TB for Android Identities

Android 13 Tablet

I have TB for Android set up and working. This is a lw end tab for my needs away from home.

I have set up mail identities as well as signatures fo r3 accounts I am working with for personal, hobby, and business. So far it is working fine.

However, today I attempted to add a second identity to one of the Gmail accounts which TB on my Windows 11 system allows, but on the Android version it is not allowing a 2nd identity on any of the accounts.

Is this a bug or something reserved for the premium, version. There is no pop up or other indication telling me otherwise. The "Save" icon is just grayed out. I also scanned this forum and was not immediately able to get anything on this item.

Thanks

Did you enter a validely formatted email address when creating the new identity in the Android app. It's the only mandatory field. The save button remains greyed out until entered.

I had no issue adding a second example identity, as shown in the screen shot.

There was the problem. Thanks. Fixed.

It was not clear to me that I had to enter the e-mail address a second time for that. I thought it was acting similar to the Windows Desktop version.

Most appreciated.
