Edit: I gave 2 stars and always do that to call devs att to issues, but that was unfair. This app is everything I need, but I wish they would change the way they handle notifications (pushvspoll) and fix the problem of those being inconsistent. Other clients don't have that issue. Been using Tb for Linux Desktop and have bad 0 issues so far and love it. Hope it gets fixed here as well. Upping to 4 stars. 5 if you solve this!!

Have edited my review regarding push notifications. There is a roundabout way of doing it. It's very unclear when installing the app. Your team needs a better way to set up the app for new users. Whole point of email is to receive email and know it's there. When installing the app... No notifications are even active. The complete opposite of what a user wants. You shouldn't have to dig through menus to setup notifications.

Thanks for your feedback. From feedback like yours, we know this is a pain point, and we're working on making our folder settings more intuitive to find and use. Sorry for any frustration, and you can follow our development progress every month at blog.thunderbird.net

Having just converted my desktop to Thunderbird to replace the awful 'new outlook', I installed the T-bird mobile app on my Android. Using the QR was seamless and a really great feature and I like the interface and range of options. Sadly, that's where my praise ends because it won't sync or push emails. Even when I can see an email on my desktop there's nothing on my phone, no notification on the screen or app icon. Even manually refreshing the inbox several times doesn't work = disappointing.

Thanks for trying us and we're sorry for any frustration setting up push notifications. These are enabled by folder, and for directions, you can go to Settings > Misc > Get Help > Settings and read the article 'Configure push email...' We hope this helps get push notifications working on your phone!
