Thunderbird för Android gemenskapsforum

Hi,

After the installation of thunderbird in android all went well.

Then i try to sync all folders , 300, from my google account.

It seem is not like windows/linux, where you use the right button on the account and the process move on.

In android looks i can achive this, but doing one folder at time.

Is there any way to do this at once ?

Best regards Rui Pimentel

Rarely fetches emails automatically at 15 minutes. I can fetch manually. This has been going on before the last update. I haven't changed any settings. Sometimes it fetches when I open the app. Other times I must fetch manually. Also, we should be able to fetch sooner than 15 minutes.

If I use Thunderbird for Android to send or answer an e-mail it will be stored in the folder "Sent". That is correct, but I also receive a 100% copy of the e-mail in my Inbox. I cannot find a setting to switch off this behaviour.

Greetings,

I've been "sending" e-mail from my Android phone for six weeks now. It looks like it's going out, but it never gets outside the domain.

I found the suggestion that I check my SMTP settings, but I used a wizard within TB for Mac so I cannot find the SMTP settings on the phone.

The wizard wasn't very wizard: I don't have the contacts stored within TB or the mail from my computer or anything. All I can do is receive e-mail.

I really need to get this working. My computer has died, and everything is going via the phone, and I only use e-mail for communication, not voice or text. (Long story, please don't argue with me about that.)

I just updated Android again yesterday, and TB should be upgrading automatically, if I have this thing set right.

Update: I have found the SMTP settings. They look correct.

My sister's e-mail is working, so the problem is definitely with my settings somehow.

Does anyone have any ideas? I really want to stick with TB.

Update 2: I found the debugging settings and turned on extra logging, but I can't find the logs themselves. Could someone point me to them?

I also tried the TB beta because it says explicitly that it does POP3, but that didn't seem to help either.

Now that I can edit my question, how do I delete the answers that are actually just updates?

Update 4: A different app works. I'd rather use TB if it can be arranged, though. . . .

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

Hello,

I have read this one https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/openpgp-thunderbird-android-howto and I was aiming for additional detailed info on a specific step in the "Select an encryption key or create a new key" section.

From Thunderbird Desktop I can already send/receive encrypted emails from a specific email account and I have exported, on my laptop, my private and public keys as well as the public keys of some contacts.

On my Android phone I have Thunderbird for Android (version 14) already set up for the same email account and, in order to start using email encryption, I understood from the above link that I first need to install OpenKeychain and then, from the image in step 2 of "Select an encryption key or create a new key" and from the text of the subsequent step 3, that I'll need to choose "I already have a key. Import end-to-end key from other device" and then, if I got it right, try to find the keys which I exported on my laptop from Thunderbird Desktop.

Are there any precise details on how to find those exported keys and load them into OpenKeychain? Meaning, for instance, do I need to copy/paste the keys from my laptop into the archive of my Android phone and then direct Thunderbird/OpenKeychain to that location to pick them up?

Any type of details/links/docs/videos with respect to this, will be useful. As well as any explanations in case I understood wrongly and what I am trying to do is not the proper way to proceed.

Please note: I am not an expert.

Thank you

Best Regards

Accidentally deleted saved email contacts from Thunderbird on my Android device. Is there a way to get them back that a novice can understand?

I'm moving. Lost all vendors' contact information phone numbers, email addresses. Sick to my stomach....

Please help if you have the time. So grateful.

Hi, I am using Thunderbird on my Android phone and PC. When I send emails from my Android phone, the emails are sent but a copy is not stored in the "SENT" folder of my phone. This feature used to work in the past, but now it doesn't anymore.

How can I resolve this? Thank you.

Thunderbird app on Android suddenly stopped moving emails; instead just repopulated inbox. Uninstalled and reinstalled app; added email account and proper password. TB locked into "Checking incoming server settings" loop. Comcast properly set up; accessible from browser. Tried entering settings manually; same result. Cleared cache and data; same result.

Why in Thunderbird desktop I can set checking for mail to every 1 minute but in Thunderbird Android I only have the option to fetch mail every 15 minutes?

This needs to be changed ASAP! I need to make replies to urgent emails quickly! I shouldn't have to wait 15 minutes for Thunderbird to check for new emails or for me to keep pressing check for new emails. Gmail and FairEmail get my new emails straight away!! Thunderbird Android takes ages

Please change and fetch new emails ASAP! I love Thunderbird and have used Thunderbird since it was first released! But Gmail and FairEmail I use because of this issue! Look at my screenshot! 15 minutes is a joke!!

The attachement of the mail for thunderbird android should be displayed on top of the mail, not on the bottom. This is to avoid scrolling down all the way on a longer thread just to see the attachement. Please consider this modification urgently.

Thank you,

I have been using Thunderbird as my mail service for many years, using it on the PC and my smartphone. Since several weeks ago, for an unknown reason, the "SENT" folder on the smartphone shows all the messages which were sent, but not with the correct name of the person/organization to who the email was sent. All my messages in the "SENT" folder are recorded as having been sent to "Lucie Payant" with a picture of her avatar, instead of showing the name of the real correspondent.

However, the "SENT" folder on my PC is fine and shows the correct correspondent to whom the email was sent to.

I verified all my settings, and, as far as I know, everything seems correct on my cell. This situation is very annoying and confusing.

Can you help me please. Raymond

In the older K-9, when one changed the active account, the inbox for the newly selected account would just be shown immediately. No need for any other operations on my part.

Now I have to tap on the inbox to get there. This seems an awful nuisance and offers little to anyone, I suspect.

Is there some way to get the old K-9 behavior?

Thanks!
