Forum zhromadźenstwa Thunderbird for Android

Hi Firstly, thanks so much to everyone for this much anticipated Thunderbird for Android. I've been using Thunderbird for years and am very excited! But I don't (as yet) know what I'm doing! I have set up T f A via QR codes and now have a list of all my accounts on my phone, They are in little circles on the left of my phone and then on the rest of screen it says Unifed inbox and then Outbox (which is highlighted in blue). (Image attached) Currently in my unified inbox there are 39 emails. So 2 questions: how do I get all the (many) other emails I have in my desktop app to come into my mobile app? And how do I only see one inbox instead of the unified inbox? - when I click on the name of an inbox at the top of the screen it just moves on to the name of the next inbox. Thanks Lynne

I just set up Thunderbird on my android phone and imported three accounts. The first thing I noticed is that my folders are not nested as they are on my desktop app.

• Bulleted list item How do I nest the folders?
• Bulleted list item Does folder nesting work for the android app?

Thank you Tim

I followed the instructions for importing settings from my laptop. After scanning the QR code from my laptop it reported settings had been imported. However the only available folder on the app is Outbox. I would like Inbox available.

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.

My laptop is broken with no access to Thunderbird. I have a new tablet with a new Thunderbird. The laptop version sorted my emails into local folders which could auto delete according to local rules. This function doesn't seem to be in the Android version? My IMAP account at ionos also doesn't have such a function. What can I do to replicate this?

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?

Hi, using thunderbird for Windows, i've add thunderbird for Android on my phone. To avoir manipulations i'd used the QR codes to install accounts.

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?
