Primary Thunderbird password failed to import from Desktop to Android

Perkelb beantwortet

After downloading Thunderbird for Android onto my mobile, I imported email accounts and settings (all, including passwords) from the desktop´s Thunderbird to the phone´s Thunderbird by scanning the desktop´s QR codes.

I got all the accounts and messages onto the mobile but not the primary password. On the desktop I still have to log into Thunderbird but not so on the mobile. There is also no way to set a primary password in Thunderbird for Android since it only displays General Settings.

Thunderbird for Android does receive emails so it seems to know the passwords to the servers.

I have the newest versions of Windows 10 and Android.

Any help on how to import or set the primary password in Thunderbird for Android would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting, I don't think this is yet supported by the mobile version! The primary password is only to protect your desktop Thunderbird.

Thank you very much for your reply! I will wait and hope the feature will one day be added.
