Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I have been using Thunderbird as my mail service for many years, using it on the PC and my smartphone. Since several weeks ago, for an unknown reason, the "SENT" folder on the smartphone shows all the messages which were sent, but not with the correct name of the person/organization to who the email was sent. All my messages in the "SENT" folder are recorded as having been sent to "Lucie Payant" with a picture of her avatar, instead of showing the name of the real correspondent.

However, the "SENT" folder on my PC is fine and shows the correct correspondent to whom the email was sent to.

I verified all my settings, and, as far as I know, everything seems correct on my cell. This situation is very annoying and confusing.

Can you help me please. Raymond

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!

I use the Unified Inbox feature and generally keep the Unread filter on unless I'm looking or searching for a specific message. Opening the app or reloading the Inbox takes up to 15-sec to go from a blank screen to showing the messages. I do have all the inboxes indexed on the device but the issue was observed with the standard 25 message limit as well. I have not had similar delays or have been met with a blank screen every time an email app is opened. Is there an ability to speed up the initial and subsequent loading times? It does hamper workflows and skews the perception of the app towards being inefficient or otherwise less than capable compared to similar apps.

my password. I did it and now I have to update my various programs and apps to the new password to access my emails, but the Thunderbird mail program that runs on my smartphone (Redmi Note 13) doesn't allow me to change my password. It almost seems like I have to delete the account and add it again from scratch. Is it absolutely necessary or is there an alternative system?

Hello, I'm having a problem with emails on my computer and phone. Even though I have the "Don't delete messages from the server" setting, my messages aren't synchronized between my phone and computer. If a message is downloaded to my phone, it doesn't appear on my computer. What should I configure to prevent this from happening?

I initially used the K-9 email client and switched to Thunderbird sometime last year. For almost a year now, I haven't received any notifications from Thunderbird when new emails arrive, which I believe worked initially.

Then new emails weren't displayed at all; I had to manually refresh my inboxes and folders. A recent update seems to have fixed at least this issue, as new emails are now available when I open my inboxes. However, I still don't receive any notifications.

I have also checked the notifications settings and the permissions, it is always mentioned that the "Alarms and reminders" permission is required, but I don't have this permission. Reinstall the app and reconfigure from the Windows Thunderbird didn't helped as well.

Specs: Phone is a OnePlus 8 Pro OxigenOS 13.1 Android 13

Any help is very welcome; I don't want to reset the device hoping it will work, only to find out that it didn't help.

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.

Hi there, I recently switched to thunderbird and it's been working great on Windows desktop but try as I may I can get it to work on android. I followed the prompts to export the settings and that all seemed to work but the app won't connect to the incoming and outgoing servers. I've checked and the details are the same as the desktop (via Bridge) but it just says failed to connect every time.

I'm also only showing an outbox and no other folders in the app. I searched the forum and found others with this issue but no solutions. Is this a dead end and I'm better off going back to Outlook or is there a solution to this?

Thanks in advance 😊

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.

I can go to any File Manager and send a file to TB, but from within TB itself regardless of composing new or replying, I can only attach Media, as the app only invokes the Media picker when tapping the Paper Clip icon.

Android 14, latest TB from Play Store.

On a 15" tablet, it would be nice to see the imap folders permanently, so i could drag emails to them. Im a librarian and i like to have a nice structured subject ordered inbox. But i cant find any ways to fix the folders list to the left side..

Hi,

Every time the phone was sleeping, i need to restart TB, or it will not refresh imap folders (3 accounts active, one icloud).

Once it gets restarted, everything is working as expected.

What to do?

Best regards,

Andy

I'm using the Thunderbird email client to connect to a few of my Zoho emails. This has worked perfectly well before.

It has stopped syncing emails since yesterday. When I try to reconnect the account I get an error like this:

readStringUntil(): end of stream reached. Read: "" while waiting for

Is there an active issue with this? Anything I can do to fix?

Thanks !

Hi All,

I am installing Thunderbird from official GitHub releases and I am wondering why I am getting info from Obtainium that thunderbird-14.0 is something called "pseudo-release".

Can someone explain me this term regarding GitHub apk files? Is it OK to install it?

Regards, Timo

I have recently installed thunderbird on my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy A16 5G). I have set up push according to the guide on the Mozilla website but doesn't work. No error message, just continues to operate as before - polling every 15 minutes.

Gjelder epost beta. Hvorfor får dere ikke til slik at vi brukere kan for andre navn på mapper. Skal du lagre en epost fra innboksen til mappe, så kommer det opp andre mapper/navn. Kunne gjerne se bare navnet på mappen og ikke med andre mapper/navn på mappene. Redigere navn på mappen hadde hvert greit. Ellers fungere epost veldig greit.

I just upgraded to V14.0.and I hate the new accounts screen. Is there away to either show the account screen with all the accounts visible (like V13.0?) or downgrade? I searched the general settings and couldn't find any way to change this. And yes, I know there's an account drop down. TIA.
