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.

Change request. Hi, With Thunderbird for Windows I can free-type a From: address that is different from the account email address, and I would like to do this on the Android version too. For the avoidance of doubt, I don't want to use another account's email address, I want to free-type whatever I choose.

For example Yahoo allows me to create up to 500 email aliases in the form alias-anyword@yahoo.com

As this feature has always been available on the desktop version, is it something you could incorporate on Android?

I have not found a way to print an email from Thunderbird for Android. There are several occasions when that is important for me. Now I have to leave Thunderbird and log into a web client to be able to print a copy of an email.
