I am a senior who has no desire to be in clouds, social media, etc. I have been using Thunderbird email on my laptop for about a year and a half now. Thank you for allowing me to keep my pop3 account, I have been very happy. I just want to have email on my phone because I like to get notice of email but I like to delete it and collect it on my laptop because it remains on the server. I periodically access the laptop and do all banking, etc. from there. Completely old school with local storage. Everything I have looked up said that I could still keep my pop3 account on my phone. I have a new Samsung A57 that I am trying to set up. The old phone had Outlook but it is locked out so I have to start from scratch. I thought I would rather do that with you than the others that seem to be taking all of our personal data over and leaving us no choice in how we would like to work. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi @Wilsonians

Can you provide details about the issue your experiencing? Please share any error information displayed by the app.

  • Are you unable to add the account?
  • Is the issue with a specific feature or function your trying to configure?
  • Who is your email provider?

Note that Thunderbird for Android does not support using oAuth authentication with pop3 accounts. You should create an app password via your providers webmail if this situation is applicable to you.
