Notifications of New Emails Showing Twice

more options

I don't know if I just have something configured wrong or if this is a bug.

In case it is relevant, I originally came from the K-9 app and imported my settings to the new Thunderbird app. K-9 is now uninstalled.

I have more than one account, and each inbox is set to show in Unified Inbox.

When I get any new email for any account, I actually get 2 of the exact same notification for each email. There isn't actually 2 emails with the same sender and subject line, when tapping on either of the notifications the app opens and there is just the one email.

I thought maybe Unified Inbox had its own notification setting which might explain why I was getting notified twice, but if there is I cannot find it.

I could always try removing all the accounts and re-adding them, but since I have quite a few I would like to avoid that if I can (and why I chose importing from K-9 rather than manually adding and configuring each one).

Thanks for any assistance.

Weirdly enough, it seems to have stopped doing it now.
