird (5 for Gmail and 6 for Thunderbird). Are these expected? It makes reading and seeing the mail problematic.

4. I think there is a problem with the way notification times are shown on Thunderbird. In the screenshot 7, you see that notification timestamp for Thunderbird is shown as 14:07. However, none of the emails shown just below have that time. Why would that be the case?

5. Lastly, even though the setting is set for Push, my emails come on average 10-25 minutes later than Gmail app itself. Is this also an expected behavior?

Thank you.

Running version 8.0, Thunderbird App for Android. Noticing all subfolders are labelled "INBOX.trash, INBOX.Sent Items, INBOX.General".

Wondering if there's a way to remove.the "INBOX" part?

Just installed. Thunderbird doesn't fetch new messages unless I open the application, anyhow with no notification sound. Couldn't find the solution into the setting. Android notification enabled. Any advice? Thanks and regards Sandro

At first thank you for Thunderbird for Android! I have installed this App and have some questions. Even though I have enabled notifications for the app, I do not receive any notifications when new emails arrive. Is this a mistake or do I need to adjust something else? I also think there is a problem with synchronization. New emails are not retrieved on time and emails deleted in the app are not synchronized. This means that they are not deleted in the desktop program. Is there a solution to this? Best regards Jens Gerlach
