Hello,

Referring to your article https://mzl.la/3TS8WcA (Import settings and data into Thunderbird for Android) . The first step is : Export Thunderbird Desktop settings

  Click ≡ > Tools > Export for Mobile. 

However, I am running version 128.3.3esr (64 bits) "Nebula" and the menu "Export for Mobile" isn't available under "Tools" as mentioned in the article.

Please advise

Regards

Hello David,

I checked the blog, but no thread or discussion regarding the topic of generating a QR code on Desktop version to scan and import accounts on the newly release Mobile / Android version of Thunderbird.

This is still new, so one possibility is to test it yourself and contribute your findings to that blog.

I had been trying this on the beta a few times, and now that the feature has been released, I had some hope it might work. No such luck on the Android stable with version 128 on desktop. I've tried two different screens and two different Android devices.

Any tips on how to debug this?
