2025-Jan: better at sync between desktop and phone, but still needs work. Good first step. Going back to K9Mail for now since I can't get the android and desktop apps to sync with each other and don't have time to plow through the trouble ticket list to see if there's a fix. Will check back in a few months. Look forward to eventually converting to "just Thunderbird" but for now I need a solution that just works, and that's Windows Thunderbird and Android K9Mail.

It's possible you may need to set your app to delete messages from the server as well as your phone. To delete messages from the server when you delete them from the app, in Settings > [Account] > Fetching Mail, enable 'Sync server deletions,' as discussed here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1473053

Great app that's finally got me off gmail. I really like the UI, it's quick, responsive and is simple to use (although a few settings, like notifications, need reworking). Basically just a FOSS equivalent to Gmail, with a few improvements like push notifications for non-gmail accounts.

I've been using Thunderbird on desktop for many years and I love it. But the Android app doesn't work very good. Emails arrive much later than a few other email apps I tried, and happens with all my email addresses (Gmail, Outlook, work email). I tried changing all possible settings, including Android battery settings, and waited for a few days, but no change - emails arrive from a few minutes to half an hour late.
