IMAP push not working, repeatedly

Home account

No matter what I do, Thunderbird refuses to push my imap email. I keep missing several important emails. Outlook, Spark both work fine but I hate the ads. Please help me figure out what's wrong. This makes the client unusable.

What do you mean by push? imap isn't giving you your mail? You mean you are going to the website and seeing the mail there?

Yes that's what I mean. I can see it on any other client and when I manually refresh my Thunderbird app on Android.

You are in the Thunderbird Desktop forum, which is why this post is a little confusing. I will move it to android.
