Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Hi - it was super-easy to export my settings from Windows and import them into Thunderbird Android. The app is much faster than the Gmail app, I do like it. However, I've got a couple of issues:

- deleting a read email (from my inbox) permanently deletes it, it doesn't go to trash. - It appears that there is no address book for this application. Moreover, I can't find a way to have it look at my Google contacts - so I have to lookup and copy/paste my email recipients. I'm sure I am overlooking something. Other posts suggested something from the ... menu when composing, but I don't see an option to select from (Google) contacts.

Thanks for any assistance!

Hello,

I can't find / activate a print function in Thunderbird

Tunderbird version 8.2 Chrome OS 14541.0.0

I cannot find any references to this in the forums

What do I need to do or install additionally?

Best regards

Hi, I have been a Thunderbird user for 10 years. I recently decided to install the mobile version on Android (Samsung Galaxy 23). Everything went well, I synchronized accounts using QR codes, but I don't know how to synchronize folders with emails. I found a couple of pretty stupid methods on the net using conversion to PDF and uploading them to the phone, but that doesn't work for me. I would like my PC and phone to automatically synchronize and when I receive an email in my inbox, it should be displayed on both devices. Is this possible and if so, how do I achieve it? Thank you in advance for your answer, SEAS

Hello, here’s the problem: I had / have 3 GMX mailboxes in Thunderbird on my PC. After I installed Thunderbird Mobile and spent several hours with it, I deleted all the mailboxes to import them again. Apparently, this also deleted all the mailboxes on GMX, as they are no longer visible there. I also can’t create new ones there, as the old ones seem to still be somewhere in the Background. In Thunderbird Mobile, I restored the mailboxes via import, but they are completely empty! Thunderbird Mobile has no connection to GMX. What can I do? I go to bed...

Hello, I've got the french version of Thunderbird on my laptop. I want to have it now on my smartphone Android. But impossible to find the function "move to mobile" in the parameterss... Please help me !

I'm now using your android version. I'm a bit disappointed, there's still no contact management. A contactless email program...how stupid! Are you planning to do it soon?

I just installed the Android mobile version of Thunderbird. I was wondering if it supports any form/method of SPAM filtering? If so, how do I access/use it?

TIA!

When replying to a message the reply is not attached as a new in a thread. It only show up in Sent folder.This is happening in mobile app despite appropriately working in a desktop version. I don't see any way to change this in folder settings?

Thunderbird Mobile was installed 1 hour ago. Deleting emails on Thunderbird Mobile deletes on device only, but not on server. Accounts have been imported from desktop version. Server types are IMAP Mail Server.

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

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

I was very excited to hear about Thunderbird for Android. I have been using K-9 for years. My account is a POP account. I have only 3 gripes with K-9 that I hope are addressed in Thunderbird for Android.

1) K-9 does not allow me to create local subfolders to organize my emails. My inbox is a monster of disorganized emails and so the search option is my only friend. 2) If I should accidentally delete an email in K-9 I cannot undelete it. 3) K-9 has never provided a way to directly print emails. I have to forward the email to my print server.

Please, can anyone tell me if these deficiencies have been addressed in Thunderbird for Android?

Many thanks.

Richard
