Sync issues between apple iPhone mail app and thunderbird on computer
A few months ago
If I deleted an email or moved it to another folder - on my apple app for any of the accounts that I also have on thunderbird
The changes would sync seamlessly - a few seconds after I deleted or moved an email on my apple iPhone mail app - on my laptop - thunderbird would show the same changes.
The same worked the other way if I deleted or moved an email on thunderbird on my laptop - my iPhone would show the changes in seconds.
However now if I do the same on my iPhone The changes do not show up at all.
BUT if I do the changes on my laptop - they will show on my iPhone. It just doesn’t work if I do the changes on my iPhone.
Is there a reason for this?

It appears that somehow one of the devices changed from IMAP to POP. Should be easy to check each.

Hi david -- i have checked in thunderbird account settings --- server settings and the account is IMAP. Likewise on my apple phone if i go to the mail feature in settings ---click on the account --- under incoming settings it also says IMAP with the same server port.
Thunderbird setting for security is OAuth2.
is there anyway of fixing the bug.
I doubt there is a bug, as thousands use iphone and thunderbird for accounts and are not experiencing your issue. Somewhere there is a setting, possibly even in Gmail, causing this. It may be that the setting on deleting or moving to trash is causing the mismatch that you see.
thanks david --- what would you recommend to check and I can have a look into that.
a few months ago it was completely fine. not sure why it started to happen.
