impossible to import thunderbird on redmi note 13

eurobluecat

Hello, redminote 12 pro 5G (hyper OS 3.03.0) has permission to use the camera. but when I want to scan the QR code generated by Thunderbird on PC, nothing happens. However, I did manage to import my accounts on a Xiaomi tablet. An idea or an alternative for transferring the accounts? Thank you in advance for your help. PS: My PC is running Linux mint, does it make a difference?

There's two additional ways you can add your accounts to the Redminote 12.

1. Use Thunderbird Android's wizard to manually add an account. Enter your email address. You'll be guided on additional steps to follow.

2. Export your account configuration from your Xiaomi and import it into your Redminote 12.

a. In TB on your Xiaomi tablet, goto settings > export. Save the configuration to a file. b. Copy the configuration file to your Redminote 12 c. In TB on the Redminote 12, goto settings > import. Select the configuration file.

The option to import a configuration or add a new account are available from the first time setup page,
