Thunderbird Android App Doesn't Sync

I have the Android T-bird app on my Google Pixel 9.

I am having constant problems with it not syncing.

This morning, when I swiped down, the kept spinning but did not connect. When i tapped the sync icon at the bottom left of the screen, nothing!

Nothing changed after rebooting the phone, which BTW takes almost twice as long as the reboot on my previous Samsung phones.

I have now uninstalled and reinstalled, and imported my settings using the QR code on my desktop. It imported my accounts, but asked me to sign in or sign in later. There is no link for signing in immediately, and sign in later does not allow any sign in opportunity.

I now have no emails imported to the app.

Any help would be appreciated

Just to be clear, the import process from Thunderbird desktop only does mail account configuration, not the emails themselves. You have checked that the account configuration matches your mail provider's specs?

I solved the problem by uninstalling and re-installed the app and then added my Yahoo and Gmail accounts manually.

All good now

I had this problem. Partially installed all my accounts using the QR codes from desktop saying i would enter the passwords later but then couldn't find where to enter the passwords! (I did find it for one account but then couldnt find it again to do the rest). I reinstalled using the QR code from my desktop Thunderbird. (Have lots of accounts so had to do more than one QR code). After each code was 'done' there was a list of accounts and the option of enter passwords or later but the enter passwords was greyed out. I found out that selecting each account in the list allowed me to enter the password for that account (didn't have to for every account...google seemed to be easier than ms hotmail/outlook), it also directed me to a link to allow Thunderbird to access that account. I had to do this for each account after each QR code but now I have full access to every account... Couldn't find info about this in the help section etc - might be something the developers could make clearer...still now loving this as much as my Thunderbird desktop - makes managing multiple email accounts much easier
