Hello, I've got the french version of Thunderbird on my laptop. I want to have it now on my smartphone Android. But impossible to find the function "move to mobile" in the parameterss... Please help me !

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.

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!

As of recently I can not use the "Empty Spam" or "Empty Trash" options I have to literally select all items in the trash it junk/spam folder and hit the trash button.

Any suggestions?

Running release 21.0

Functionality and usability issue: I use the Thunderbird for Android app as an adjunct to my desktop installation. Recently I had occasion to reply to an email in Android to one "to" recipient and needed to add two "cc" recipients, but found no way to add the cc recipients without deleting the existing cc recipients and having to input the entire (dynamic) group again, but then was also stymied by that. How best to handle this issue?

Other than that issue, the lack of desktop contacts synching, and the lack of spam filtering, Thunderbird for Android has been a huge help, so thanks to the developers for their dedication and hard work.

I just downloaded your app (thunderbird) to download some important emails for my lawyer about my SSDI case.

I moved all of the ones I needed to a folder of their own.

I went into your app, found them and apparently clicked something that made them all disappear, it was not "delete" or the trashcan icon.

I've googled and everything I read tells me to go to the trash folder. I do not have a trashcan folder.

Please help.

I have an samsung s26 ultra, and I have all the configuration correctly, but when I receive a email app does sync automatically and it never show me notifications, I must open app an manually sync

Hello, Not sure if my first post was published.

Over the last week non of my mails was sent to the SMTP server. I uninstalled the account to start over again.

Upon configuring the mailbox account, the MAPI step was successful.

However, configuring the SMTP server, I am receiving an error: Unexpected end of stream (view image) What is the solution?

Hey there. Hope you're all doing just fine.

TL;DR Tried moving all my email messages from GMail to Infomaniak. Worked fine because I can see all my old GMail messages now on my Infomaniak Inbox using Thunderbird on my PC. But my phone refuses to show me the latest messages. It only shows me messages from 2025. --- Now with a lot more detail. I use Thunderbird as my email client of choice on both my Android phone and on my Linux (Manjaro) PC. TB on the PC is running 140.8.1esr 64 bit flatpak installed. TB on my phone reads 16.1 and has been installed from the github repository using Obtainium. I use IMAP for receiving and SMTP for sending. No POP3.

I have two email accounts. One at GMail and another at Infomaniak. Up until recently, I've only had the GMail account set up on both my phone and PC. I've been using Infomaniak as webmail just for testing. But recently I've decided to add Infomaniak's to both my Thunderbirds and move all my emails from GMail to Infomaniak. I used Google Takeout to download the mbox files (inbox, archive and sent), then using my PC I loaded the mbox files in my "Local Files" and finally I moved the messages to my Infomaniak correct IMAP folders.

It all looks just fine in my Linux PC. But on my phone I can only see messages from 2025 on my inbox. And I have many messages from 2026. I can see them using TB on my PC, or via the webmail. They just won't show on my phone.

EDIT: It only shows me messages from 2025 and prior to that. But it doesn't show me all messages from 2025. Many messages from 2025 are also missing. And from previous years too. This is not happening on the inbox folder only. It is also happening on all the other folders too. It's as if TB was filtering the messages. It's driving me nuts.

I've already tried clearing TB's data and import my settings. Still only have messages from 2025. What could be going on with Tbird on my phone?? Thanks in advance. Cheers

Can I build my own version of Thunderbird for Android from the Github source? There is a (ridiculous) shortcoming in Thunderbird and also K-9 that seems trivial to fix. Indeed, K-9 does occasionally fix it, only to remove the fix in subsequent versions.

I have some experience with creating Windows applications from Github code, but have no idea how to build an Android app ...

Thanks for any thoughts.

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

Hi all,

I have tried on K9, and Thunderbird Mobile.

On my tablet, with K9 mail, I exported my fully working accounts, and imported to my phone. All worked, except one account, where it only has an outbox. No inbox, no sent folder, nothing.

I then Installed Thunderbird mobile, and used the QR code link in the desktop app, to sync to it. Same issue. All other accounts work fine, but not that one account. Only an outbox.

I've logged into the web version of that account, and no restrictions are on folders. And it's only on my phone. On tablet it's fine.

I can't even choose folders in settings, for sent, etc, as there are none to choose.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Within my Outlook.com email account i have an archive folder with 36 sub folders.

In the Thunderbird app for Android only 2 of these sub folders are visible.

I cannot find any setting that to resolve this issue

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?
