A way to fetch emails faster

more options

I'm just wondering if it's possible to get a fetch option that happens more frequently than fifteen minutes. On accounts I'm logged into on multiple devices I'll get the email on my iphone app and then I'm waiting for it to pop up in thunderbird on mobile.

So in Thunderbird for Android you have to set each folder to "push". To do so:

  1. Tap the three line hamburger menu to show the sidebar.
  2. At the bottom of the screen you will see a "Manage folders" icon and text you can click.
  3. From there you can pick any folder and check the box / toggle on the one that reads "Enable Push".

For the mobile app? I only see fetch options.
