Hi, can you check some of the troubleshooting steps at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-android-import ? Try holding the camera a bit further away, and if you have dark mode enabled on desktop maybe disable it so the QR code is black/white.

@kewisch Can confirm that we have encountered the same issue using 8.1, 8.0 and 8.0.b5 when attempting to import more than 2 accounts. Changing the OS theme to light was the correct workaround in order for the device to properly scan the QR code.

Same issue for me on Android.

-Desktop TB version 128.4.1esr (64-bit) Ubuntu Mate. -Android 14 -Pixel 5

After the step 'Select Import settings' the camera opens and a DONE button is shown but pressing it does nothing but move to the next page without any settings transferred.
