Successful OAuth2 login doesn't auto-return to Thunderbird Android; app remains logged in as if in browser

Hello everyone,

Summary: I am trying to set up my gmail account on my new phone, but after (what appears to be) successfully logging in, the Thunderbird for Android application does not pull me back out of gmail. Instead, I remain logged in to my gmail account as if in a browser. As you can see from my photos, it takes me to the point where I am truly into my gmail inbox, but I am checking it as if in some sort of outdated browser and not as if in Thunderbird. I am stuck; sitting in my gmail account, logged in; able to view email, check and change account settings, even get onto other parts of my google account. Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to get back out of my gmail account that returns me to the Thunderbird for Android accounts setup process with a successfully login to gmail. I end up having to hit exit or to close the app, which causes the account setup to fail.

Expected Behavior: Open the Thunderbird for Android App. Setup new account (gmail which produces an automatically detected OAuth 2.0 method). Give login credentials, gain access to gmail, and then be auto-redirected back to accounts setup process in Thunderbird for Android with full IMAP + SMTP access to my gmail.

Problematic Behavior: Same as above, except I am stuck as if in browser mode. When I exit and thus am returned back to the accounts setup page, I receive a failed notice (see photo). Immediately afterward, I tried to setup an account for the same gmail address on an old android phone and successfully logged in as expected. How do I get back to the main accounts dialog with a success?

Notes: The new phone is a linux-based phone (Furilabs FLX1s) on which I have found Android apps to function without hiccup. It seems like In fact, the Thunderbird for Android app itself seems to function fine. It doesn't crash. It allows me to navigate through the app menus flawlessly.


Thanks for the help!

Hi, I have two accounts in my Thunderbird. They are Gmail (regular gmail account) and CFCC (an institutional account). The CFCC shows up in my Unified Folder list but the Gmail does not. Is that normal? The main Inbox is showing all incoming emails from both accounts so no performance issues, just wondering how to get rid of the CFCC (if that's possible) to eliminate clutter. Thank you. GES

After a keyboard accident I am left with this situation. Lin found the toggle problem with F8. Wxie suggested the password but the password is correct. Thanks to both of them. It seems the problem is the missing M in .com .It might be in the DNS but I don't seem to have anything to try except to try to recreate the account. If I try that I fear I will only exacerbate the situation. I have had this email for many years. This stared 08/08/2026 I have been searching daily for a solution.

I have created an account instance in account settings, and the "Test connection to server" says it is OK, but when I go to the mail tab the get messages button and New Message are grayed out an NO accounts are listed in the "folders" area. Not does it ever ask for my password to the SMTP server I have selected. I have an existing account with my own email service (Hover), and MUST connect to that. This is critical, as I need my e-mail to accomplish necessary activities.

I use a single Thunderbird password to access my six AOL accounts. Starting yesterday, the emails from one of my six AOL accounts do not display, but instead the emails from one of the other accounts is being duplicated in their place. I know the missing emails are indeed still in existence, since I can access that account's emails when I sign in to AOL in other browsers.

hello: for several weeks, each time I tried to add another account back to Thunderbird, MS asked for the verification, and after I added it to link to their server, it kept telling me, "Help us beat the robot," and nothing else happened; the screen stayed blank. I am unable to see any further command. If it is being done using Windows, often you may see holding down the space bar or solving a puzzle to gain access. When it comes to Linux, I ran into this issue.

This is strange! Maybe it is trying to stop me from using this account on this platform to get all my mail here. I've been using it here for many years and no issues. Please see the attached. Please look into this. Thank you....
