How to setup push email for selected folders for Thunderbird for Android

By default, push email is off for all folders. Thunderbird for Android allows you to configure a limited number of folders (IMAP only; POP is not supported.) for push email so that you can see incoming email messages immediately. __TOC__ ==Turn on push email for a folder== {warning}WARNING: The maximum number of push folders for an account is set in the app menu ≡ > Settings gear icon {button [[Image:gear icon]]} > '''your email account''' > {menu Fetching mail} > {menu Advanced} > {menu Max folders to check with push}. Thunderbird does not warn you when this limit is exceeded. Exceeding this limit will result in push email not working on some of the folders you configured for push.{/warning} # Tap {button ≡} at the top left. If your email accounts are hidden, tap {button Show accounts} at the bottom of the screen. # Tap account e.g. your gmail account > tap {button Manage folders}. # Tap your folder of choice. For example: tap '''Inbox''' to enable push email for your Inbox. #;[[Image:enable-push-tb-android-8]] # Turn on push email for this folder by tapping until the slider is on the right for '''Enable Push'''. # Turn off sync for this folder by tapping until the slider is on the left for '''Enable sync'''. {note}The '''Enable sync''' setting is for periodic syncs and should be disabled once push is enabled.{/note} Once push email is enabled for at least one folder, you should see a bell icon in the Android system bar. The bell icon indicates that push email is enabled and working. ;[[Image:bell-icon-android-system-bar-tb8-pushmail-notification]] If you do not see the bell icon, please stop Thunderbird for Android and open it again. ===Alarms & Reminders Permission for Android 13 and above=== {note}This section is not applicable to you if your Android version is older than Android 13.{/note} # On Android 13 and above, a notification will let you know you need to grant the '''Alarms & reminders''' permission. Proceed to the permissions screen by tapping the notification {button Tap to grant permission}. #;[[Image:missing-permission-tb8-android-pushmail]] # Add this permission by tapping until the slider is on the right for '''Allow setting alarms and reminders'''. If you do not grant this permission, then push email will not work. #;[[Image:allow-setting-alarms-reminders-tb8-android-pushmail]] == The push email service notification== * Once the permission is granted (or right after enabling push on older Android versions), Thunderbird for Android will display a a push email service notification entitled '''Waiting for new emails''': *;[[Image:notification-waiting-for-new-emails]] * Tapping on the {button Waiting for new emails} notification will allow you to confgure the notification itself or to disable push email altogether: *;[[Image:configure-notification-or-disable-push]] ==Configure the push email service notification== You can change the display of this notification or hide it by tapping {button Configure notification}. ;[[Image:notification-settings-tb8-android-pushmail]] ==== Hide the push email service notification ==== Hiding the push email service notification does not turn off push email. * Slide '''Show notifications''' to the left. ==== Change the push email service notification ==== Minimizing the notification will hide the bell icon from the Android status bar, but still keep the notification in the notification shade. You will still be able to see the status of your push email service (e.g. '''Waiting for new emails''' or '''Sleeping until network is available'''). ==Disable Push email from the push email service notification== Tap {button Disable Push} to disable push email altogether. ==Turn off push email for a folder== # Tap {button ≡} at the top left. If your email accounts are hidden, tap {button Show accounts} at the bottom of the screen. # Tap account e.g. your gmail account > tap {button Manage folders}. # Tap your folder of choice. For example, tap '''Inbox''' to disable push email for your Inbox. # Turn off push email for this folder by tapping until the slider is on the left for '''Enable Push'''. # Turn on sync for this folder by tapping until the slider is on the right for '''Enable sync'''. == Where are the notifications for new emails configured? == The notifications for new email messages are configured separately from the push email service notification. New email notifications are configured as follows: * Tap the application menu {button ≡} > Settings gear icon {button [[Image:gear icon]]} > {menu Notifications} > {menu Messages} under '''Notification categories''' ==Learn more== * Wikipedia: [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_email Push email] * Google: [https://support.google.com/android/answer/9079661 Control notifications on Android]
