Thunderbird 11.1 for Android import bug

The new version of Thunderbird 11.1 for Android does not import account settings properly, one can only see Outbox, nothing else. I have the latest beta and then tried to import my settings from the beta to 11.1, after importing all i have access to is my Outbox, morning else shows up, no inbox etc at all. Think it's an import bug

Hi, Just to understand, you are trying to import (via file download) the settings from beta 12.(which one) to 11.1. Is this a correct statement?

Hi, thanks, I exported my settings from 12.0b7 to a folder on my phone, then installed 11.1 and chose to import (select file), once imported all there is is the outbox, no other folders, no inbox, or sent etc at all.

Hi. After the import you need to go and add your credentials to your account and then refresh. I just did what you did and indeed the only folder I saw was the outbox. Then I realized the passwords are not set and after I added them and refreshed the view all was good!

Can you see if this is your case. In the file export there are no passwords stored.

Jonathan, did you resolve your problem??

Import now working again in latest version, thanks, but the bug where syncing just randomly stops is still there. Initially syncing with Gmail works and new emails show in Thunderbird almost immediately, but after a day or so new emails don't show, even though they are in Gmail. Weird cos for the first day or so all works perfectly. Battery is unrestricted, push is enabled etc.
