I was very excited to see that Thunderbird is finally available for Android! For me, it's almost flawless and works almost as good as the desktop version. One major feature that is missing, that I have with Bluemail is...image resize for attachments. It's almost archaic that this isn't available in TB... since every other mobile email app has it, otherwise I'd give 5 stars. I'd love to use this as my daily driver, but I just can't without the resize, as I depend on that feature.

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, but fairly limited on mobile for some reason. At least don't bug users for permissions they do not want to give the app. It isn't a feature I use.

We're sorry for any frustration with the permissions, and our system works this way as an additional layer of privacy protection on Android, bypassing many Google services. To avoid this, using polling which pulls email at a regular interval would probably the best option. We hope this helps explain our development choices!

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 after sending. since this is for work, i can't afford the time to troubleshoot why this keeps happening, so I'm moving on.

Thanks for your feedback, and we're sorry for the frustrations with messages being stuck in the outbox (a possible solution is in 11.0) and with attachments disappearing. While we'd love to help troubleshoot at Settings > Get Help, we hope you try us again as we improve!
