Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

The Delete button (I've just begun using Thunderbird for Android) sends email to Delete-land: gone for good. There is no way to reprogram it to send to Trash. One can, alternatively, hide it on the main screen by setting swipes left and right to None. But it is still there in the Read screen....and potentially dangerous. If you try to set a swipe to Trash rather than Delete, there is no Trash option. So you have to set it to Move and choose Trash each time. This reduces the utility of Tbird Android and means you have to be extra-careful when reading emails.

Also, no way to reduce image sizes (by percentage) when attaching large picture files...unless you reduce them in advance in an image processing program.

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

Is there anyway I can shift all my folders,storage and local from my pc to my tablet at the same time as I load the app? In otherwords I want exactly the same email situation on my tablet as that is now on my pc .I wish to ditch my obsolete pc. Perhaps someone can steer me in the right direction.

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 cannot sign in. I see a box showing Mozilla Thunderbird below above it says Micros I see my Micros account. I have 10 password I haven't used any them that I remember. If I try too many times I am blocked. I was able to see what I would have to to get a QR code but not anymore. When I tried to get code last a few days ago There were black vertical lines moving from left to right so I could not take picture using my S23. I did some search and it I have to change some setting on my S23. I have new version of Thunderbird on my S23. No password since I have not been able to take QR image. This is not working for a week now. No emails to my S23 account. Please help me.

My Samsung S22 android with Thunderbird app email account keeps getting emails stuck in Outbox. Type of stuck email varies, some have attachments, some do not. No amount of "Send all emails" tapping will send them. I have to send them to my draft folder, then resend them, which they usually go thru. My laptop does not have this issue as its Thunderbird has NO Outbox. This is VERY FRUSTRATING as I constantly discover emails stuck in Outbox DAYS after I thought they'd been sent. I'm using IMAP and have the correct STMP settings recommended ny Xfinity (comcast.net) email host. Im on the verge of DUMPING Thunderbird for this issue!!!

I called Samsung, Tmobile, Geek Squad and Costco where I purchased my S23. I cannot receive emails had been ever since I had a cell phone and nearly 3 years ago when I purchased my S23. I cannot log into Microsoft because my account is block. I want to keep my current email address with Ionos.com. Please help me. Jay

Dear Thunderbird Development Team

I'm a regular Thunderbird user. I'd like to provide feedback regarding security concerns regarding the UI specifications of the Android version of Thunderbird.

Currently, Thunderbird for Android displays the sender's "display name only" on the email list screen, making the sender's actual email address invisible at all times.

I feel this specification increases the following risks, particularly in smartphone environments:

- Anyone can freely forge display names. - Phishing scams posing as financial institutions, e-commerce sites, and official support are common. - Users often rely on the list screen or notifications to determine the content of emails.

As a result, a UI that makes it difficult to determine whether an email is from a legitimate sender at the list screen level can become a breeding ground for phishing scams.

The PC version of Thunderbird allows for detailed header display, etc., and I'm disappointed that the mobile version of Thunderbird, despite being the same Thunderbird, is at a disadvantage in terms of security.

I would appreciate it if you could consider the following improvements.

- Setting to always display "display name + email address" on the email list screen

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 !

I believe I found a bug. When drafting an email and switching away from Thunderbird the draft email gets sent but still remains in the drafts folder.

I created two emails today and had to switch away multiple times to get some information to paste into the emails. Thunderbird evidently sent out the draft in its current format whenever I switched away from the app.

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.

I have installed and started using Thunderbird for Android for a few weeks now. I'm loving it. There's one feature I miss from my previous e-mail client. I wish the App had that "Undo" feature where right after deleting an e-mail or archiving it and things like that you can quickly undo the action. In other clients, this is just a small popup that shows up for just a few seconds after you take the action. Many times I find that to be useful when you are quickly going through many spam messages, for example, but accidentally delete one you didn't mean to.

I can't find such a feature. Is it hidden somewhere, if not where can I make a suggestion for the team to add this? Thanks. -Eli
