Even though all my email accounts in Thunderbird for Android are IMAP, when I send or forward messages from my phone they leave no trace: they aren't in any folders on my phone, nor do they show up on my computer. This may make me go back (horror of horrors) to Gmail on my phone.

When composing a new message in Thunderbird, I must either type the full recipient address or manually select a contact; unlike other email clients, it does not suggest addresses from previous correspondence. This omission is both time-consuming and frustrating. Any ideas how to fix it?

Does the thunderbird team have any plans to expand beyond being an email client and offer their own email service in the future? (I can't wait (I can but I'm really hyped)).

Hi all,

I have found a bug with version 10.1 of the Thunderbird email app for Android.

When I go to Sent Items in the Thunderbird app, choose a previously sent email to view it, then choose 'Edit as new message', then make the necessary changes and choose 'Save draft', Thunderbird crashes and the new message is lost (not getting saved in drafts).

The font size settings appear to have been removed from General Settings or anything below that. They can be found using the search function, and they do work when changed, but I've seen the font size go back to default more than once. So, at the moment, they're kind of hidden and ephemeral.

Hi,

It seems that the last upgrade has broken something with sending emails. With my desktop version, I have no trouble sending and receiving emails. I am using version 142.0 (64-bit) of Thunderbird, and the desktop computer is Windows 10.

I have 2 issues sending emails.

First issue, my Pixel 9 Pro XL does not send emails anymore. It was working fine until recently. The email is stalled in the outbox. I tried reloading the outgoing server settings, I get an error message; see attached error message. My Android receives emails fine, but will not send them. My phone syncs well with my desktop. However, the outbox doesn't sync, so I can't send the stalled emails from the desktop when I'm back in my office.

Second issue is my POS program (Windward Software System 5) stopped sending out emails as well. I worked with the tech department at the software company, and they said it isn't an issue with them, nothing has changed with them, no upgrades or changes on their end. Some of our older machines here, that haven't received the recent upgrade with Thunderbird, are still sending emails fine. Just a couple of computers are having this trouble of not sending emails from out POS software, it's the ones that have received the Thunderbird upgrade. For the outgoing settings, we are using the default port 465, and the connection security is SSL/TLS. Authentication method: is a normal password. I am hoping you have an answer for me. Please don't share the attachment with the community forums. Everything else will be fine.

Thank you,

I have been using TB Android for some time now. I saw the update to 11.1 from my current 10.1 this morning. So I jumped on it with excitement! Suffice it to say that, thanks to my rooted phone and Neo Backup, I have returned to 10.1...

My main problems are with the "hierarchical folders" - especially in gmail, which is the only place I see these bad changes (I have outlook and yahoo accounts as well):

1. There should be an option to turn use of "hierarchical folders" OFF in an account. I sure don't see that. 2. If "hierarchical folders" are to be insisted-upon, the state of opened folders in the hierarchy should be persisted - at the very least within a given TB session - but it would be more ideal across TB sessions. 3. If you tap on the un-opened "hierarchy" folder, you get a completely worthless page (see attached). WTH? 4. There should be a way to indicate that a given "hierarchy" folder should NOT be hidden in the drop-down but should be placed at the top, outside the hierarchy. Would would have hoped that the "Show At Top" setting in the Manage Folders would do this, but it does NOT.

I didn't go much beyond this. I realized right then that this was not the update for me. So I tried to use the back button to return from TB to the launcher's home page (so I could go to Neo Backup and recover). Guess what? The back button no longer exits from TB to the launcher in 11.1 as it did in 10.1. I sure did not see this in the release notes.

This is a shame really.

Hallo, ich habe Thunderbird für Android heruntergeladen, den QR-Code geladen, alles OK, meine Konten sind synchronisiert. Das Problem: Ich kann mich von Thunderbird nicht ausloggen wie üblich in Desktop. Ich möchte nicht, dass die Konten ohne Sicherung offengelegt sind. Haben Sie eine Lösung? Danke für Ihre Hilfe.

Hi... When i receive a new email it opens up into "write mode" if I was to answer or forward the email and not into "read only mode" Can you help me 😀 Kind regards Kristian

GooglePlayのレビュー5/27のものを参考に、Outlook側でIMAPの許可設定を行なってもエラーが発生してアカウントの追加ができません。

Windows版でもOutlookの追加にはエラーが出ましたが、こちらは解決しています。このエラーは調べたところ解決策が出てきたので、「アカウントハブ（実験的）」をオフにし、送信サーバーの設定を手入力したところ解決しました。

しかし、Android側では手入力で送信サーバーを入力する欄も出ず、認証後ひたすらエラーが出るばかりです。※Windows版で出た挙動と同じ

Android側への移行はQRでのインポートを行い、Gmail、独自ドメインは問題なく追加できています。

追加出来る方法があればご教授お願いいたします。

また、他の事象でエラーや困った時の解決参考になるものが、GooglePlayの回答にはあるものの、フォーラムでは何も出てこないため、近い事象はサポートで検索出来る状態だとありがたいです。

Hi, I have the problem that I don't receive any push notifications for my Outlook account. I tried both the Thunderbird and Thunderbird Beta app and everything ist setup correctly, as I get instant push notifications for my other accounts. What I also noticed is even when I open the app and refresh the Unified Inbox, new emails on my Outlook account don't appear. I have to select the inbox of my Outlook account and refresh that to actually get my new emails.

Does anyone know how to solve this or has a similar problem?

As stated, I can't update Thunderbird on Android from v11 to the newest v11.1. Apparently this is an App ID fingerprint issue. Has Mozilla changed the App ID from v11 to v11.1? Thanks in advance. Cheers

I know there are several ways to get updates... But: What is the expected delay with which a (Github-)"release" becomes visible in Google Play Store?

(I know about Google's approval procedures, "staged rollout", and so on... Just want to know an estimation of shortest and longest delay, before I can get an update via Google PlayStore...)

Hi, I use Thunderbird for Android Beta 12.0b6 and I have the following problems: 1. Most of the emails I deleted from the notification shade still show in my inbox when opening the app.

2. Since the last update, the gestures work poorly, I have to swipe 2 or 3 times in order to delete an email.

Please have a look into it when you have the time. Thanks
