Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I went out of the USA on May to Ecuador and Peru, and on the same day the Android version of Thunderbird stopped retrieving new email from the server. I have used Thunderbird pointed to the same server on Windows 11 and Android successfully for years. I thought it might be something to do with being out of the country, but now I'm back in the USA, and sync account on Android still does not retrieve new mail that has accumulated since May 4th. I've been following my email using a webmail access so I know there's lots of new mail. I've closed and reopened Thunderbird on the Android, and I've tried sync account with the webmail access closed. I have not yet tried Thunderbird on my windows 11 laptop because I'm still not home yet. Any suggestions welcomed, thank you for your help!

Unified inbox. Have to delete messages twice (first time only marks them read).

When I delete a message from the Unified Inbox by swiping right (and confirming) it only gets marked as read and not deleted. Have to swipe right once more (and confirm) to make it disappear.

In the normal inbox it is deleted at the first swipe to the right.

Why does it only get marked as read at the first delete in the Unified inbox?

A bit annoying having to delete evey message twice in the Unified inbox.

Trying to get the mobil version to work. Can the mobil version coexist with the PC version? I tried leaving messages on server, but no joy. Got through the setup OK, but the mobile version want a signon to Google

When I open my Inbox on Thunderbird for Android, the notifications are still displayed even after I close out of the app. So I have to always go back and manually swipe away all the notifications.

I select multiple messages to delete, and it doesn't delete all of them. I have to go back and select again to delete the remaining messages. Sometimes more than once.

Hello

I have used K9 mailer for perhaps 5 years quite happily - this is my first question please.

In general I use "unified inbox" and sort the messages by "Date". This shows almost all messages sorted by the date/time they were sent, which is what I want. I often turn my tablet off for hours or days and then back on, so arrival time is delayed, but date/time sent is not.

My ReoLink cameras are configured to email me images under certain conditions. these messages always sort to the top, even though they were dated some time back. For example I turned on my tablet today (Monday) for the first time since Saturday, and received much mail. the ReoLink messages sorted right at the top. If I look at "show headers", at the end of the "received" field, it shows the correct original date of saturday morning. but the date/time at the far right of the "unified inbox" display shows the time at which I turned the tablet on and the message was received - only for this message, not for any others.

I am suspecting this may be a reolink problem, but not exactly sure what to tell them.

thanks for the help

I have just reinstalled T/B (3-4 times now). Scanned barcode from notebook. Installed ok. This mobile T/B DOES NOT give me any option to add folders. Only: inbox, outbox, drafts, sent, deleted. I at least want (1) extra folder to store messages. How do I achieve this? Thanks My laptop T/B works well (on Ubuntu)

Hi

 When I use Thunderbird for Android and delete an email it no longer appears in Thunderbird as it should. However if I switch to K-9 Mail it hasn't been deleted. It doesn't matter how many times I try to sync my mailboxes. Is this expected or is something wrong with Thunderbird for Android? If I do the same on Thunderbird on Mac it works just fine. This is currently keeping me from fully switching to Thunderbird for Android on my phone...

I like very much Thunderbird very much, but I had to move recently to use an Android device, that is my main computer now. I normally work with four email accounts, and I sometimes need to move emails across different accounts. I found out that it is not working on the mobile app. Are there any plans to include this functionality in Thunderbird? Thank you very much.

Hi,

I'm looking to make Gmail my principal email account, instead of using my ISP account. Gmail requires 0Auth2 authentication, as many will know.

I'm a Luddite and prefer to use POP3, for a number of reasons. Thunderbird works fine (with POP3 Gmail), on my computer. Unfortunately, 0Auth2 doesn't appear as an authentication option, for POP3, in Tbird for Android. So the TB android app forces IMAP on my tablet and phone.

Is there any way around this? Are there any plans to incorporate 0Auth2 authentication for POP3 within Tbird for Android?

Thanks

I'm using a Samsung Tab S6 tablet with thunderbird email for Android. I have several email addresses to monitor but I've noticed the unified folder doesn't always show emails that are in an inbox in a email address but they are there if I check the email address direct.

Anyone how to fix?
