I would like to suggest a new feature for the Thunderbird Android app: the ability to set up a built-in lock using a password, PIN, or biometric authentication.

This feature is already available in other apps, such as the Ente Auth app and the proprietary email app Spark. It adds an additional layer of security for users, ensuring that even if the device is accessed by someone else, sensitive email information remains protected.

The benefits of implementing this feature include:

1. Enhanced Privacy: Protecting user data from unauthorized access in case of device sharing or loss.

2. User Convenience: Providing an option to secure only the email app without relying on full device locks.

3. Increased User Trust: Demonstrating a commitment to privacy and security, which can attract more users to the Thunderbird app.

This functionality aligns with the privacy-first philosophy that Thunderbird embodies and would be a valuable addition for those who prioritize security in their email management.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Best regards.

Hi, I have wildcard certyficate for my domain, and i use them in all SSL connection (IMAP/SMTP/WEB etc.). On desktop thunderbird it's connecting by imap without any issues, website are correct, but on mobile i have security alert that it's insecure. I think that i could be something with wildcard. Do anyone have the same problem. After accepting risk there is working perfect.

Thunderbird for Android: How to delete folders (IMAP)?

I can't find a way to delete a mail folder using the Thunderbird Android mail client. I'm using IMAP to access my mail account, so I'm talking about server side folders, not local ones. I know I can delete them using the desktop version of Thunderbird - but for e.g. a friend of mine that uses mobile devices exclusively for her mails that is not an option. So am I missing something here? Is there any way to delete a folder within Thunderbird Android?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

I've recently switched hosting providers (to Hostinger) and also started using Thunderbird (as it offered a better way to transfer emails across from previous provided and have them in same email client).

Since doing that, my sent emails are continually getting blocked (marked as spam) and I have to contact Hostinger support to "unblock" my account. They've done some investigation and suggested that it is something to do with the email Header (they actually said a "missing header"). I've compared what is generated in the header when using the Hostinger webmail vs Thunderbird for Android, and one obvious difference is that there is no X-Sender in the Thunderbird for Android header (it also not present when using Desktop client)

Could this be the cause of the issue? I can't locate where I can ensure X-Sender is included in the Header. Is there anything else I can check?

Thanks

Thunderbird for Android just installed, would love to use this instead of current Outlook client. Long email threads showing as unacceptably indented, down to one letter per line some cases. Occurs TB android but less so Outlook android, and TB desktop. One workaround is to view emails as plain text on TB desktop, they then wrap beautifully. Any plans to allow plain text render on TB android? Or any idea how to view badly indented emails so they fill the pane? Thank you for the good work!

I would like to know if there's a way to see the date format MM/DD e.g. Nov.29 in all of my inbox/outbox emails. Right now all emails that are received/sent during the current week are showing only the day like Mon, Wed, Sat etc. without having the usual format MM/DD Is there any setting that I can use if I want to see email date in different format e.g. M/DD/YY?
