filtering with Android Thunderbird

[Cherilm93]

I love my PC Thunderbird. Filtering saves me so much time and when a new vendor reaches me, I just create a new rule. It is so simple and effective. But I have not seen the Thunderbird for Android. I have tried K-9 mail and a couple others, but no filtering option exists and spam does not allow you to unenroll, they just give your address to 10 more people and your life gets worse. So filtering allows you to redirect it out of your face. So email on my Android is still not useable because all the spam fills up my phone and chokes it.

When will we be getting the Android version? Or is one out and I just don't know what it is called?

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Yes! It could be useful! I'm using several filters in thunderbird, but when I see messages in k9 I see all when are not filtered in thunderbird yet.

The Thunderbird PC Auto E-Mail Spam Blocker works very well on the desktop version. It should be a "must have" on the Android version.

This is a must have definitely. I think it is the most useful feature of thunderbird overall.

+1 filters in mobile thunderbird, thanks

Why hasn't the filter feature been added to Thunderbird mobile? I'm so disappointed—I installed it specifically for that, because otherwise I have to keep my computer on all day to run filters.

I just am astonished to see that this feature - filtering in TB mobile - does not yet exist!
Like all the others I use filtering since the beginning of email and living without it is not an option. For now TB has to go.
But, please, add this feature to TB mobile! You'd win one more happy user 🙂

I just loaded TB on my Android tablet, and having used the desktop version in the oast, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the way of filtering and pluginsl

Great idea! It would be really handy (I don't know if it's already been suggested in another thread or planned in the roadmap), to be able to recreate automatic message filters like those on Desktop. Even if I understand that this wasn't a priority for the launch of the first version, it's the reason why I could definitely switch to Thunderbird for Android. At the moment, when I receive an email from X and I want it to go into the ‘Mail from X’ folder, all I can do is go to the PC and open the Thunderbird client to do it.
