Hi - it was super-easy to export my settings from Windows and import them into Thunderbird Android. The app is much faster than the Gmail app, I do like it. However, I've got a couple of issues:

- deleting a read email (from my inbox) permanently deletes it, it doesn't go to trash. - It appears that there is no address book for this application. Moreover, I can't find a way to have it look at my Google contacts - so I have to lookup and copy/paste my email recipients. I'm sure I am overlooking something. Other posts suggested something from the ... menu when composing, but I don't see an option to select from (Google) contacts.

Thanks for any assistance!
