Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Hi. How do i change my settings so that I don't need to press "download complete message"? Seems like a 1990s choice to default to not load messages directly if you ask me.

Hello, I have recently installed Proton Bridge on my desktop computer (Ubuntu Studio) so I can use Thunderbird for my Protonmail Account and my Gmail account - that all seems to work fine. I'm now trying to get Thunderbird for Android to add my Protonmail account - it is fine with my Gmail account. I took a screenshot of the error message which I will attach. I tried both my usual Protonmail password and the one given to me by Proton Bridge, neither work. I have a paid subscription. Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

Dodałem swoje konto pocztowe Microsoft z końcówka hotmail.com, do tego konta mam jeszcze alias Outlook.com, ponieważ używam prywatnie i służbowo z różnych aliasów. Po dodaniu konta hotmail, nie mogę dodać Outlook, wyświetla się błąd konfiguracji poczty wychodzącej.

i know that thunderbird for android works differently than desktop version, that's ok. i ask here to add to thunderbird-android function of backup emails to mbox-file, collect emails from selected server and make backup in mbox file which can than be opened in thunderbird-desktop. i must emphasize, i don't ask that thunderbird-android should be capable of handling mbox-files, this would be pure backup functionality.

The IMAP server I use has two namespaces that I access using Thunderbird desktop. The first namespace is "/" - effectively "INBOX". The second is a public namespace shared by numerous persons. Let's call it "Public" for purposes of discussion.

Thunderbird desktop correctly identifies that I have access to both namespaces and I can see folders in each. On Thunderbird Android (beta), if I "Auto-detect IMAP namespace" it correctly finds "/" (i.e., my private INBOX) but does not see the "Public" folders. If I turn off "Auto-detect IMAP namespace" and enter the IMAP path prefix explicitly (i.e., "Public") it can then see the Public folders, but not my private INBOX.

The workaround has been to create two accounts in T-Bird Android, one for INBOX and the other for Public. This works, but is not ideal.

Either the "Auto-detect IMAP namespace" needs to be made more like Thunderbird desktop (able to detect multiple namespace paths) or there needs to be a syntax that allows a user to specify multiple paths. E.g., "/;Public" or something like that. Maybe such a syntax already exists? I couldn't find anything in the documentation about it.

Thanks for creating T-Bird Android. With the demise of MailDroid I have moved a bunch of users that I support over to T-Bird Android.

I've been using K-9 for years. I also have been using an app called Hours Tracker (http://hourstrackerapp.com) every day for . . . well, literally decades now. Every week I use K-9 to send my weekly time record to myself. Hours Tracker exports the time log to two files and then creates an email with the two files attached.

For some reason, about three weeks ago K-9 started attaching only one of the two files. If I back up in the process and select Outlook as the email app, it works as expected.

Let me know if I can provide more info.

Thanks!

Thunderbird For Android was added to my phone using the QR Code generated by Android for Desktop many months ago. There have been no problems at all with Desktop for Android. But, I have just recognized a problem.

In Thunderbird for Desktop (139.0b4) there is a folder named: - "Sent". In File|Subscribe it is not subscribed - "Sent Mail". It is in the Gmail group in File|Subscribe; it is subscribed - "Sent Email" contains three messages (which is reported)

In Thunderbird for Android (v10) there is a folder named: - "Sent". Nothing is reported. - "Sent Mail". Nothing is reported

As I am hesitant to do any experimenting in the Android installation, I am asking this question: What changes do I need to make in order to have a single folder (preferably "Sent Emails") in each installation of Thunderbird?

Thank you for your help!
