Reviews for Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox

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: […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

As someone who has been using desktop Thunderbird for roughly a decade, I was excited to try this out. But the janky push notification system is a deal breaker. I’ve set up both messages and folder push notifications and even disabled battery restrictions, but it seems to take too long for a push notification to […]

Update 6/8/25: I really wanted to like this but it’s TRASH. Set refresh to every 15 minutes but it can go HOURS WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION! So far so good. Nice UI, simple and clean. It would be nice if we could get the emails as soon as they arrive in the inbox. I have it […]

Recently switched from Gmail and I’m liking it so far! Sure, it doesn’t have Google’s special mail integration that seems to not require infrequent polling, but it works perfectly well for me. I like the option to have a unified inbox so I rarely ever have to switch accounts. I also really appreciate that Mozilla […]

I love the Mac version, but I just found out I’ve been “sending” for six weeks with this app, the messages go in the Sent folder, and nothing is getting outside my domain! I can’t access a log to see what is wrong. It’s not my ISP; my sister’s mail (iOS, but same domain) is […]

The format of the account list should be changed to show account name, not just a meaningless symbol. Need to be able to open an attachment from the top of the email or a menu. Some emails have large amounts of space, and it takes a long time to repeatedly swipe down to get to […]

i thought i liked this email client at first, but not so much now. I’ve been intermittently getting error messages saying that the message failed to send when I’m trying to email attachments. they sit in the outbox, and then i open it, and it says message deleted, or sometimes it just removes the attachment […]

Fantastic! Moved over once I found K9 became Mozilla’s. They didn’t yet rename it at that point & then split it off. Its been fantastic the entire time. Does all I need & works great for me. Obviously, using gmail app directly for gmail offers things it does not, but am not concerned about any […]

Used to love this app but it now loads my old emails first. I have thousands of emails going back to 2012 that I leave in the inbox (don’t ask!). Now there’s literally no way for me to see new ones because I’m only loading 100 emails at a time so I can’t see anything […]

Android native back button doesn’t exit the app. updating to 3 starts, pending update – developer responded promptly. Update for Devs: the back button seems to not work after going into junk, using it to back into the inbox, then trying to exit the app. it back out of junk, but not the app. Update […]

I am incredibly upset that I keep getting a permanent notification about missing permissions to schedule alarms. If I don’t want the app to do that, then I don’t want to give it permission. Given the open-source nature of the program, it is very frustrating that this happens. The desktop version is wonderful on Linux, […]
