my password. I did it and now I have to update my various programs and apps to the new password to access my emails, but the Thunderbird mail program that runs on my smartphone (Redmi Note 13) doesn't allow me to change my password. It almost seems like I have to delete the account and add it again from scratch. Is it absolutely necessary or is there an alternative system?

Pixel 8a, 256GB/120GB free, Android 16, Thunderbird v16.1 Thunderbird stopped sending and receiving emails after several months. My storage is not full. I also deleted messages to be sure. I checked my android settings as indictated in the troubleshooting guides and have been unable to resolve problem. I have it set to automatically download emails. Manually checking emails by using the "refresh" button does not work either.

With my Pixel 9a Android 16, I installed TB Android mobile by the export/QR code method. The settings were imported into the phone from my desktop, Win 11 TB version 147.0.1 and yahoo.com for my email service. I went through setup successfully, however, when I tried to sign in I receive an error: Oauth sign in failed. Oauth is currently not supported with this provider. Retry does not solve the problem. On my phone the settings are: Server is: pop.mail.yahoo.com Security SSL/TLS Port 995 Oauth 2.0 my user name @yahoo.ca These are the server settings on my desktop as well. Next step in the setup is to "Sign In". I immediately get the "Oauth not supported with this provider" error. I tried IMAP, same error. Under Oauth 2.0 there a pull down menu with: Normal password, Encrypted password or Client certificate. I'm not sure what these options are or if I can use them, ie with my Yahoo mail id and pwd. I tried IMAP server and got the same error. I'm hoping that someone can advise me as to how I get past this Oauth 2.0 error and finish installing Thunderbird for Android. Thank you

Hi,

I host a autodiscover config (config-v1.1.xml) on my local mailserver, when I want to add my local mail account to thunderbird it sees the configuration, but throws an error:

Configuration found This configuration is not trusted.

I host a local CA, and have imported the CA root certificate into the android certificate store. But I don't think this is the problem, because Thunderbird doesn't connect to my imap server prior to throwing the error. (this is working, I can browse the local link without any certificate warning)

This is my config-v1.1.xml:

<clientConfig version="1.1">

 <emailProvider id="home.arpa">
   <domain>home.arpa</domain>

   <displayName>Local email server</displayName>
   <displayShortName>local-server</displayShortName>

   <incomingServer type="imap">
     <hostname>mail.home.arpa</hostname>
     <port>993</port>
     <socketType>SSL</socketType>
     <authentication>password-cleartext</authentication>
     <username>%EMAILADDRESS%</username>
   </incomingServer>

   <outgoingServer type="smtp">
     <hostname>mail.home.arpa</hostname>
     <port>465</port>
     <socketType>SSL</socketType>
     <authentication>password-cleartext</authentication>
     <username>%EMAILADDRESS%</username>
   </outgoingServer>
 </emailProvider>

</clientConfig>

I've tried changing "authentication" to other methods, but this doesn't seem to matter.

Any Idea?

I currently have Thunderbird installed on both my android and desktop (W11). My android inbox does not mirror my desktop. For example, desktop inbox shows many more emails than the android inbox. The ones that are in both are the same. Why doesn't the android inbox mirror the desktop version?

Additionally, I used receive a ton of junk mail when using Edison mail. Now I receive very little. Sounds like a good thing but occasionally one gets flagged as span and it isn't. They continue to show up in the Edison mail spam folder but not in Thunderbird.

I was hoping to drop Edison mail and use Thunderbird exclusively, but I need the confidence before doing so.
