Beta: after QR import, Google accounts show "restore apps" screen, blank accounts.google.com page, and an email address prompt
Device: Google Pixel 10 XL, Android 17 App: Thunderbird Beta for Android 24.0b2 Desktop: Thunderbird 157.0.1 (64-bit, release channel)
I imported my eight accounts from Thunderbird Desktop using Tools > Export for Mobile and scanned the QR codes in the beta app. The scan worked and the accounts imported, but setup had several confusing steps:
1. For each Google account, an Android screen appeared saying "select which apps to restore", as if I were setting up a new phone. I didn't know what to select, so I skipped it each time. 2. After skipping, a blank accounts.google.com page appeared. I never saw a normal Google permission screen. 3. After the last account, the app showed a screen asking me to enter an email address and would not let me continue. When I pressed back and reopened the app, all accounts were there and receiving mail, so it seems to be a leftover add-account prompt after a successful import.
For comparison, with the stable app, the same accounts imported into K-9 Mail with the same kind of QR code with no restore-apps screen, no blank page, and no extra prompt. Gmail accounts signed in normally.
The accounts work, so this is about confusing setup steps rather than lost data.
Expected: Google accounts sign in through the normal permission flow without the Android restore-apps screen, and the app goes to the inbox after import without asking for another account.
