Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

You sent six codes which I did not get on my Android phone. I had to go online to get the code numbers. Something's wrong with this all.

Nothing is going into any of the sent folders that I have sent, I am not getting emails, like your codes, properly and I'm using this account for business.

I cannot find a way to refresh Mozilla, nor can I find a way to associate my sent folder to receive sent emails although my server is not having this problem showing them.

I've read directions on Google I can't even get to anything like that to make a change.

Please help please advise what's wrong with this? Thank you, Deborah

I have a visual impairment. Iwould like to use Thunderbird for Android but after installation AND BEFORE CONFIGURING ANY EMAIL ACCOUNT, I need to play with it (specially settings), so I can check whether I can use it or not. Things like font size, theme and colors are crucial. But Thunderbird does not allow this. It requires an email account. It is a bit ridiculous, I don-t even know if I'll be able to use it!!!

Can anyone please help?

Thank you so much.

Hi All, I have been sending emails through Android Thunderbird, but they aren't being synced to the server, so I can't see them anywhere else. I've set the Sent folder to sync (as well as the Inbox). Pressing the sync button just spins the indicator, but doesn't actually sync. When I try to move or copy messages, an error comes up saying that messages can't be copied or moved that aren't synconised. How can all my messages (sent, inbox, everything) be synced so that I can see them everywhere? I've just turned on sync debugging, will see the results soon.

On the PC version you can trust a sender and allow the download of images with that sender's emails The Android version seems to default, sensibly, to making you accept images each time Is this likely to change?

I have set all Notifications on (there seems to be a dozen on/off switches) but new emails do not trigger a marker on the Thunderbird logo or any other form of notification I have to open Thunderbird just to get new messages to download Is there a setting I need to change?

Bonjour à tous, Je cherche comment afficher images distantes par défaut. Jusque là, elles sont cachées et un message s'ajoute : les visualisation des mails ouverts est inutilement compliquée (à mon sens, le principe de sécurité, annoncé à chaque fois à ce sujet, n'est pas adapté.). Merci de m'aider à grive fer le moyen de mettre automatique des "images distantes" par défaut 😊. Bonne journée !

When I launch Thunderbird after downloading an update I get a message that says 'the installation seems to be incomplete. Check your hardware (what hardware?) and disk set up and/or reinstall. How do I check hardware and disk? If i reinstall will I lose my old messages?

I wish thunderbird/firefox would stop behaving as if everyone knows how to repair these things. I still haven't managed to stop thunderbird from asking for and often rejecting my email password, despite two kind people trying to sort it out.

I still don't get links in my emails I have tried everything in the forum but no luck I actually get the expanded version. This is only the case with the android app

change on your Mozilla account from:

Chrome Mobile on Android 10 Charlotte, NC, United States (estimated) Monday, Jan 26, 2026 4:33:09 PM (EST)

Currently we can send or reply to emails as plain text on Thunderbird for Android. Can we please update it to allow viewing Emails as plain text (disabling HTML) as on the desktop versions of Thunderbird, to allow for easier viewing of emails with formatting?

Hi, great mail client! I have two email accounts and would like to suggest:

(1) Switching from one account to the other takes too many clicks. By using the three lines top left, I would like to get to the ACOUNTS LIST directly. That could be implemented as a switch in the settings or as an own button/icon on the pages of the mail items.

(2) Next to the sub directories I would like to see the number of total mails per folder - not only the new ones. The desktop version has that feature.

Thank you for considering my suggestions. Best regards, Gert1

i still can't believe there is no way to print emails in your mobile app. I even downloaded the beta, but it also gave me no way to print an email. What's my money going to? I've seen many people ask for this its such a basic operation. I'm hoping you will get this, or I will have to change to another program

In the older K-9, when one changed the active account, the inbox for the newly selected account would just be shown immediately. No need for any other operations on my part.

Now I have to tap on the inbox to get there. This seems an awful nuisance and offers little to anyone, I suspect.

Is there some way to get the old K-9 behavior?

Thanks!

In V.10, it used to be I had to really swipe all the way left for delete to occur.

Now in V.13 only a small/partial movement deletes.

This is tool easy to mis-trigger. Please go back.

Thanks

I'm looking for the Thunderbird for Android user manual. Is there something like that available to read? All I found was scattered FAQs.

No, I don't have a specific question. I just want to read the whole manual.

Looking at the screen, which identity does everybody think this message is going out as?

We observe those three possibilities. See the first image. Apparently the first possibility is the one that is chosen. I'm talking about just an email address with no name.

Okay, in the second image it turns out it was not the first possibility that was chosen it was the second possibility.

However at the bottom of the screen again we see it seems to be saying it was the first possibility.

No I'm not saying I ever expected it to be the first possibility. I'm just saying that this needs all to be 150% more clearer.

I'm not asking any questions I'm actually reporting of bug, yes.
