no export to mobile in my desktop app

I want to use the android app but can't import settings

The export to mobile only includes account settings, not other items like messages. It's assumed that only IMAP accounts are being imported by the mobile app, so that messages will be downloaded (synced) on first connection to the accounts. Unless you have dozens of accounts, you might as well just add the accounts manually on the mobile.

what version of thunderbird are you using?

I got it now, I had to update to the latest. However it's not working - no folders, no send/receive emails.
