Hi everyone, I’ve been using Thunderbird on Android for emails, and I’ve noticed that notifications sometimes get delayed when I’m gaming on my phone. During longer gaming sessions, emails don’t show up right away and only appear after I exit the game or switch apps.

I’m guessing it might be related to background app restrictions or battery optimization, but I’m not completely sure. I’ve also noticed something similar while playing heavier or modded versions of Stick War: Legacy (https://stickwarmods.com/), where the game tends to keep the phone more “locked into performance mode,” and background apps (like email clients) seem to get deprioritized. In those cases, notifications also feel delayed until I minimize or close the game, which makes me think it’s more about Android’s background process management during sustained gaming sessions rather than the email app itself.

Has anyone else experienced delayed notifications with Thunderbird Android while gaming? Any tips on keeping notifications timely without affecting game performance would be really helpful.

Have you already allowed TB-A to run in the background and excluded it from android battery optimisation to rule them out as the possible cause? You should do this in any event to ensure timely notifications when the screen is off.

Some phone manufacturer's include a gaming mode app that allows users to control unwanted interruptions while playing supported games by disabling calls and some notifications. Samsung Game Booster and Oneplus Game Mode are two examples. Have at look at their settings if you have these or a similar app installed.
