Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

Two questions, specific to mobile version (no problem with Linux laptop version)

• how to create a folder and subfolder on an imap account ?
• how to mask subfolders (created by other mean) by default ? But to display only in parent vient.

Hi Community!

I have 4 mail accounts in my Thunderbird for Android ... and a unified inbox that displays mails from all these accounts. Furthermore, I don't want mails to sync automatically, but only if I do this actively i.e. pull down the inbox to get new mails. This works fine in each of the accounts ... but it does not work for me in the unified inbox. So if I want to fetch new mails I have to go into each of the single accounts and pull down the inbox so mails are fetched there. After that, they'll get displayed in the unified inbox, too. But if I pull down the unified inbox, nothing happens.

My desired behaviour would be that I just go to the unified inbox, pull down there and all inboxes fetch mails. How can I achieve this?

Best, Christian

As I've said, I'm at least planning on moving from BlueMail to Thunderbird (which I've been using on my PC for ages). But in the couple of days I've been experimenting with it, I've now found a second problem. It seems that when I download something from the server, it's no longer available for download elsewhere. BlueMail deletes from server when you delete your trash. PC is set to delete on download. Can't find a way to set this on Android version.

Longtime K-9 user. Learned today my outgoing mail send from Spectrum RoadRunner e-mail account wasn't being sent. Switched on my Android to your app and same issue exists. Setting up an oh.rr.com account says your found (like K-9) an untrusted configuration. Yet when i try to use the one Spectrum wants, i get this message "unable to parse TLS packet header” when trying to send. Here are the settings they want used: SSL - on for SMTP & IMAP Protocol - IMAP Incoming and outgoing Server - mail.twc.com Incoming Server Port - 993 Outgoing Server Port - 587 Requires Authentication - Yes, or checked.

I'm gradually moving from BlueMail to Thunderbird. BM lets me create new folders (I use "hold" and "action") to which I move things I've read and want to keep until downloaded to Thunderbird on my PC. Other stuff goes to trash and (along with spam) gets deleted. This program's documentation SAYS you can create "new subfolders" but I can't find out how. "Manage folders" doesn't seem to help.

Hi dear Thunderbird-team,

I like to use Thunderbird with my new smartphone and I do not know how to install it that it is updating my emails from desktop. Which download shall I prefer and how does is go?

Warm regards, Markus Donat

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?

Hallo,

kann ich meinen Mailkonten auch Icons zuordnen? Das wurde nach der Designumstellung rausgenommen. Nun ist es problematisch mehrere Mailkonten zuzuordnen.

Schade, dass das alte zwischenzeitlich schöne und moderne Design von K9 in eine unübersichtliche Outlook-Kopie umgewandelt wurde. Weiß jemand warum das sein musste?

Hallo, Unterordner werden leider nicht mehr automatisch synchronisiert. Bei K9 hat es funktioniert. Wurde es tatsächlich abgeschaltet oder kann ich es konfigurieren?

Hallo, in der Desktop Version funktioniert das verschieben von Mails in Ordner eines anderen Mailkonto ganz wunderbar. Wenn man auf Verschieben geht werden alle Ordner aller installierten Mailkonten angezeigt und ich kann die Mail in den notwendigen Ordner verschieben.

In Thunderbird für Android kann ich nur innerhalb des einen Mailkonto verschieben, was die Arbeit doch schon einschränkt.

Ihr hattet verkündet, das Thunderbird für Android die gleichen Funktionen erhalten soll wie die Desktop Version.

Gibt es eine Aussicht auf diese Funktion bei Android?

I am at a loss and tried looking for solutions but, my issue with sending email through Thunderbird Android.

I have three accounts, gmail and 2 personal. One of my personal email accounts (IMAP); email gets sent, copied onto server's sent folder and everything is normal... EXCEPT the recipient doesn't get the email.

I use this account on Thunderbird Desktop and its fine... I see the sent email from android on the desktop but the email sent doesn't hit the final inbox.

Anyone have an idea?

I've changed settings (signature, type format, etc.), I've removed the account and added again. I've waited days to see if email gets delivered and it doesn't.

It's weird because Thunderbird desktop has no issues.
