Description
- Article to update: Import settings and data into Thunderbird for Android
Things to document:
- There were some improvements in TB Desktop 153, see https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/8520 (including change app to light theme)
Scan the QR code with another app, view the text. If it contains a null anywhere we'll want to know some more details about that account. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1934323 which has some troubleshooting steps from our Desktop developers. - Perhaps document that there are folks where it still doesn't work (e.g. in 8464), so add a troubleshooting section
- Perhaps document in 155 that TB now has an Enterprise policy, DisableQRExport, that can disable QR export.
