Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

I downloaded and installed Thunderbird for Android on my mobile (OnePlus Open) and imported my settings from my Thunderbird desktop. All four of my accounts showed up in the mobile app. During this process, the "Log In" button was grayed out. However, all I'm seeing is "Unified Inbox" and "Outbox" folders, and no email. What login or installation step am I missing?

Good day, In Thunderbird 8 for Android, emails can only be deleted after the second deletion attempt. The first deletion attempt is not carried out. Messages can only be moved or deleted individually. Kind regards, Jens Ruckelshäuser-Heine

I started a new email to which I wanted to insert a screenshot png file. When I 'pasted' the screenshot into the body of the email, it opened a new new email, (deleted the original draft text) and attached the screenshot. Not the result I was looking for. Is it not possible to embed an image into the body of an email?

I am composing in HTML - here is my setting attached

Hello, Thanks for the answer to my previous question, but I read "Import settings and data into Thunderbird for Android" - "How To Import from Thunderbird Desktop". Unfortunately I can't "Scan the QR code from Thunderbird Desktop", nothing happens when I "Align the QR code provided from Thunderbird Desktop". I wish you a good day.

I presently use TB on my Windows laptop and recently installed TB for Android on my Moto phone. Until now I have used Gmail but I want to use TB instead. I have a working Microsoft email account (waterways.org.uk) on TB. Now I want to create accounts for a talktalk.net and a live.co.uk email address. When I first open the TB app, it asks me for an email address so this suggests to me that the servers haven't been set up yet. Is there an easy way to do this?

I want to export my calender from my computer to my mobile

and it will work at computer and mobile at same time

If i write something at my computer the mobile shall also show it

This work for Outlook an i want the same at thunderbird

In Thunderbird for Android, when I set up first account, I was asked if I wanted headers only, or full email, and I picked full email. When I set up a second account, I was not given that option, it defaulted to full, and I have not found a way to change that. Can I set that per account, or are all forced to be the same as initial selection?

I want to keep using the original mail app on my phone for primary email account activity, and use Thunderbird on my tablet for multiple lesser-used accounts. But when using tablet would like to be able to monitor the primary account, and possibly use its address as the sender when forwarding an email from a different account (I do this on desktop version now). Is this possible? Or too much mixing and matching? Thanks

Hi,

I changed my Google account password, but now find I get the below error screen when I try to reauthenticate the thunderbird android app to use it to handle my Gmail account.

I cannot figure out how to mark Email as spam. I thought I could set swipe action as spam is a choice. However, the left swipe function does not seem to work except for delete. And right swipe does not work at all.

This is NOT a question, it IS a solution to a problem with Thunderbird mobile. Please read below. (I did not report it as a bug because I'm not sure whether or not the setting is intentional, but it is causing problems.)

My web host recently migrated their email servers to #MailChannels. As a result, I suddenly found myself unable to send email outside my domains from Thunderbird #mobile. (However, I could still send to and receive from my own domains, and receive from senders outside my domains -- and Thunderbird desktop was unaffected and working just fine.)

After multiple emails were exchanged with web host support, an answer was finally found: in the Thunderbird mobile app, go to General Settings > Privacy and enable the Hide email client option. Doing this removes an incomplete #User-Agent entry from the headers and allows email from Thunderbird mobile to be successfully processed by MailChannels.

The web host support technician who relayed this solution to me earlier today also said he had encountered this issue several times today. In my opinion, Mozilla should consider a) removing the incomplete User-Agent entry from the headers; b) enabling the Hide email client option by default; or b) making current and future users of the Thunderbird mobile app of the potential problem and solution so they can determine for themselves the appropriate action.

However, it is up to Mozilla to determine the correct course of action, if any. I hope this helps them become aware of the issue so they can make that determination.

Since past few weeks I have been observing that read/unread status of my emails are not correctly being synced.

I'm almost always finding that emails in my gmail account that I have already read on mobile appear unread when I open gmail on my pc browser. Same goes vice versa. Entire same thing also happens for my outlook account.

Any solutions?

Is there a way to get the attachments at the top of the message?

Since they are at the bottom by default, a lot of scrolling is required in case of a long message thread.

Having the attachments on the top after the subject line will solve this for me.

Hello, I dont know why but one of my email accounts set to constantly push didn't work last night and I missed a couple of important ones and I can't have that happen again. What can I do to troubleshoot this, because I can't use a client that can have a malfunction in something as basic like this. Also, it's not the first time. So it's random and sporadic that one of my addresses can't have email pushed when sent.
