Fórum da Comunidade de Thunderbird for Android

As an enthusiastic Thunderbird user, I recently installed Thunderbird for Android and set it up using a QR code. Fantastic!

I always sign my outgoing emails with an OpenPGP certificate. I have integrated this on my smartphone using OpenKeychain. The question now is: how do I sign the outgoing emails?

The key is set up correctly with OpenKeyChain, the menu item ‘Activate encryption’ (German: ‘Verschlüsselung aktivieren’) is displayed, but not the menu item ‘Activate PGP-only signing’ (German: PGP-nur-Signieren aktivieren).

Hallo liebes Thunderbird-Team,

besteht die Möglichkeit, Ordner direkt in Thunderbird-Mobile anzulegen oder geht dies nur über den PC mit anschließender Synchronisation?

Vielen herzlichen Dank LG Jürgen

Hello, I have authorised notifications in the Thunderbird application for Android, but I don't receive any when I receive emails. For your information, in Account Settings > Notifications, I checked the first box "Notifications of new emails" and the fifth box "Synchronisation notifications". What's more, in the "Notification categories" section (further down), in the screen that opens before "Emails", the "Alert" and "Application icon badges" boxes are ticked, and there's a sound associated with the "Sound" heading. With all this, I don't get any notification of incoming emails. Thank you for your help, Kind regards, Renaud *Email removed to protect privacy*

In attempting to compose an email, TB does not recognize any contacts when I start typing the first few letters of their email address nor when I try typing their name as it appears in phone contacts. First installed TB on this new phone just a couple days ago, and my recollection is it was working fine. But then I went ahead with the Android 14 update, and after that is when TB seemingly forgot all contacts/email addresses. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling TB, but that made no difference.

When will composing/writing, sending and receiving HTML emails be available, possible in Thunderbird for Android? I know this HTML functionality is not available in K-9 email on Android, but it is available in Thunderbird, Thunderbird Desktop on all other platforms like Windows, Linux and MacOS except Android.

Hi. I use Thunderbird for Android and I am not.able to send email abroad. When I use email with CZ there is no problem, hit with other EU/COM/PL....all emails return. Settings are correct, I checked woth my IT...I do not know what to do. Kind regarts Barbara

Hi.

I have installed and set up the new app via the playstore. Installed on a Pixel 8a. I have noticed the following points. Please give me some feedback on where and how I have to change the settings or whether these points can be changed at all.

1. I have three mailboxes in the app. If you swipe to the right, you can see the overview of the mail accounts with a corresponding abbreviation of 2 letters. All three accounts are named “WE”. It is possible to change that ?

2. I have set the frequency of mail retrieval to 15min. Can I set it somewhere so that I immediately receive a notification when mail arrives (background sync allways) ?

3. The retrieval of mails and their notifications do not work reliably. I only see new mails or pushups when I switch from mobile network to wifi (or vice versa) or when I manually trigger the update in the app. How can this be optimized?

Thx.

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.
