Hi folks, thanks for the amazing Thunderbird on Android.

I have a couple of observation I'd like to share.

1. When the device's theme is set to dark and Thunderbird follows, some parts of the email body becomes unreadable. This is not the case with Gmail (this is a Gmail account). I am attaching screenshots for this (1.jpeg for Gmail, 2.jpeg for Thunderbird). Is this an expected behavior?

2. The app seems to use green and violet colors for email body by default. And, it misses some of format colors of the email body itself. That is something I do not prefer. Is there a reason why Thunderbird chose this color and formatting? Is there a way to change the colors? Again attaching screenshots for this (please note the arrows I made especially, 3 for Gmail and 4 for Thunderbird and two others I did not number showing the green format (from Udemy)).

3. There are format problems with the Thunderbird (5 for Gmail and 6 for Thunderbird). Are these expected? It makes reading and seeing the mail problematic.

4. I think there is a problem with the way notification times are shown on Thunderbird. In the screenshot 7, you see that notification timestamp for Thunderbird is shown as 14:07. However, none of the emails shown just below have that time. Why would that be the case?

5. Lastly, even though the setting is set for Push, my emails come on average 10-25 minutes later than Gmail app itself. Is this also an expected behavior?

Thank you.

I am dislexic and sometime mis-type the destination domain address. Can I get Thunderbird to check the domain exists before sending it to the mail server? I can't find an addon to do this. Sometimes there is a considerable wait before I get an error message back.

As secretary of a bridge club I use "replay to" very frequently. To my surprise it behaves funny with version 128.4.2. When send to recipients and replaying to the recieved email I see the screen where another account signature is used and the replay is not filled in. As this is send to about 100 people its not nice. Hope you can fix this.

With Sequoia released - the "Writing Tools" invoking Apple's AI are available in most apps now via the context menu (e.g. select a paragraph/block of text and right-click and the context menu or menu bar shows the menu entry "Writing Tools" wherein you can get the Apple AI ecosystem to rewrite, proofread etc - however this is not available yet in Thunderbird 128.4.2 when composing/editing an email.

See the screenshot below - I'm writing this using Safari and it's available here - even for this little message...

I appreciate this is a North American facility at present and you have to fully enable US English on your Mac and then enable "Apple Intelligence" in system settings...but once you have done this, the facility is available in most apps unless the API chosen doesn't support it.

Any thoughts if / when Thunderbird might get updated to use the API to invoke or enable this?

If I can think of the one writing app where I spend most of my time, it's eMail.....while it's true I can select a paragraph and pop it over to Notes via copy-paste, invoke the AI there and paste it back - that's not as convenient.

Running version 8.0, Thunderbird App for Android. Noticing all subfolders are labelled "INBOX.trash, INBOX.Sent Items, INBOX.General".

Wondering if there's a way to remove.the "INBOX" part?

I've looked at other people having the same problem. When I delete an email, the one next to it gets deleted also. This has been going on for some time now. I've lost an important email to this problem. Somehow it needs to just target one email, not any others.I'm using a mouse with a cord at my desktop. The menu at the left expands sometimes, when I don't mean it to do that.

Hi

Problem with emails deletion on google server I deleted email on Tunderbird , mail in the Trash, then empty trash , exit from program. Next day get new messages, and my deleted message comeback again

Any solution how setup Thunderbird for email delete on PC and on the server

Thank you

Just installed. Thunderbird doesn't fetch new messages unless I open the application, anyhow with no notification sound. Couldn't find the solution into the setting. Android notification enabled. Any advice? Thanks and regards Sandro

At first thank you for Thunderbird for Android! I have installed this App and have some questions. Even though I have enabled notifications for the app, I do not receive any notifications when new emails arrive. Is this a mistake or do I need to adjust something else? I also think there is a problem with synchronization. New emails are not retrieved on time and emails deleted in the app are not synchronized. This means that they are not deleted in the desktop program. Is there a solution to this? Best regards Jens Gerlach

Hi there! When I opened the thunderbird in the morning, I don't know if i clicked the wrong button, all my emails and the folder i set was gone, now it just shows the initial folder with only the emails I received today. When I use the search engine to search, it still shows a search result in which I can see the first few lines of emails I received in the past, but when I try to click into it to check details, it's empty, I couldn't see any content. What has happened and how can I fix this? Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I recently moved Thunderbird to a different Hardrive on my PC and after importing my old Profile, it only shows emails I've Replied/Forwarded to in my Sent Messages Folder.

How do I get the messages I've sent, as well as folders I've archived?

Thank you.

I was having some issues with emails in Thunderbird looking encrypted and I was told repairing the folder it was in could fix that. So I did that and it did fix the issue.

Then I was having issues with my sent email folder. I had emails in that folder going back to 2018 because I like to keep everything just in case I need to reference it for some reason. I email a lot and so there were probably 13-14,000 emails.

It took a day or two to repair the sent email inbox and I couldn't hardly use my email at all while that was occurring because every time I would click on something, it would take 30-40 seconds to open it.

Now, every time I send an email, my thunderbird freezes and becomes unresponsive until the email is copied into the sent email folder.

It thankfully doesn't freeze as long this time and is still usable, any help on correcting this?

I am using a Mac with Big Sur (macOS Monterey Version 12.7.6), and my email is POP, using Thunderbird Version 128.4.2esr. My incoming messages are sorted in reverse order so that the latest message is listed first. I retrieve the message headers first then I either delete the message or download the contents of the message. The problem is that when I click on the download instructions Thunderbird does download the message OK, '''BUT it highlights the message just downloaded and it jumps to the next message. '''This is very annoying because in order to read the contents of the message I have to go back one message and purposely select the message just downloaded. It did not do this previously. Please correct or tell me the corrective action I should take.
