The push email service notification

• Once the permission is granted (or right after enabling push on older Android versions), Thunderbird for Android will display a push email service notification entitled Waiting for new emails:

  

• Tapping on the Waiting for new emails notification will allow you to configure the notification itself (Configure notification) or to disable push email altogether (Disable Push):

  

You can change the display of this notification or hide it by tapping Configure notification.

Hide the push email service notification

Hiding the push email service notification does not turn off push email.

• Slide Show notifications to the left.

Change the push email service notification

Minimizing the notification will hide the bell icon from the Android status bar, but still keep the notification in the notification shade. You will still be able to see the status of your push email service (for example, Waiting for new emails or Sleeping until network is available).

Disable Push email from the push email service notification using “Disable Push”

Tap Disable Push to disable push email altogether.
