My private secret email address is person@example.org I make lots of aliases, eg: foo-bar-baz.qux@example.org When we reply, check if any of the To addresses match: * Option 1: Matches *@example.org * Option 2: Per account regex eg:  /^foo-[^@]{,100}@example\.org$/ Then simply set my From address as the matched address. Benefits: * Avoid spam * Maintain privacy of your main email address * Avoid accidentally replying from your private email address * If your alias gets onto a spam list, delete the alias and make a new one * We don't need to add all of our aliases into our android email client * Set once, works for unlimited current and future aliases ...

Instant new mail notifications in Thunderbird Android are implemented using IMAP IDLE connections, which drain the phone battery and consequently require the user to opt-in by folder. This is a costly compromise, requiring user savvy, the opt-in UI, AND the battery drain from each IDLE connection. Instead, Thunderbird Android should preemptively implement the client-side portion of its own IMAP extension, like the iPhone Mail app does with XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE. This will stimulate demand for server-side implementations. Forwardemail.net, for example, went to the trouble of reverse-engineering the XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE client calls and implementing the server side in their IMAP servers, because it gives their mail services "native"-like performance on the iPhone. Gmail servers don't implement IMAP at all and Google has no incentive to encourage Android users to use any other email service. As the de facto standard FOSS Android mail client, Thunderbird Android should go ahead with its own extension, and plan to phase out the awkward use of IDLE. ... View more

I have recently migrated from BlueMail to Thunderbird for Android. Two usability features that were very helpful in BlueMail are currently missing in Thunderbird and would significantly improve productivity when working with multiple email accounts: 1. Unified inbox / combined view across accounts A single consolidated view showing all incoming mail from selected accounts (as if the messages were in one account). This is useful when the user actively works with several accounts during the day and needs a global “what is new” perspective without switching folders. 2. Fast account switching from the main screen In BlueMail, clicking on the account name opened a quick account list for immediate switching. In Thunderbird, the user must open the menu first and then select the account, which adds unnecessary steps and slows down navigation in multi-account workflows. Why this is useful reduces navigation friction for users with several accounts improves responsiveness in daily workflows behavior is consistent with other modern mobile email clients Environment Thunderbird for Android, version: … Number of accounts: … Protocol: IMAP / POP (mostly IMAP) Thank you for considering this enhancement. rokos966 ...

Instead of shoving so called AI tools in Firefox, I would love a feature that can detect AI content, whether in text or in media (audio, image, video). Right click a text selection, an image or a video and select "Is it AI?". A popup appears and gives an answer. You could also add this feature to Thunderbird. ... View more

I would appreciate it if TB Mobile could have a unified folder option for Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Spam and Trash. It would be very convenient to check only the unified folders instead of checking all the folders of each mail account I added to TB individually. Spark Mail has implemented this (also some other mail apps like BlueMail) and it works like a charm there. ... View more

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? ... View more

If you have several email accounts they are shown in a coloured "icon" with 2 letters which seem to be taken from the mail server name. For example if the server name is gmail.com the icon is shown as "GM". If you have 2 Gmail accounts they are both shown as "GM". The only customisation that you can do is to change the colour of the "icon". It would be nice to either select the two letters displayed or use an account image. Note that the 3 accounts "GM" are all gmail.com accounts but the only display difference I can set is the colour.  ... View more

Currently, no EAI email addresses (such as äöü@test.local) can be set up in Thunderbird, whether on a desktop or mobile device. Entering punycode is not a solution either, because EAI (SMTPUTF8) means native UTF-8, and there are no intermediate encodings such as punycode for IDN. So the request is to support the setup of EAI email addresses with SMTPUTF8 addresses (So non-ASCII characters BEFORE the @). (The email addresses in the images do not exist, but that doesn't matter because you can't even get to the settings where ports/mail servers etc. are entered).     ... View more

Hello, I'm using K-9 since years and don't plan on switching because it's the best mail client available for Android - thank you for developing this awesome client btw! I would love to see support for S/MIME as it's growing importance, especially in business communication. For example the company I work for requires using S/MIME for every mail containing personal data, which means that technically I have to use S/MIME already when I just mention anyones name in an email, which makes K-9 unusable for a lot of business communication right now. Kind regards ... View more

I would very much like to see a Print option in K-9 Mail/Thunderbird for Android, much like you get in the Outlook for mobile app. When clicked on, it will use the print dialog built into your phone so that you can send it to the printer or save the message as A PDF document. The Spark client has a Print and Save to PDF option. ... View more
