Thunderbird Android App Doesn't Sync

I have the Android T-bird app on my Google Pixel 9.

I am having constant problems with it not syncing.

This morning, when I swiped down, the kept spinning but did not connect. When i tapped the sync icon at the bottom left of the screen, nothing!

Nothing changed after rebooting the phone, which BTW takes almost twice as long as the reboot on my previous Samsung phones.

I have now uninstalled and reinstalled, and imported my settings using the QR code on my desktop. It imported my accounts, but asked me to sign in or sign in later. There is no link for signing in immediately, and sign in later does not allow any sign in opportunity.

I now have no emails imported to the app.

Any help would be appreciated

Just to be clear, the import process from Thunderbird desktop only does mail account configuration, not the emails themselves. You have checked that the account configuration matches your mail provider's specs?

I solved the problem by uninstalling and re-installed the app and then added my Yahoo and Gmail accounts manually.

All good now
