Thunderbird for Android Community Forum

When I launch Thunderbird after downloading an update I get a message that says 'the installation seems to be incomplete. Check your hardware (what hardware?) and disk set up and/or reinstall. How do I check hardware and disk? If i reinstall will I lose my old messages?

I wish thunderbird/firefox would stop behaving as if everyone knows how to repair these things. I still haven't managed to stop thunderbird from asking for and often rejecting my email password, despite two kind people trying to sort it out.

Hi!

I installed the Thunderbird app via Play Store a while ago. I have the F-Droid app on my phone, too. I now got a notification from F-Droid offering me an update for Thunderbird. I'm far from a pro. I would have expected an app installed via Play store to only be connected to and updated via Play Store. Is this all safe and okay? There is no Thunderbird update available in Google Play.

Thank you for your help, please let me know if you need any phone specs or version numbers!

As stated, I can't update Thunderbird on Android from v11 to the newest v11.1. Apparently this is an App ID fingerprint issue. Has Mozilla changed the App ID from v11 to v11.1? Thanks in advance. Cheers

I know there are several ways to get updates... But: What is the expected delay with which a (Github-)"release" becomes visible in Google Play Store?

(I know about Google's approval procedures, "staged rollout", and so on... Just want to know an estimation of shortest and longest delay, before I can get an update via Google PlayStore...)
