Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

When I access my email on my computer using Thunderbird, I have it set to downloaded the emails locally and remove from the server. Starting today, WHEN I access my email using Thunderbird in my phone, all the messages are still there, and I have to manually delete them, and they still stay on my computer email app. I need Thunderbird on Android to start removing them again once I clear the server.

Hello I'm a longtime user and regular supporter of Thunderbird for Desktop. I have installed Thunderbird for Android on my smartphone. I have exported my settings from Thunderbird for Desktop & imported the QR code in Thunderbird for Android. Thunderbird for Desktop asks for a password. Why doesn't Thunderbird for Android ask for a password ? What am I doing wrong ?

Why can't I see my emails in Thunderbird for Andoid ? 

Now when I try to Get Messages in Thunderbird fo Desktop the following message is displayed : "The certificate for mail.first-rate.info is not valid for that server. Someone could bee trying to impersonate the server and you should not continue." So now I can't see my emails on Thunderbird for Desktop. What do I have to do to be able to see my emails ?

I have a Gmail account. I use a Duck Duck email address as my main email & forward to my Gmail. Can.i assume Thunderbird will download all Duck Duck emails as long as they're forwarded to the Gmail account?

I've got a new phone after the last one went missing. I tried to put my usual Virgin Media email onto Thunderbird and get 'authentication failed' I've checked the server name, port and connection security match those on my desktop. Grateful for suggestions thanks

I use a mail forwarding service, Fastmail, used to be Pobox. The entire body of the message is visible in fastmail, if I log in directly to fastmail. I have my fastmail account set to forward messages to a Gmail account, which is linked to my mobile Thunderbird app.

The message header appears in that Thunderbird Inbox, but the body is empty.

I have checked the message size limits in fastmail, gmail, and the Thunderbird app. They are all at least 10Mb.

The particular message is only 3.7 Mb total according to details on fastmail. Also not forwarding as attachment

Where is the message body?

Thank you for any suggestions.

I'm using Thunderbird android app for the first time, and configured my mailbox.org account. Incoming mail appears just fine. I've confirmed my outgoing server settings and I get the message 'Outgoing server settings verified'. But when I try to send a message it just stays in my Outbox. I've tried tapping 'Send message' on the Outbox screen but nothing happens. Any ideas?

Why if you save 2 drafts does the second save wipe out the first? Why is the spell checker used in Write so patchy and disjointed? Why is the select text- cut copy paste- so useless in amending mail?

Why does it somtimes eat emails - they just disapperar.? Why is the share function so limited - docx-

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.

My email provider sometimes fails to send mail, so I find the mail that didn't send in the sending box (发件箱; I don't know the name in English), use the "edit as new mail" option in the mail 3-dot menu (there's a pencil icon on the top of the screen, but it has no reaction) and tap send button again. I find that every time I do this, the mail's sender identity is reset to the default identity.

I know my Thunderbird version is not latest and is beta, but I'm hesitant about updating. Is it a bug or designed behavior?

Steps to reproduce: 1. Turn off your device's network. 2. Compose and send a mail with an identity that's not the default. 3. Find the mail in the sending box, and choose "edit as new mail". 4. Hit send button. 5. View mail in sending box, it now uses the default identity.

Hi. i am having problems seeing up an email Group. I have carefully set up a new group with 12 members and sent out an email to the members and it arrives only to me. The other members do not receive it. Tried several ways. Please let me know what to do

An unusual situation. I have 2 email addresses--one is a "comcast.net" address (imported via Yahoo), the other is a "gmail.com" address. Emails from BOTH addresses show up in the UNIFIED EMAIL FOLDER. The "Gmail" email ALSO shows up in the "GMAIL EMAIL FOLDER"....but the "Comcast" emails DO NOT SHOW UP IN THE "COMCAST" EMAIL FOLDER.

I've been unable to locate a previously asked/answered question on this issue. Help appreciated.

Good morning,

Yesterday I wrote a comment about the Thunderbird app and support asked me to submit a report. I then received an email telling me to open a ticket—I honestly don't know how—or to send an email. Here's my problem:

1) The most serious issue is that push notifications aren't working as described. Specifically, I disabled battery restrictions, selected the primary account, went to folder management, and enabled push notifications in the inbox. I tested it by sending an email, and everything worked perfectly. Then I went to the second account I registered, then folder management, and that's where the problem arises. Regardless of the account I use, it always lets me manage folders only from the first account, and that's a major problem. Despite this, even after 15 minutes or with the app open, I still don't receive emails for the accounts, not even after an hour. I have to force the emails to be received, and then Thunderbird shows them to me.

2) In the combined view, it's not possible to move emails into the folders of the mailbox to which they belong. I'm forced to go into the specific mailbox each time and operate. I've tried various clients, and none of the combined view forces you to go into the specific mailbox.

3) Absurd attachment management. If an email has an attachment, I have to click three times to change the view each time. The first click switches from the combined view to the email, the second click switches from the email to the attachments. The third click finally opens the attachments. Other clients just click on the preview.

I look forward to your feedback. Thank you. Julian

I want to move email messages around in local folders, but "move" doesn't show even when enabled in settings when the account is POP3

However when using IMAP it is worse as the App keeps messing not only with the server messages an folders, but also with other devices.

Hello,

For a few days everything worked perfectly. Now suddenly I cannot fetch any emails on neither Thunderbird for android nor Thunderbird on Ubuntu. Both latest versions at time of writing. Sending mails works. Another email client works, another email address from the same server (but different domain) does work.

Any ideas what I can do?

I am experiencing a problem with Thunderbird for Android.

My setup:

• Smartphone: Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (SM-S918B)
• Android version: Android 16
• Computer: Windows PC
• Desktop email client: Thunderbird for Windows (latest version)
• Email accounts are configured and working correctly on the Windows version of Thunderbird.

The issue concerns the Android application. Despite using the same email address, login credentials and server settings that work correctly on my Windows computer, I am unable to properly configure or synchronize the account in Thunderbird for Android.

The desktop version connects without any issues, while the Android application either rejects the settings or fails to synchronize properly.

I have already:

• verified the email address and password,
• confirmed that the same credentials work on the Windows version,
• checked the incoming and outgoing server settings,
• reinstalled the Android application,
• ensured that the device has an active internet connection.

Could you please advise what additional steps I should take to resolve the issue?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards,
