Successful OAuth2 login doesn't auto-return to Thunderbird Android; app remains logged in as if in browser

Hello everyone,

Summary: I am trying to set up my gmail account on my new phone, but after (what appears to be) successfully logging in, the Thunderbird for Android application does not pull me back out of gmail. Instead, I remain logged in to my gmail account as if in a browser. As you can see from my photos, it takes me to the point where I am truly into my gmail inbox, but I am checking it as if in some sort of outdated browser and not as if in Thunderbird. I am stuck; sitting in my gmail account, logged in; able to view email, check and change account settings, even get onto other parts of my google account. Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to get back out of my gmail account that returns me to the Thunderbird for Android accounts setup process with a successfully login to gmail. I end up having to hit exit or to close the app, which causes the account setup to fail.

Expected Behavior: Open the Thunderbird for Android App. Setup new account (gmail which produces an automatically detected OAuth 2.0 method). Give login credentials, gain access to gmail, and then be auto-redirected back to accounts setup process in Thunderbird for Android with full IMAP + SMTP access to my gmail.

Problematic Behavior: Same as above, except I am stuck as if in browser mode. When I exit and thus am returned back to the accounts setup page, I receive a failed notice (see photo). Immediately afterward, I tried to setup an account for the same gmail address on an old android phone and successfully logged in as expected. How do I get back to the main accounts dialog with a success?

Notes: The new phone is a linux-based phone (Furilabs FLX1s) on which I have found Android apps to function without hiccup. It seems like In fact, the Thunderbird for Android app itself seems to function fine. It doesn't crash. It allows me to navigate through the app menus flawlessly.


Thanks for the help!

Please Please Please advise how to modify settings to stop copying emails to "All Mail" folder. There are nearly 14K emails in that folder, and it's killing my capacity, I'm getting warnings, etc. Yes, I'm using Gmail.

Yes, I have unsubcribed from it, starting from my account name → Subscribe → unchecked [Gmail] All Mail. To no avail...

Of course, I do not want to delete mails I have saved in my hundreds of other folders. My mail goes back 25+ years, and I want to keep those archives.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Bug in Thunderbird account creation

Hello, I created a first account for Mailo email (no problem).

I created a second account for Orange email, but when I get to the contact and calendar search stage, it just keeps spinning (see attached Orange 1). Clicking "ignore" opens a window (see Orange 2). If I click "continue," the account is created and seems to work, but...? Indeed, both Mailo and Orange use IMAP port 993. For the past few days, I've been trying to get this account set up properly, but I haven't found anything specific online.

I've repeated the process several times, even uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird, but nothing has changed. I'm starting to get confused. I even think I deleted both accounts and started the setup process with the Orange one, but it's doing the same thing even though there's no other account. I should mention that the POP/IMAP option is enabled in Orange email.

Thunderbird for Android: Microsoft365 Outgoing SMTP auto-filled settings are incorrect and there does not appear to be a way to change them. The "edit configuration" only has a Incoming IMAP configuration screen, not an Outgoing setting screen.

The setting should be SMTP.Office365.com but it configures it as SMTP-mail.outlook.com. It allows editing of Incoming Settings but there is no screen for Outgoing server changes?

It works fine in Thunderbird for Windows with the correct settings stated above.
