Hello,
I am experiencing the exact same issue on Android under the same circumstances.
I have:
- Not yet attempted to log out or log back in
- Re-enabled android service apps that I had disabled.
On Pixel 8 Pro with Android 15
Hello,
in the meanwhile I found the related settings. As I'm from Germany I found it under:
Einstellungen / Account auswählen / Kontoeinstellungen / E-mails abrufen / Beim Löschen von Nachrichten / Auch auf Server löschen
In English I hope it will be like following: Settings / Select account (do it for each account) / Account settings / Retrieve emails / When deleting messages / Also delete on server
Thank you! "Also delete on server" was the correct setting that fixed the issue.
Perhaps I am missing something about how people typically use Thunderbird, but this does not seems like a "sane default" to me...
