Absolutely the best email app on Google Play. I switched from Samsung Mail to K9, but didn't like it much. Soon after, Thunderbird by Mozilla came out. Since I use Firefox and trust Mozilla, I gave it a try. For those of you looking for push notifications to sync your emails faster, follow these steps: 1. Tap the hamburger menu in the upper left corner. 2. Tap 'Manage Folders' in the lower left corner. 3. Tap 'Inbox' in the upper left corner. 4. You can set up push notifications in each menu.

UI is nice & clean, push notifications work like it's supposed to, but polling doesn't work at all. No matter what interval I set for the app to go out & get mail it won't do it unless I manually refresh the app. This really needs to be fixed because I don't need the app to constantly be checking for mail, just every 30 minutes or so. Having push on all the time is eating away at battery life.

Having just converted my desktop to Thunderbird to replace the awful 'new outlook', I installed the T-bird mobile app on my Android. Using the QR was seamless and a really great feature and I like the interface and range of options. Sadly, that's where my praise ends because it won't sync or push emails. Even when I can see an email on my desktop there's nothing on my phone, no notification on the screen or app icon. Even manually refreshing the inbox several times doesn't work = disappointing.

Edit: if you have issues with outlook, view Developer's comment below to enable imap in outlook. I had to use a mobile desktop to get Imap to save when enabling Had to force close and re-open several times to get the unified inbox to work. Almost uninstalled cause I thought it wasn't available. Also, can't get my outlook email to work. Maybe d up having to switch because of that. Please keep up the good work would love to give 5 stars!

I've been using TBird on my desktop for over a decade, and love it. But if the Android version supports Folders I can't figure out how to do it. I specifically wanted to store the emails confirming travel plans in a Folder so they're easy to find and won't drop off the end of the mail list before my trip starts. Please, devs, either add the ability to create folders or to import folders from my existing desktop (and use them).

Overall the app works fine. If you are using it on multiple email accounts, the lack of a unified trash folder is a deal breaker. You have to expand each account and open the trash folder to see if there is anything in it. The option to show an indicator on folders with something in them would be good ..not just on unread inbox folders.

Really on board for this app! I've had so many issues with so many apps but I think I might finally be able to settle. Only one bit of feedback I'd really liked implemented—RTF or html signatures! I want my signature to be the same as it is on my desktop, where I've gone to the trouble of making a nice html signature but no matter how hard I try (including importing settings from TB desktop, pasting from existing formatted text) this app de-formats my signature to pure text with no formatting.

Like many others, I have been using Thunderbird on my desktop for many years. More than 20. I tried this Android version (I previously tried its K-9 precursor) and I am quite disappointed. There is one missing feature that is an absolute deal-breaker for me: You cannot expand and/or collapse folders. Every one of my folders is displayed in one very long list. I will keep using something else until they implement this.

Have edited my review regarding push notifications. There is a roundabout way of doing it. It's very unclear when installing the app. Your team needs a better way to set up the app for new users. Whole point of email is to receive email and know it's there. When installing the app... No notifications are even active. The complete opposite of what a user wants. You shouldn't have to dig through menus to setup notifications.

editing my review from 5 to 4 star solely for the reason that it doesn't sync all of my emails. It doesn't retrieve any of my daily subscription emails, yet I get them on other clients. It's also a bit slow on the retrieval too. Not sure what's happening here, because I really do like the customization. It just needs more work to be fully functioning
