Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

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.

The topic could be settings either if I have not used a setting that I should have. If I delete an email on my PC it does not delete on my phone. However If I delete an email on my phone it also deletes from my PC. I really need this the other way round because I am more likely to tidy up my phone and deal with emails later on my PC. I am only at the beginning of learning to use the features of Thunderbird so any basic help that you can offer would be much appreciated. I set up a filter for a newsletter that comes very often so that I can delete it in blocks when it becomes out of date. I set up a new folder for it in my inbox. This is working well and the new folder and contents appear on my phone and Kindle. However my plan was to be able to read and delete emails from this folder on my PC with the expectation that they would then be deleted from my phone and Kindle. However they are still there. I am sure that there must be a box somewhere that I have failed to tick or untick and so if you could point me in the right direction then I should be most grateful. Thank you Patricia

The new Android version of Thunderbird can't properly send emails to a Gmail address. The emails are blocked by mailchannel.com as having spam content. My host (a2hosting.com) indicates it is a problem with how the email is constructed. This is not a problem for the desktop edition.

I wonder how I can change my password on my thunderbird mobile, I cannot find anything. So I exported my settings from the desktop, but on the mobile the password is still not changed. Thnx for help
