Thunderbird Android - IMAP Push stops updating

Thunderbird Android v8.2 / Pixel 6a / Android 15 (Feb 2025 security update)

IMAP Push in use for Inboxes only on 3 mail accounts (2 Comcast; 1 Gmail) 

  - Enable Push: "on"
  - Enable sync: "off" (for Inboxes; on for all other mail folders)


Installed TB in November 2024 and experienced no problems until recently. Beginning in early February 2025, inbox push/update stops working every ~24 hours. If I go to Android settings and force stop TB, clear cache, then restart TB, Inboxes immediately sync with servers and again function fine for approximately 24 hours (not exactly).

Using TB for 3 e-mail accounts. Only the 3 Inboxes have push enabled (and sync disabled). All other mail folders on each account set to sync every 60 minutes. This configuration was set up on initial installation and worked without issue until recently. The only system modification made in this timeframe was installing the February 2025 Android security update.

Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Any suggestions?

Thank you.
