Aftershave export of thunderbirrd from desktop to Android Phone I get accessoires to inbox or otter maps

HI I have the latest Thunderbird installed on my Redmi Note 8 Pro (Android 11). When I try to write an email and add an attachment (e.g., a photo), the system file manager opens. After selecting the file, it doesn't appear in Thunderbird. Sharing a file from the file manager via Thunderbird results in the same issue. Only when sharing a file through the system Gallery app to Thunderbird can I attach and send it successfully. In the permissions settings for Thunderbird, I only see options for Camera and Contacts. There is no option for Files and Media. I couldn't find a solution to this problem anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Every time I open a message I'm presented with the 'Show remote images' button which I have to click on to see the images in the email. I understand this is a security issue, but like the desktop version, I thought there might be an option to 'allow remote content' from the origin that would be remembered for all future correspondence. Is there a way to eliminate the need to always click on 'Show remote images'?

I donated and installed thunderbird on my laptop last week. I have donated twice more in the last few days to install thunderbird on my android phone in the last few days unsuccessfully. I do not know what I am doing wrong. Can you help me?

I've installed Thunderbird on my Pixel 9 Pro. I used my Linux Fedora Thunderbird to generate a QR code to get my Android Thunderbird established. Android Thunderbird is working ok but my contacts from the Linux Thunderbird did not come over and writing emails from there is difficult without my contacts. How do I port over the Linux Fedora Thunderbird contacts to my Android Thunderbird?

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?

I don't know if I just have something configured wrong or if this is a bug.

In case it is relevant, I originally came from the K-9 app and imported my settings to the new Thunderbird app. K-9 is now uninstalled.

I have more than one account, and each inbox is set to show in Unified Inbox.

When I get any new email for any account, I actually get 2 of the exact same notification for each email. There isn't actually 2 emails with the same sender and subject line, when tapping on either of the notifications the app opens and there is just the one email.

I thought maybe Unified Inbox had its own notification setting which might explain why I was getting notified twice, but if there is I cannot find it.

I could always try removing all the accounts and re-adding them, but since I have quite a few I would like to avoid that if I can (and why I chose importing from K-9 rather than manually adding and configuring each one).

Thanks for any assistance.

What I delete an email message on my phone, it disappears in my app. But when I check on my computer and in my old email app, the deleted message is still there.

I've checked in multiple email accounts and multiple messages.

Thanks Jim King

Just added Thunderbird for Android and imported my email addresses.

I am not seeing any messages in the unified inbox and only see that folder and the outbox folder. I have 4 different gmail accounts and 1 yahoo account where I have no issues on the desktop side. Android is 14, running on unlocked Motorola Edge+ 2023 and T-Mobile network.

Please let me know if there is anything additional I can supply to resolve this.

Thank you !!!!!!

Hi,, I've just installed the Android version and imported my accounts and can receive messages, but can't send them. The outgoing server settings look OK Any ideas?

One Gmail account imported all of the settings, including the Inbox. The other Gmail account recieves this:

Please sign in We'll redirect you to your email provider to sign in. You need to grant the app access to your email account.

Sign in with Google

Then the following error, as it won't open to Google to confirm (it did with the other account)

Please sign in Oauth sign in failed OAuth 2.0 is currently not supported with this provider Retry

I'm just wondering if it's possible to get a fetch option that happens more frequently than fifteen minutes. On accounts I'm logged into on multiple devices I'll get the email on my iphone app and then I'm waiting for it to pop up in thunderbird on mobile.
