Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Hello, I just organized Thunderbird mobile on my Samsung tablet. On the desktop, Thunderbird shows a menu and a address book. When I get an Email I can save the mail address in my address book. But, Thunderbird mobile doesn't show a menu nor a address book and it does not use the contact saved at the tablet. Can anyone help me to solve this problem? Thanks a lot!! Regards, Monika

Hallo, kürzlich habe ich Thunderbird mobil auf meinem Samsung Tablet installiert. Leider zeigt die App keine Menüleiste und keine Option eines Adressbuches. Dazu greift Thunderbird auch nicht auf gespeicherte Kontakte zu. Bei der Desktopversion wird sowohl die Menüleiste als auch ein Adressbuch angezeigt. Könnte mir bitte jemand behilflich sein, dieses Problem zu lösen? Vielen Dank! Grüße, Monika

Hi. I can receive and send now from Thunderbird for Android, although I have to bypass the VPN to send. I have no trouble replying to an individual, but where do I find Reply to All?

Hello, I'm trying VPNs, but have found that sending mail by Thunderbird for Android is blocked by 4 different VPNs on two different devices with 4 different protocols, while email sending by TypeApp is not. Any ideas?

I receive "daily digest" emails from groups.io. They contain links to individual topics within the digest that provide a quick way to select messages I want to read while skipping the rest.

These links do not work in Thunderbird for Android (they do work in other email readers). Links to external sites do work just fine.

Can this be fixed?

In the desktop version of TB you can select whether messages are deleted on a POP3 server after their download. What is the default on TB for Andorid and can this be changed?

Hi, I still use K9mail as my primary email client. I've been testing Thunderbird for Android for a little while now. Here's my issue:

When I delete an email in thunderbird and sync with the server, I go back to K9mail and sync there too. But the deleted emails are still showing up in my inbox. Am I impatient or is this a real bug?

i set 2 of 6 acconts to "manually only" and there are neverthenless messages in the inbox.why? and how may i suppress or hide them? so i like to see them only if i select "get new mails" of this 2 accounts. All other accounts working fine asthey should.

As an enthusiastic Thunderbird user, I recently installed Thunderbird for Android and set it up using a QR code. Fantastic!

I always sign my outgoing emails with an OpenPGP certificate. I have integrated this on my smartphone using OpenKeychain. The question now is: how do I sign the outgoing emails?

The key is set up correctly with OpenKeyChain, the menu item ‘Activate encryption’ (German: ‘Verschlüsselung aktivieren’) is displayed, but not the menu item ‘Activate PGP-only signing’ (German: PGP-nur-Signieren aktivieren).

Hallo liebes Thunderbird-Team,

besteht die Möglichkeit, Ordner direkt in Thunderbird-Mobile anzulegen oder geht dies nur über den PC mit anschließender Synchronisation?

Vielen herzlichen Dank LG Jürgen

Hello, I have authorised notifications in the Thunderbird application for Android, but I don't receive any when I receive emails. For your information, in Account Settings > Notifications, I checked the first box "Notifications of new emails" and the fifth box "Synchronisation notifications". What's more, in the "Notification categories" section (further down), in the screen that opens before "Emails", the "Alert" and "Application icon badges" boxes are ticked, and there's a sound associated with the "Sound" heading. With all this, I don't get any notification of incoming emails. Thank you for your help, Kind regards, Renaud *Email removed to protect privacy*

In attempting to compose an email, TB does not recognize any contacts when I start typing the first few letters of their email address nor when I try typing their name as it appears in phone contacts. First installed TB on this new phone just a couple days ago, and my recollection is it was working fine. But then I went ahead with the Android 14 update, and after that is when TB seemingly forgot all contacts/email addresses. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling TB, but that made no difference.

When will composing/writing, sending and receiving HTML emails be available, possible in Thunderbird for Android? I know this HTML functionality is not available in K-9 email on Android, but it is available in Thunderbird, Thunderbird Desktop on all other platforms like Windows, Linux and MacOS except Android.
