Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I have looked at past comments about the lack of an address book with Thunderbird for Android and the responses are not how life works. If I had to save every contact in my Google contacts it would have tens of thousands of contacts and be unusable because it was so large.

The way life works, you mat correspond with someone you are doing business with from one or 2 times, over the couse of a month until the task is done, and maybe for the rest of your life, who you would put in your address book.

I am currently apply for a ------. I am corresponding with a group of individuals until it closes and then I will never correspond with them again.

It is a hassle to go back to the previous email to copy their email addresses. It would be nice if TB remembered that I have been corresponding with them, and auto fill their address, like the desktop version and other email apps. Likewise, I don't want to save them in permanent contacts. If I had to do that, my permanent contacts would be unmanageable.

So yes, Thunderbird needs an address book like the desktop version. This is a deal breaker. TB was excellent in synchronization with the servers but if I have to go back the previously received emails to get their addresses, I'll have to bail on TB.

Please listen, you can see I'm not the only one.

Is there a way to hide the popup asking for support either permanently or for a longer period?

I fully get the need to ask for support, but this one pops up many times a day, which is just too much.

Is there a way (or can there be a way in the future?) of moving multiple messages from my Inbox to a different folder? I like to organize my email into folders, and currently I can only move them by opening each email individually and moving them. Being able to select several messages and move them would be great!

Hi, I have been using Thunderbird for Android for about a month. Loving it. Easy to set up and use. I have three email accounts. The unified inbox showed all emails until yesterday. Now it seems to be showing random emails from all 3 accounts but not all. I have to go to each inbox to get the full overview. What can be wrong?

Some app may be trying to helpful; instead it's annoying. When typing (SwiftKey) in T-Bird (tablet and phone) SOMETHING is adding words it thinks MIGHT be helpful like "suggestions." Have to delete them to continue typing. Just started about a week ago. Do I have some setting set incorrectly in T-Bird? Any ideas what might be doing it?

When I "Star" an email it disappears out of Inbox completely and I can only see it if I click on the "Star" option in the sorting menu. I've looked to see if there is a "Starred" folder but can't find one. I've now discovered that if someone replies to an email that I've starred I get no notification at all, it is just added to the thread. The next time I sort by Star I suddenly see unread replies to previously starred emails - bit of a nightmare! So, is there a way that I can adjust settings to: 1. Leave starred messages in the Inbox (or the folder that I move them to), but allow me to sort by Star when I need to? 2. Have new replies to previously starred messages appear as new notifications, the same way they do for normal emails.

Thanks!

I have a lot of folders in my account and most have sub folders. When I search the folders, it shows all the sub folders making selection a long task. Is it possible to hide these sub folders as you can in GMail for android and TB for PCs.

I have the Android T-bird app on my Google Pixel 9.

I am having constant problems with it not syncing.

This morning, when I swiped down, the kept spinning but did not connect. When i tapped the sync icon at the bottom left of the screen, nothing!

Nothing changed after rebooting the phone, which BTW takes almost twice as long as the reboot on my previous Samsung phones.

I have now uninstalled and reinstalled, and imported my settings using the QR code on my desktop. It imported my accounts, but asked me to sign in or sign in later. There is no link for signing in immediately, and sign in later does not allow any sign in opportunity.

I now have no emails imported to the app.

Any help would be appreciated

Hello, here’s the problem: I had / have 3 GMX mailboxes in Thunderbird on my PC. After I installed Thunderbird Mobile and spent several hours with it, I deleted all the mailboxes to import them again. Apparently, this also deleted all the mailboxes on GMX, as they are no longer visible there. I also can’t create new ones there, as the old ones seem to still be somewhere in the Background. In Thunderbird Mobile, I restored the mailboxes via import, but they are completely empty! Thunderbird Mobile has no connection to GMX. What can I do? I go to bed...

I'm wondering if Thunderbird on Android can autocomplete email addresses that are not in my address book.

For example, I respond to an email from xyz@abc.com. When I create a new message, not a reply, and type in "xyz@" it fails to find anything. This is the opposite of how Gmail or iOS Mail works.

I have been running Tbird on my desktop for years, and it's still working great.

About 2 years ago I picked up a One Plus 11G which came with no e-mail client. I searched for Tbird and found K9 mail (with promises of Tbird soon), which I installed and used since then with no problems.

Few months ago, i got my wife a Samsung23+ and she used the supplied e-mail and messaging programs but constantly complained that she could have only one notification sound for both mails and texts and wanted to tell them apart. I told her I'd have to install a separate mail app so she could have two different sounds.

OK, I checked and finally found that Tbird was now available for Android so i installed it on her phone and she is very happy now.

Since it worked for her, I decided to install it on my phone to replace K9 Mail, and that's when the fun started.

It works great for incoming mails, but when I try to send mails via WiFi or via cell, I get a "Failed to send some messages sender refused" notification.

I got another phone and installed Tbird and it behaves the same way on that phone whether I set it up as POP (my usual setting) or IMAP.

I've installed other mail apps (GMAIL and Edison)and they send out with no problems both POP and IMAP.

If I go to the the Optonline web mail site via Firefox on my phone, I have no issues sending out mails, but that is a clunky way to do since Tbird normally worked so well as it is now or in iots earlier K9 version.

Any idea what is causing this problem only with Tbird? I really like Tbird and I don't like the other two apps.

I'd like to make sure that my Thunderbird is in the server type of IMAP I'm new at this so I don't know how it is connected to a another server email which I would eventually like to close out and delete but keep everything in my Thunderbird.

Hi Thunderbirds!

Hi, when I search for emails from "name person," the search does not return results. When I search by email address, it does not find emails from that person but instead finds emails from other people. It isn't working? 🫥🤔

Hi. For a long time, I've noticed that emails I send from home are sent, but those I try to send with the same settings do not get sent when connected to the Internet in 4 out of 4 cafes. My ISP, Zen, hasn't been able to explain why. I've tested whether Google VPN blocks it somehow, and it doesn't. I normally use Thunderbird. Today, I found that, in the same cafe, messages I tried to send using Thunderbird failed to send, whereas there was no problem with GMail, Proton Mail or Outlook. Any suggestions?

Hi If i get a mail with a PDF, I can't open it. The Programm i use to open, says that the File is damaged. With the PC or other mail programs i can open it. Any idears?
