@thunderbird yeah... Thunderbird on Android is not fun. I have to give it unrestricted battery just for checking mail every hour (push support is a joke!). "Mark as read" in the notification does not work either (the notification will just popup again).

I just want a notification when I get a mail, that should not be an issue in 2026.

Anyway, good luck on that (hope you fix it).

@rodlie @thunderbird It's less of a Thunderbird issue and more of an Android issue. Android and email weren't designed with notifications outside Google's push notification system in mind. I think the blog describes it very well if you haven't fully read it.

@thunderbird I hope it has extensions!

@voxel As a user I don't care about the tech stuff, just do notifications. Other apps can do it.

As a developer I'm sure I could make something that does notification just fine on Android.

@thunderbird in the post you say that you are still looking for a staff iOS engineer, but the job posting doesn’t seem to be on the Mozilla Job page, is it posted elsewhere?
