Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I have used Thunderbird on my desktop PC for many years, and have now installed it on a Lenovo tablet running Android. The setting up was simple (thank you), and I am receiving emails with no problem. I have tried sending emails and they are simple to type up, but there is no visible "Send" button. I have accidentally sent an email successfully, but have no idea of how this came about. Please help me to send emails, as I am very keen to use the tablet fully. Many thanks, Nigel Olliver.

Hi, I have been using Thunderbird on my Windows PC for many years. I installed Thunderbird on my Android phone recently but it doesn't work, no emails are seen, and it doesn't seem to collect new ones either. What steps do I need to take to fix it? Regards, Paul

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.

I am on Android 16 on a Samsung phone. My messaging server is a POP. I have enabled the synchronisation on the inbox. I have set the period of synchronisation to 15 min I have enabled the notifications on the inbox. I have enabled the notifications of new message on the account I have enabled the notification of Thunderbird on Android

but it is not working !

Recently, I saw that sent messages are not landing in the Sent folder and are just sent. So, no footprint in this case for sent messages. I checked this issue in the same TB for Android and 2nd account (different imap server) and no issue like this.

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

For the past 2 months I've been using this Thunderbird android app. I don't understand why I keep getting multiple mails being received in my inbox of gmail and Yahoo accounts.

I request you to kindly look into this matter.

Rest all good with the email client.

Hello,

I imported my email accounts from Thunderbird for desktops into Thunderbird for Android. Everything works as expected with my own mail servers, i.e., I can send and receive emails. However, when I try to send an email to t-online.de, Thunderbird refuses to do so. The email remains in the outbox indefinitely, and then I receive an error message stating that the maximum number of retries has been reached. However, I do not receive an error message. The email simply remains in the outbox. I deleted the account and added it again, but the behavior remains the same.

What's strange is that it works without any problems with K9 Mail. Both sending and receiving emails works fine here. What could be the reason for this?

I am using the stable releases of Thunderbird 14.0 and K9 Mail 14.0.

The app has been running like a champ, monitoring 4 email accounts. Starting last night, one of my email accounts no longer works. It won't receive incoming email, even after clicking the refresh button, or send email. The other accounts are fine. When using my desktop app, everything works, so it's isolated to the one account on the mobile app. What could have happened to break this? How do i get this working again? Running version 10.1

Sometimes I want to send email as

 Ralph Red  rr@example.com

But sometimes as

 羅福 rr@example.com

What is the easiest way to do that?

Hey everyone,

I’ve noticed that on Thunderbird for Android, some of my email accounts get new messages with a delay of up to 15 minutes. I’d really like to get them instantly (or at least much faster).

A few details: - The email server is my university’s, so it might not have the latest sync features. - I set the folder poll frequency to 15 minutes, and emails do come through fine that way — just too slow. - I also set “refresh IDLE connection” to every 2 minutes. - Running version 13.0 of Thunderbird on Android.

Is there any way to make Thunderbird fetch or push emails instantly? Or is this delay just how it works if the mail server doesn’t fully support push/IDLE?

Thanks for any tips or ideas!

Hello, I would like help with my issue of not seeing the e-mails I sent on my mobile device through thunderbird in my "INBOX.1sent" folder nor my outbox. I have no evidence that these e-mails even were sent anywhere. I only see the e-mails that I have sent on the Linux version. How do I access the e-mails that I sent on my android version of thunderbird?

I have a POP3 account setup on my laptop and recently downloaded the thunderbird mobile app for android on my phone. I setup the android mobile app as IMAP to access the same server account as my POP3 laptop. When I look at my thunderbird phone email notifications in the morning, I compare them to the emails in my inbox on my laptop and find that the emails I see on my phone DO NOT show up in my inbox on my laptop ? I thought IMAP was NOT supposed to delete messages on the server when retrieved to my phone. My intent was to just read emails remotely on my phone but leave them on the server. I want my POP3 laptop account to see all of my emails and control whether to delete them or not after reading.

Wenn ich mit meinem Handy Apps öffne, werde ich aufgefordert, einen Bestätigungscode zurückzusenden, der mir per E-Mail zugesandt wird. Habe ich meinen PC dabei: kein Problem. Innerhalb weniger Sekunden erhalte ich den Code. Ohne meinen PC: unmöglich ! Auf meinem Handy erhalte ich die E-Mail erst nach mehreren Stunden. Bis dahin ist der Code abgelaufen, und im Zweifelsfall brauche ich die App nicht mehr. Wenn Sie mir nicht helfen können, die Zeit bis zum Empfang der E-Mails auf "Thunderbird für Android" ebenfalls auf einige Sekunden zu verkürzen, sehe ich mich gezwungen, ein anderes E-Mail Programm zu installieren. Ich war bisher sehr zufrieden mit Thunderbird. Bekommen Sie mein Problem nicht in den Griff, werde ich mit lautstarker Kritik nicht hinter dem Berg halten. mit noch freundlichen Grüßen: Ludger
