Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

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

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 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.

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.

Messages are left there for weeks and weeks without a moderator getting around to approve them. Yes I'm talking about https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/premod/moderationitemspage/tab/unmoderated:idea

Hi. I am finding, as I use TB Android more and more, that some messages - I know coming from gmail but perhaps also others - come in lacking attachments. In the message list I clearly see the paper clip icon. But when the message is opened I see no sign of an attachment anywhere. This is true even when I tap download complete message at the very bottom. But I can easily see it on the gmail website AND if I download the message into TB desktop.

Anyone have any idea what is happening here?

Thanks

I have thunderbird installed on my android phone and my Dell laptop. I want to be able to sync my email accounts so I don't have to delete all my emails in both places. My laptop does not give me the IMAP option, only POP3. Thanks for any advise!!

I just updated to K-9 mail 12.0 on CalyxOS 6.10.20 Which is an Android version 15 K-9 mail crashes on startup. Clearing cache does not work. I'm asking here before i clear all data and try again
