mail lists for Thunderbird for Android
Hi,
I am trying to and failing to get my mail lists into Thunderbird for Android. I have tried lots of searches but can get nothing related to this.
I have imported by settings into Thunderbird for Android but the mail lists do not come across.
I have imported by email addresses into the Contacts app. This was the only way I could find to do this - Thunderbird for Android does not have the facility to import email addresses. Is that right? However, the mail lists do not get exported or imported.
I have manually recreated the email lists in the contacts app. However, if I use Thunderbird for Android and ask to use an address from the Contacts, these are still not showing.
Is there ANY way I can get my mail lists (which I use a lot!) into Thunderbird for Android.
Sorry if there is an obvious answer to this and I have missed and thanks in advance.
Yours,
Alan

Thunderbird for android only supports selecting email addresses from your contacts app. It doesn't have a built-in feature for storing and managing email address lists.
To pick a contact's email.
1. Grant Thunderbird permission to read your contacts. Long press the app's launcher icon > app info > permissions. 2. On the message compose window, tap the 3 dot menu > add from contacts.
Only contacts with an email address will be displayed.

@Platform34 - thanks for the full reply. Disappointing but now I will stop bashing my head against a wall trying to do something that isn't possible. And thanks for the links - I have voted and commented on the second one. Alan
