Komunitné fórum Thunderbird pre Android

Hi,

On my desktop, thunderbird does an awesome job cutting spam. While on the mobile its terrible, not just are most spam mails coming thru but some legit emails are getting flagged. Is there some way to make it mimic the desktop.

Thanks in advance

Hi Thunderbirds!

When I "Star" an email it disappears out of Inbox completely and I can only see it if I click on the "Star" option in the sorting menu. I've looked to see if there is a "Starred" folder but can't find one. I've now discovered that if someone replies to an email that I've starred I get no notification at all, it is just added to the thread. The next time I sort by Star I suddenly see unread replies to previously starred emails - bit of a nightmare! So, is there a way that I can adjust settings to: 1. Leave starred messages in the Inbox (or the folder that I move them to), but allow me to sort by Star when I need to? 2. Have new replies to previously starred messages appear as new notifications, the same way they do for normal emails.

Thanks! Kimberly

Hello, Installed the thunderbird app on android, the problem is, that the attachments in incoming messages are at the bottom, and if it is the long conversation you have to scroll all the way down to see the attachment, which is very inconvenient. Is it possible to change the settings so, that the attachments be shown at the top of the messeges?

Search stopped working on my Windows 11 and Android platforms. I deleted the global database and restarted Thunderbird on Windows 11. Problem solved. Unfortunately, on Android, no joy.

1. how can I use the google (or Samsung) email addressbook in Thunderbird for Android? 2. How can I add more than one email address in an email in thunderbird for android?

I am not a software expert - and don't want to become one - so, please only user-friendly replies and no expert tips...

an addition of digital biometrics and password in Thunderbird to provide more security when letting an acquaintance use our smartphone and not access our email for privacy reasons.

It seems that the mobile app works well on my phone, but it doesn't have the calendar function.

How do people get by in this situation? Do you somehow sync the calendar on your phone with this? Note, I do have an Android device.

Thanks!

Trying on here, as I suspect the android forum gets little attention.

I can send email with TB for Android over the Internet from home, but not over the Internet in 4 out of 4 cafes. it's not due to a VPN. It only happens eith Thunderbird, not Gmail or Outlook.

I just installed the Thunderbird mobile app on my Google PIxel 6a, and I get the following error when I try to access both Gmail and Yahoo Mail: "Authentication failed. Update your server settings."

I imported my server settings from my desktop version of Thunderbird during the standard setup of the mobile app.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Hello,

I have setup my desktop app the way I like it. And I'm trying to get it synced with my android app. It shows the email addresses in left side bar. And has unified mailbox and outbox (both empty in all accounts) as the only folders. I am also having a problem getting my outlook.com email to work properly on the desktop app.

Please help ASAP

thunderbird for android uses OpenKeyChain to manage private key. are there any convenient way to synchronize private key between thunderbird for android and thunderbird for windows?

I installed Thunderbird for Android today on my Moto g stylus. I used the QR code to import the settings from Thunderbird on my Windows 10 laptop. In general, things seem to be working, but outgoing messages are not being copied to the "sent" folder. I can see older "sent" messages that were sent from my Windows 10 Thunderbird, but no sent messages that originated from my phone. I have an IMAP mail server.

Long time user of Tbird on Win and now Linux desktop. I have it set up so that reading/opening a msg leaves it's status as unread. I use read status in the msg list so that I can tell what I have dealt with and what is still to be actioned. With Tbird Android, which I use as well as desktop, reading or opening a msg turns it's status to read and it then gets lost among other msg on both platforms. Can't find a setting to change this so that both platforms act the same. Or a workround/change in my workflow.

Hi Have used thunderbird on pc for years no probs. Just downloaded TB to android 14 and swipe options don't work except for delete. How can I get the other options to work? Thanks

I just installed Thunderbird for Android on my Pixel phone for the first time. I have used Thunderbird on my desktop PC for many years, so I am very familiar with Thunderbird in general. I used the "Export for Mobile" feature on my desktop installation, to import my account settings into the Android installation.

For the most part, Thunderbird for Android works great, as I would have expected. However I am seeing a problem which appears (to me) to be a bug. When I compose and send an email on my phone, and then look in the "Sent" folder on the phone, the email that I just sent shows up there. But only on the phone. If I open Thunderbird on my desktop PC and look at the Sent folder there, the email that I sent from the phone is not there. Apparently, it only gets placed in the phone's Sent folder, but it does not get copied to the email server.

A few other details: -- I use Thunderbird on 2 different desktop systems, a PC and a Mac. When I send email from either of those, that email DOES show up in the Sent folder on the other system. Emails that are sent from either desktop system also show up in my phone's Sent folder. So I know that the Thunderbird desktop application does upload the message to the email server's Sent folder correctly. But Thunderbird for Android does not upload its sent emails.

-- I don't know if it matters, but my email server is Microsoft 365, hosted by GoDaddy.

-- As far as I can tell, the most obvious setting for this is the "Upload sent messages" checkbox, which can be found in the "Sending mail" section of "Account settings" in the Thunderbird Android settings. This checkbox IS IN FACT turned on. I could not find any other settings which could possibly affect the copying of sent messages up to the email server's folders.

Is this a bug? Any ideas what might be causing this? Thanks for any help.

Hello

Having used Maildroid for years, alongside Thunderbird on Linux, Mac and Windows desktops, I'm a recent convert to Thunderbird Mobile, and I'm very impressed.

However, I have over 5,000 IMAP folders, and the way that Thunderbird Mobile displays them linearly is not usable/accessible. I remember trying K-9 years ago and rejecting it for the same reason.

Is there anywhere I can up-vote some effort to adding hierarchical folders, with expand/collapse, bringing TM in line with Thunderbird Desktop?

Unfortunately I don't have the coding skills to volunteer on this.

Thanks Jonathan.

Running on a Samsung Galaxy S21, Android 14, One UI version 6.1. Android security patch Jan 1, 2025.

I've tried both the most recent stable version of the Android Thunderbird app as well as the beta version, both from the play store. Both successfully import from the desktop app using the QR code. At least the process seems to complete without any glitches and my two mailboxes show up on my phone.

I'm connecting to servers at Pair networks, which works from the Thunderbird desktop (Max OS, Sequoia 15.3). I have two mailboxes, both routed to the "unified" view.

I'm pretty sure the mail servers are running IMAP, but there's always room for doubt.

I'm assuming that the little circle of arrows in the menu for the unified view does a manual sync, although I reconfigured the polling for 15 minutes and waited significantly longer than that and still nothing.

I can send e-mails from my gmail account and they arrive at the desktop app in short order but don't get to the Android app. I'm assuming here that both the desktop and Android programs will get all emails...

I am running BitDefender on my phone, although I've tried disabling that and still nothing when doing a manual sync.

It doesn't appear that I can send e-mail from my phone either. Messages just sit there in the outbox, even after clicking "send messages" on from the three-dot menu drop-down. I can send e-mail from the desktop client.

I have the app running on my laptop all this time.

I'm at my wit's end, any suggestions?

Thanks, Erick
