Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Hi all I'm banging my head against a brick wall trying to get the app to automatically show remote images. A google search says go to Account settings > Reading mail but this isn't an option in the android app, there is only General Settings and no Reading mail. How can i get my emails to display properly automatically ?

Thanks all, Nick

Getting following error trying to setup my Thunderbird email on my cell phone.

Server returned p-input003.msg.pkvw.co.charter.net connection rejected see www.spamhaus.org/query/ip/18.88.32.140 aup#out-1230

I have spent over an hour with Spectrum and all my server settings are correct. Incoming server connects.

Spamhaus says not block listing for 18.88.32.140 but I can't connect to see why Thunderbird is trying to connect to this site. Spectrum has nothing in their files on this site.

How do I get Thunderbird to go to Spectrum servers instead of this site?

BTW my Gmail account works but I could not get Samsung email to configure either but it didn't give any errors just failed to connect.

Within my Outlook.com email account i have an archive folder with 36 sub folders.

In the Thunderbird app for Android only 2 of these sub folders are visible.

I cannot find any setting that to resolve this issue

Thunderbird for Android (unlike the standard Android Email) still does not offer the ability to shrink a photo before sending it. The workaround is so clunky, having to use an Android photo editor to shrink images one by one, especially if one wants to send multiple photos, saving each one and then going back to Thunderbird to send the smaller images. Any idea where this feature is in the development list?

When I try to forward an email with an attachment on mobile I get an error that's not fully visible saying "Some attachments could not be forwarded because they have not be...' (I tried rotating the screen to see if it expands but it's the same unfortunately). It works fine on the desktop app, and it also works fine if I manually download the attachment and then draft an email and attach it.

Does anyone know if this is common, or how I can bypass it? I tried but couldn't find any info on this behavior.

Thanks!

Functionality and usability issue: I use the Thunderbird for Android app as an adjunct to my desktop installation. Recently I had occasion to reply to an email in Android to one "to" recipient and needed to add two "cc" recipients, but found no way to add the cc recipients without deleting the existing cc recipients and having to input the entire (dynamic) group again, but then was also stymied by that. How best to handle this issue?

Other than that issue, the lack of desktop contacts synching, and the lack of spam filtering, Thunderbird for Android has been a huge help, so thanks to the developers for their dedication and hard work.

Hello,

I'm not sure where to go with feature requests, I didn't find that at all on my mobile... But, let me shoot, and you shoot me down if I wasted your time.

1. I would like to be able to archive directly from the Android notification. That's currently not an option.
2. I would love to have the time stamped directory option for archiving that we have on desktop. Right now on Android we can only go the to the "archive" directory.

So, what I really do now, as I read most of my e-mails on mobile, but do some specific processing on desktop, is mark it either as read or archive it on mobile. Then I go to desktop and archive it again...

Yours sincerely,

Stefan

In my Thunderbird client on my tablet (Android), phone (Android), and laptop (Windows 11) over the last week, it has stopped emptying the Trash folder by clicking "Empty". Also, across these platforms the Trash folder will no remain synced, while it appears other system folders remain synced.

As I have not made any client setting changes (prior to troubleshooting this issue), I must assume a recent background change/app update has occured.

Please advise.

This is observed on Pixel 9 Pro. Running Thunderbird v21 from F-Droid.

Not sure if this is in the latest update, but if I select a message, the top of the screen (where we are notifications and battery level) turns into a black bar. This happens in, both, the unified mailbox and a specific mailbox.

Is this a bug or normal behaviour?

Bonjour à tous,

I recently updated Tbird Mobile to v21.0. I'm on the latest version of Android released for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. The "Empty Trash" and "Empty Spam" commands no longer work. I have to go to the desktop version, empty those folders there, then go back to the mobile version and resync in those two folders to get the trashed files to "go away". This never happened before the v21.0 update.

Is there something I need to do/change, or is this a bug?

Merci d'avance, John

Ich habe die thunderbird App auf meinem Smartphone installiert. Problem: die Nachrichten werden nicht im Appsymbol angezeigt obwohl es überall angeschaltet ist. Problem 2: Wie bekomme ich 15min Emails abrufen auf permanent umgestellt?

Hello Guys; Since ages I use Mozilla email product (started with Navigator...). And I only use POP3 accounts so I've a lot of emails stored on my computer. Fine. I've imported my settings into Thunderbird for Android with success but this leave the data behind. How could I store my email folder on my phone and where to put it ? Many thanks in advance for your help and have a nice and bright day.

I exported my settings from desktop thunderbird when setting up Thunderbird Android 20 but discovered it was automatically marking messages as read. That makes it difficult to have a peek at messages when I'm out (in case there's something urgent) but still see those messages as unread when I return to the desktop.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1504592 claims to have found the option to do that, but it's an old message that has been archived without ever saying where that option was found. I've tried settings search as well as a visual search of all settings without seeing a relevant option.

Does that option actually exist? Or do I have to go back to K9 (which, at least in v19, had that option)?

Hi. i am having problems seeing up an email Group. I have carefully set up a new group with 12 members and sent out an email to the members and it arrives only to me. The other members do not receive it. Tried several ways. Please let me know what to do

Hello, redminote 12 pro 5G (hyper OS 3.03.0) has permission to use the camera. but when I want to scan the QR code generated by Thunderbird on PC, nothing happens. However, I did manage to import my accounts on a Xiaomi tablet. An idea or an alternative for transferring the accounts? Thank you in advance for your help. PS: My PC is running Linux mint, does it make a difference?
