Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Hi, when loading my mails from Microsoft Outlook account they are not loaded correctly ordered. The first 100 mails are partly from this year and partly from 2004. If I want to see this year's mails I need to load the whole folder which is about 12,000 mails. That's too heavy and slows down everything. Can I avoid this behaviour? Maybe by copying all mails to a new folder to regain the correct order? Thanks & regards, Michael

With Thunderbird for Windows, my system shows total emails unread. In Thunderbird for Android, it shows 99+. Can this be changed to show total? I have emails I don't need to read, but need to keep them for records.

ALSO Windows shows the total emails in a different color when there are new emails. This doesn't happen with Android version, or am I missing something?

Can other colors be used besides light and dark theme? Selecting multiple emails to delete and the color change is very slight.

I installed the app on my new Google phone. It configured itself fine. Iwas able to adjust a few things like delivery intervals. I want to change some other options but I can't find the settings page. Can you direct me? TIA bill

Hello I'm new to Thunderbird for Android. And I'm not really well versed in using all of the options of Gmail. But what I would like to know is how can I sync my folders such as trash or spam with my Gmail account using Thunderbird for Android? I went in and clicked on the sink button to let them sync but they're not doing it. For example I deleted an email and put it into trash but I'd like to archive it. When I go to move it it tells me I cannot move anything from a folder that is not synced. I've searched all over the internet to try to find an answer and I've had no luck. Anybody know what could be the issue?

After many years I see where Thunderbird, I have been using on my Windows 10 for many years, is now available for my S23 I have been using since April 2023. I downloaded Thunderbird from S23 Play store using a USB C wire between my Windows 10 and S23 I get a popup saying "align the QR code provided from Thunderbird Desktop." I have no clue what that means so I called T-Mobile and they have or person I spoke have no clue what I should do. Someone from Mozilla should reach out to T Mobile to explain what to tell its users. What should I do to get Thunderbird on my S23, delete K9 and be happy again? Thanks

Hello, I've been with thunderbrid forever and am a big fan of your desktop version. Yesterday I tried thunderbird for Android beta. So far I need Bluemail on my Android phone and I would like to switch to thunderbrid. But I have a problem with Thunderbird for Android: With Bluemail I can send a mail and it arrives directly on my phone, so without much delay. With Thunderbird, it takes forever until I receive the mail. I could only set Thunderbird to synchronize every 2 minutes. With Bluemail I have an instant push setting, could this be the reason or where can I set Thunderbrid to inform me directly? I hope you can help me, thank you. Yes and the app is already very successful and fast and I hope that it will soon become my standard app. Best regards. Lukas

Hi, i received a mail with an attached eml-file, which afaik is standard hunderbild email format. It's not possible to open the attached file. Androud suggest a bunch of apps installed on my device but none of them is a mail client. How to open eml with K9/TB? If not allready possible pls implement an eml-viewer. Thank you!

I checked out multiple Support/forum posts first, but I found no matches, nor could I find this in the interface.

I just switched to Thunderbird yesterday, due to Microsoft's continually pushing their awful, new Outlook. I'm generally pleased, although I was stunned this morning to find that (when multiple messages are selected on my Android phone) there's no option on any of the More/... menus to Move/Refile all of them at once, if they're going to the same folder. I set one of my swipe actions to Move, but that only works for the individual email I'm swiping on.

Apparently, I have to move every single one separately, which is a pain if you're moving more than one or two. If there's no such option that I missed spotting, *PLEASE* add this to your road map ASAP, since it's a very basic feature to still be missing, for as long as Thunderbird has been around! All essential functions a user can do with one message must be available with multiple ones. Thanks!

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?
